Gameroom Chess Tourney?

[pevergreen]

Truth be told I had no idea what I was doing.

[Prince Cobra]

When the next pairing(3rd) starts???

[Caius]

Martok and Caius have started a bloody slaughter...

Test match: http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=10570695

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Even with the extra day, we should be in our third pairs as yesterday evening.

[Martok]

Uff da! Caius and I are locked in a tough match right now. Things have been pretty tense throughout (in a good way).

[Prince Cobra]

Summoning armies to face Martok... Waiting for answer from my emissaries...

[Wasp]

Seamus, the second game between Martok and myself isn't yet updated in the starting post

[FactionHeir]

Even with the extra day, we should be in our third pairs as yesterday evening.

Been having some troubles getting on at the same time as Winter since he can only do after 8pm PST (which is 4am my time) so we've been playing the step by step mode and are about mid game on the first one. I guess I'll start challenging the next person in my group?

[Prince Cobra]

Similiar happening here since Martok had started his game with Caius(been in similiar position and I do not want to interrupt them). I do not mind but I'll be on-line about real-time 15GMT tomorrow. Maybe I'll have to push the things (with Wasp or Rhy' dependoing on their wish) since I'm going to be absent in the weekend. Seamus?

Happy Birthday, FH!

Note: Due to my engagement the time per move should be not less than 5 days per move. I have no habbit to prolong the chess games long so don't worry

Sorry for the inconcenience

[Andres]

Update:

I'm in my second game against Pannonian (entering mid game) and first game against Xiahou (early stage).

I'm pretty sure the game with Pannonian will be over tomorrow or the Friday, it'll probably take a bit longer to finish the two games against Xiahou because of different timezones.

I won't be able to play on Saturday and most of Sunday because of RL obligations.

A cracking game it currently is as well.

[TevashSzat]

It seems as if I'm going to have to pull out of this mainly because I don't have too much time in the week coming up at least for me to be able to sit down and have a good chess game with anyone.

Martok's post just above didn't indicate it had concluded. Results?

Here's the second game between Martok and myself. Martok, thanks for two interesting games! Perhaps we can play again sometime?

I'd like that very much.

And in the meantime, maybe, just maybe, I'll learn how to not lose my queen so quickly....

[glyphz]

Reporting that pever and me have finished our scheduled matches.

glyphz 2 - 0 pevergreen

edit: also started a match with Seamus, though i'm not 100% sure whether it is official tourney match

[pevergreen]

Yup, I confirm those results.

Lets see if I can eventually break my year long chess losing spree.

[cambovenzi]

i interested in some games.
not all that great or anything, but im alright most of the time.
lmk. PM or post or something. sn is the same on chess.com

[Martok]

Caius and I have agreed to a draw in our first match. I'm just waiting for him to officially accept my draw offer.

Tevash just dropped out. You're in as his replacement. Good luck.

[Pannonian]

I won my second game against Andres, making it 2-0 over 2 legs. It was an even game with us jostling for position and time, until he overlooked mate in one.

[Pannonian]

I advise people to have a look at the current Xiahou-Andres game. Swash dem buckles lad!

[Andres]

I won, but this was a very close one

Well played Xiahou

http://www.chess.com/echess/game.htm...582494&alert=1

Move 14 by white (Xiahou) was brilliant I really thought I lost the game there.

[CountArach]

Yeah that was a good game. I especially like what Xiahou did with his Queen to pin the Rook. I didn't see that at first.

[seireikhaan]

Currently awaiting Ichi to start our first game.

[seireikhaan]

Well, Ichi trounced me in game one.

Currently in an epic, 40 turn+ struggle to the death. http://www.chess.com/echess/game.htm...708038&alert=1

[seireikhaan]

Dang it...

Ichi pulled it out in the end. Good game.

[Csargo]

Won both games against khaan. Second one was a bloodbath

[FactionHeir]

None of my current opponents have made any moves in the last 36 hours.

[shlin28]

I've been waiting for you to make a move
