Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
Just have anyone play anyone, keep records and post games here, and eventually there would be something of a consensus over who's the best. Over at TWC, I and Harry Lime beat everyone until we played each other, and he beat me in both legs.

Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
Pan' may have the best answer thus far. My original concept was a PBeM -- but it would seem that others lack patience and perhaps trust in such an approach (which I admit would take some time to resolve).
What say you?
Interested still?
Pan' on track?
I'll put together a list of players soon and we can decide pairings, no pairings or whatever.

Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
I'm still interested.
Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
ummm....im still partially interested

Still here,

Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
I think you organise the pairings, and then the two agree on a method to play it.
Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
I'm up for anything.

Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
I like to play chess, so still interested
The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.

I'm still interested, but no less rusty either!

Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
I second Pever. Living in school, I dont think most of the chess servers will work for me. So if we can start it and sort those out with the opponent, that will be nice
Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
i hope shlins bad
Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
Okay. All those listed by Ichigo will be considered to be in and playing.
We'll give it to Saturday at Midnight EDT for signups, then I'll work out pairings using random.org.
Tournament bracketing will be set up and then the players will be responsible for choosing the means of their play (PBem; PBchat; online game). Each pair will be given a set amount of time to complete their best of three match (what amount do you think will do?)
Both opponents must communicate the results to the thread (so that we may see that both concur).
Round 2 may not start until Round 1 is completed, so faster pairs will have some downtime between rounds.
Seem good?

Alrighty.
