To play in the tournament you have to do the following steps:

STEP 1: Become a member of Chesscube. It is free. Go to http://www.chesscube.com and register.

STEP 2: On Tuesday, 22 Mar at 8:00 pm go to my blog page (http://paulmcgaughsblog.blogspot.com/) and sign on to the chesscube application. IMPORTANT: It's very important that you sign on through my website as the tournament has been created specifically for my website/blog.

STEP 3: Go to the chatroom area and click on the Vegas Chess room. NOTE: This step is optional, but is available if you want to chat.

STEP 4: Go to the tournament area and enter the tournament titled "Vegas Street Fight".

The tournament will run non-stop for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes the person with the most points wins.

It will be my first time doing this so I hope it turns out alright.

cheers
