Amazons: I agree that these pieces don’t really work. There’s a reason why, while they tried replacing the queen with an Amazon for a while in Russia, they decided the FIDE queen was better.

Time control and number of games: There has been a lot of discussion about the the number of games, such as this posting, this posting, this posting, this posting, this posting, this posting, this posting, and this posting.

I want to see this tournament done in six months. My idea: 12 games, 24 hours per move with two weeks spare time for vacations and what not. Adjudication after two months. What do other people think? How should we guarantee that the tournament is finished up in 6 months?
