If any of my group wish to do our games already, just let me know!
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.
Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
So was the dealine for the first round 00:01 last night (aka this morning)? Will the results be posted?
Also should we start the second round games now?
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
Yeah, that second game was a blast to play! Unfortunately for myself, I was just a little too focused on capturing your king (to the detriment of my defenses).
In the immortal words of the Unknown Philosopher: "Oops."
I was wondering this as well. I'm next scheduled toget my butt kicked byplay Wasp, if I'm not mistaken.

Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
With the deadline expired, Elite Ferret did not respond to my PM and thus no games were played. Hopefully I'll get a chance to actually get in a game with Quintus.

Ah, Martok, in which timezone are you? Perhaps we should try to schedule something? Drop me a PM if you read this; I'm looking forward to our game!

Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
Proceed onto your second opponent if at all possible. If still short of a first opponent, let me know and we'll try to swat up a replacement. Andres and Glyphz have expressed interest, ethelred is here as well, possibly pizza though he's busy.

Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
Glyphz and Andres added in as replacements. Please continue with second pairings and finish any first pairing games as time permits.

Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?

Or that "Total War" chess players are willing to accept horrific casualties to achieve a close victory!

Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
Hey,
http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=10468376 a friendly game between me and gylpz tunred out to be a real mcarnage. It was full with mistakes from both sides and twice it was about to finish draw. Few time after my Queen perished, I offered draw... It was declined and the game twisted...
This is a wonderful game, though full of mistakes from the both sides... And yet it was beautiful...

Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
Great game, Stephen Asen.It's too bad I didn't notice the draw offers being presented... I'd be quick to accept. By the time I decided to offer a draw, I just made the last big blunder(50. Rc7)
