Subject: Questions Answered

Some people were asking me about the World Championship tournament, where the winner receives $2000 and then would play me for the title.

Since only 3 people have signed up, will the winner still receive $2000?

The answer is "yes". The prize fund comes from the coffers of our sales, such as Gothic Chess boards and things like that. We have more than enough money to cover the prize fund.

So, for $50, you have a chance to win $2000.

The tournament starts on September 1, and I think the average rating of the players is below 1500!

Take a chance! Somebody will win the $2000, and it will not be me!

I am still waiting for confirmation of my registration in the tournament. I sent in $50, but have not heard any news. When does this start? Today is Sept. 1st, and it is 23:00hrs here in LA, so it's already Tuesday on the East coast where Ed Trice is from.

What's going on?

Felix: The tournaments rules have been changed, there is no more a registration fee and the prize has been raised to $3000. I am sure that if you ask Ed to send the $50 back to you, he will do it.
And the tournament starts on 1st October 2003. You can find more information on GothicChess.org.

I sent an email to everyone who registered for the tournament, but one email bounced back, so I guess that was you Felix. Just sent an email to GothicChessInfo@aol.com with your info, and I will send your money back to you.
