The 1000 player tournament

 While the entries for the 2021 O2C Doeberl Cup look like they may exceed 300, they still pale in comparison to some online events. The 2021 World University Blitz tournament currently has an entry of 1002 players, which is one of the biggest organised events I've ever seen. The tournament will be held over 2 days, with 20 rounds in total to be played. It will be held on the Tornelo platform and will start at 2pm UTC (which is 1am Canberra time!). There are a few Australian players brave enough to play, including a team from the University of Sydney. A full list of entries can be found at http://chess-results.com/tnr551422.aspx?lan=1&zeilen=99999
