Author | Topic: Chess Tournament | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hyroglyphx Inactive Member |
A hobby of mine is online chess. I was wondering if anyone would like to join in a mini-tournament.
If interested, sign up here and post your online screen name in this thread, preferably with a link. I will invite you and when enough people join, we can start the tournament. "Political correctness is tyranny with manners." -- Charlton Heston

I haven't recieved an invitation yet I haven't sent any out because we only have four people playing thus far thanks to you, CosmicChimp, and Caffeine. Not much of a tournament with just us. If more people don't join within a week (we need about 12, realistically) then it is pointless. I assumed more people would be in to chess at EvC. I guess I was wrong.

It doesn't look like too many people are interested in playing chess. This is the last call for alcohol. Starting tomorrow I will be sending out invitations.
So far we have: 1. Hyroglyphx (Paradigm_Lost)2. CosmicChimp 3. Slavesque 4. Hotjer 5. Caffeine (Hydraulic_Organ) 6. Son Goku (Ceithearnach) 7. Apothecus 8. Omni (defunct EvC member interested in playing) Tentative is Catholic Scientist. This is the last call. If some of you out there are interested but are intimitated, don't be. It's just for kicks. My Elo rating hovers around 1125 to 1275. That places me as a Class D to Class E player. In other words, in terms of competition I'm still considered a beginner and that's after 600 + games. Those with a clean slate will start out at 1200 and will remain at 1200 for 5 games until computer analysis determines your true Elo rating based on win/loss ratio. So I encourage you to play and have fun. If you think time will be a factor, don't let that worry you. You will have 2 or 3 days to contemplate each move. This isn't speed chess.

Alright we've got some issues. New rules stipulate that "at least 5 previous wins in any rated games are required for participation in mini-tournaments."

All right, we don't have much else of a choice.
Here is how it works: Some of you will be simultaneously playing 2 games against 2 people who I am randomly selecting through lots. So you will be playing a total of 4 games at a time. When challenged to play you MUST be both White and Black when playing the same player. Here's the first bracket.
1. Piltdownrook (Apothecus) vs Hooah212002 (x's 2) 2. Paradigm_Lost (Hyroglyphx) vs Slevesque (x's 2) 3. Hydraulic_Organ (Caffeine) vs Ceithearnach (Son Goku) (x's 2) 4. CosmicChimp vs Piltdownrook (Apothecus) (x's 2) 5. Omnivorous vs Hydraulic_Organ (Caffeine) (x's 2) 6. Hotjer vs Paradigm_Lost (Hyroglyphx) (x's 2) 7. Slevesque vs Hooah212002 (x's 2) 8. CosmicChimp vs Slevesque (x's 2) 9. Hotjer vs Ceithearnach (Son Goku) (x's 2) For the opening match, each of you have 2 matches (4 games) with the exception of Omnivorous because we have an odd number of players. Should your games result in a tie (either 1 to 1 or 2 draws) you must play one more game to determine who goes on to the finals. Please report all winnings on this forum so that I and Caffeine can keep track. Also, be sure to set your games at 3-days per move minimum. If you feel like your game will time-out, you have the option to extend time. So get started! Look at who you are matched with and challenge them on Gameknot. Remember to play one game White and one game Black for each game. "Political correctness is tyranny with manners." -- Charlton Heston

Random color to start or choose a color you want to start with. It doesn't matter just as long as you play both White and Black since you play each player a minimum of 2 times. I've started my 2 games with Hotjer but am still awaiting for Slevesque to accept my challenge. "Political correctness is tyranny with manners." -- Charlton Heston

I take back what I said about the 3 day wait. I actually rather enjoy being able to take my time in regards to moves. I've never played chess this way. I prefer to play fast but sometimes you can't sit down and play a whole chess game because you have things to do. It's nice to be able to 1. Analyze each move and 2. Be able to leave and take care of more immediate matters. "Political correctness is tyranny with manners." -- Charlton Heston
