This is great! I hope I can make it 🙂
I play on ICC every day but never in these tournaments. I have no chance of winning against the good players. some GM will probably win.
But I must admit this is a great prize fund. And the tournament will be will fought. Why not it is free to play.
You can even sign up for a 2 week free membership and play for the big prize.
