The IBS Series

IBS
Internal Blood Shed or in its today form IBS is the grandpa of V-FEC tourneys and first introduced to compile the chess experience with friendship and trust. It was a battle-ground for all members with fast time controls and used to hold in a few hours whenever some people "felt like it". The tourney inspired members to invent other forms of competition among themselves and also some guests who were interested to play the series. IBS tourneys ended with its XII round in Wednesday, May 21, 2008.
