RE: Steem Chess Tournament February 01 ... The winner is @eniolw (last edition)
Hello @schamangerbert. I'm really impressed with your dedication along these years to keep the tournaments alive. I'm afraid to say that, with only 7 players, the event turned to have only a symbolic value. As you said, it is worthless to put energy on it. But I'm not sure if by cutting strong players you are going the get other players interested.
Of course, I want to win all my games and so the season, but I would be Ok to get "special conditions" in order to achieve a balance of forces. If you want to try it, I agree.
My apologies for my English...
Thank you! We try again next week, this week is no tournament, time to think about it. No berserk, and open without password. Two little changes that maybe help us. And it would be nice to have spanish, russian, polish ... language reminder posts also.
When it comes to Announcement post, I think it would be nice to create tournament on Lichess more than 1 hour before start and create Announcement post when tournament is already created so You can put link in post from the start.
I think most people are simply checking "newest" posts in tags interesting to them. If they see the link, some of them will click it. If they see the post without link, they will browse other posts and when the link will be put in the post, the post will be hidden under a lot of newer posts and people will not come back to it.
The same think may correspond to reminder posts in spanish/russian/polish You want us to make. They would be better if the link to tournament will be inside them as they are new posts.
Of course I'm not a Steemit expert, this is only my private thought without any proof.
Best regards.
Ok, I will try to make the link earlier.
I edit also the title: 2 days to go, 1 day .., less then 2 hours ....
But you also may make one post 2 days before and one 1 hour before.
I try to make the post as I did it a long time 2 days before so you have enough time to make your posts with link.
