Play Chess Elite, Win A MacBook Pro & Killer Other Stuff
ChessEliteSplash Now here’s how to run a contest … throw out a MacBook Pro as the grand prize … only worth like twelve hundred dollars … damn!

The folks at 99Games are holding a ridonkulous promotion for their iPhone game Chess Elite [iTunes – $3.99]. We estimated the total value of prizes to be given away … over two grand (again … damn)! A while back we reviewed the Chess Elite app and it totally kicks ass [read our review], so jumping in the contest action is a no-brainer.

Just shut up and tell me how to win!!! … The contest facilitates players to polish and hone their chess skills. Players need to compete against other players in the Chess Elite online community and increase their Elo Rating by winning against other players. Everyone starts with an Elo rating of 1,600 when they join the community.

There is no limit to the number of games a player can play simultaneously. Top players will be awarded with fabulous gadgets and the first player to achieve an Elo Rating of 2,500 will win a shiny new MacBook Pro. Standard Elo rating system is followed to compute the rating of players. More details at … http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system
