Questions to ask chess players
There will be many IMs and GMs taking part in DATMO so this time, I hope, I will have the courage to set up some short interview with them.
Questions to ask:
1. When did you start playing chess?
2. How many hours do you spend on chess?
3. On a scale of 0-10 how do you rate DATMO?
4. [...]
Final DATMO going out with a BANG!

The tournament website has been registered and I’m setting up the various sections. The template I’ll be using very similiar to http://nc08.gilachess.com

Luckily a quick Google search confirmed I have [...]
