I would join for fun. I am honest and play mostly for fun, but the electricity here in the middle of nowhere Thailand is a bit sketchy so had to redo more turns than I want to acknowledge. Its never off for long but have these like 2 second breaks fairly often. Very annoying having to restart the computer and everything.

whatever are you doing in Thailand?

My only concern for the tournament is it could take years...
I have played games for 3 to 4 months...and that is one move a day...
I would presume that once one side has a major victory in points that the game can be called?
As well as if one opponent is thrashed early they can surrender.

Yes it probably might take years. I play a little bit of chess and am still in a tournament that started in 2018 so slow moving. I personally dont mind if it takes a long time but of course unlike chess over the years there will be new games showing up and people might leave. I am not even sure how many would be interested today as there are not that many applications in this thread.
But if we get going I dont mind giving it a shot.

The thing about it could last for years is somewhat exaggerated, I admit. But depending on the number of players and the format of the championship it could take longer.
Cheats are easy to spot but difficult to prove. I don't know if it would be feasible for players to record with some screen video application, their turn when they play and send them to a referee.

Cheats don't really concern me...
IF you want to cheat that is fine. You are honestly just cheating yourself.
Not like you are winning anything other than a local tournament.
I have had good games last quite a few months...so I guess a year is not that long...
But yes format will matter.
