    1. The reason you did not get an email is because I cannot see that you registered for the event. I registered on the website and did not register for the actual event. Did you follow all the steps in the brochure?

      1. Hi Sipho – please be advised that you did not follow the instructions to register for this event which were clearly communicated in the brochure and above – there were multiple steps to register. You only completed step one and created a profile on SA Chess Hub. You failed to register for the actual tournament and thus did not receive the links. You cannot leave it to the last day and expect to play. I am sorry for you but please follow all the steps for the next round.

    1. The tournament is played on Lichess. I tried searching the Lichess username you provided and there are no users on Lichess by that name. You must have a Lichess account to play in the tournament. Please urgently register a username and join the Curro Lichess team (type your name and school in the comments block). Whatsapp 083 461 8742 if you need assistance.

    1. If you referring to this website, the easiest way to tell is by checking that your username appears at the top of the website.
