Gorogoro Shogi tournament is happening today. I am not yet comfortable with any of the Shogi variants and also I am not yet comfortable with recently released Shinobi chess. Not even at the newbie level.
Anyway, I am busy today. Let me see if I can participate in some fairy piece variant chess tournament tomorrow or during the upcoming week.
Actually, how will an alert be received if a tournament in
www.pychess.org is about to start? Only by
www.lichess.org private message? Can an alert also be set up by e-mail? Can a mobile phone notification arrive with sound if
www.lichess.org mobile app is installed in my mobile phone?
How long before starting a tournament will an alert arrive? Only 1 hour before? Or can it be extended even further, for example 24 hours or at least 12 hours? Or if it must be 1 hour only, can tournaments be scheduled only during a fixed time on any given day, for example 2:00 PM UTC, so that it will be easier for everyone to check at that time without missing out any? This time should be cleverly chosen such that everyone or most people whoever would be interested to participate in the tournament would be freely available to play readily enough or at least awake.
