WOWY!!
So far this site has been above my expectations. One improvement I can think of: posting the tournament schedule. It could be posted independently where it is easily accessible to all, ie: on the Chesspark window under Future Tournaments (or some other heading) instead of having to chase all over the site to find it. Just a thought. Good work.
cet bon et manifique
good
