This site is still IMHO the best site for Freestyle. The interface is easy to understand and everything is clear, that's important to any site.

That's why I don't understand why the traffic has dwindled so. I'm sure we could come up with something to increase the Freestyle on here.

I'll start with my idea, :) Have a monthly Freestyle OPEN tournament. The only requirent is a 2 E-point entry fee. The winner gets 90%, FICGS gets 10%. The time controls would have to be bullet, 5 min with 15 second increment. If 8 players or less, it could be a round robin. 9 players or more, even up to a hundred!, would play a swiss style. Make it unrated so anybody could join. Have it on the first Sat. of the month. It would have to start at least by 1800 server time to get all the rounds in in ONE DAY.

One change for freestyle chess would be option to choose time control.

One thing that might help generate traffic for both freestyle and normal time limits is a Wiki entry for FICGS with a few links from other Wiki articles.

Any reason why FICGS does not have one?
