Sorry it took me a while to get round to it, but I've invited everyone from the last tournament to a new one. I'll give everyone a couple of days so everyone who wants to accept can; then I'll start. Let me know here if any new players want an invite!

I'm in, Phat.
I've been doing AARP crossword puzzles, so I'm ready."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."

Did you set any limits on who can join the tournament?
There's someone named 'slupsk' and I can't imagine they are a member here...Love your enemies!

I'd like to get at least 4 more of you so that we have an even field.

That seems unlikely given how many we had for the last tournament... and the one before. The only other member I can see joining is frako; fearandloathing hasn't been on in a long time and probably isn't reading this thread.
Of course if you wait long enough, I'm sure you'll get plenty of non-members joining up... Edited by Jon, : No reason given.Love your enemies!

The tournament is starting. 6 is an even number. I doubt I'll make it past the first round, but I'll certainly give it the old college try!

Looks like the next round is going.
Good thing I'm not white this one or I'd be close to timing out. Speaking of which, don't forget to take your turn, Mr Chimp! Love your enemies! |

I'm confused.
I thought my round with caffeine finished at Omni 1.5 Caffeine 0.5 games. Caffeine launched the first game, and I responded with an opposite color challenge. I won the first, and played for a draw in the second, sine that was all I needed to win the match-up. We played a third game which I thought was casual, and I played it that way. Lost, too So is it that I didn't start the second game correctly through the tournament structure? If so, okay, my bad. I wish I'd known before we started the third, however. Is this to be another 2-game round? I have a challenge from caffeine playing white. Should I send a challenge now with me playing white? How do I do that officially, so it counts?"If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads." Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto.-Terence

Just go into the tournament (Play>Tournaments>EvC tournament). You'll find the list of games there. Go into yours and start playing.
The site starts the games for you automatically. There's no need to send any challenges. Edit: Here's the game you should be playing now: Chess: Kriticek vs Omnivorous - Chess.com Edited by Jon, : No reason given.Love your enemies!
