ICC Help: Thematic

Thematic Tournaments on ICC Come Join the Fun!

Every Thursday at 9:00 PM Eastern (server) Time, ICC hosts a rated Opening Thematic Tournament at the G/15 time control.

Entries are accepted starting at 8:45PM the same day. To enter the tournament at that time, type:

Command:  tell Slomato join
 If you are entering during rounds 1 or two, replace the command
 with /tell Slomato latejoin Also, type: /tell 222 Hi I am in.

An opening thematic tournament is one in which the opening moves are   
specified in advance.  These tournaments provide a splendid way to learn
an opening, since there is no teacher quite like playing both the white
and black side of the opening under the fire of tournament play.
Additionally, this tournament also features a slower time control, for
those players who prefer a somewhat slower game.

Type finger thematic to see the feature opening for that week, and for other additional information. "message Thematic" with both recommendations for openings to be used in Thematics, and with other questions.
