Last time I agreed to an online chess match, which happened to be at that site, the damn thing wouldn't load.

I would save I suck horribly at Chess. Risk, Magic, most games, and I'll be up to the challenge.

Alright, modified Round Robin Tournament where you try to play as many people as possible. Post your user name on the site, and whenever you have the time play against an opponent. After the match post who won, AS WELL AS the way the games went (i.e. 2-1) . 3 game match, each person plays a colour at least once, the colours for the third game can be given out however you want.

More people can join as they want, that's why this is a Round Robin. End Date for this tournament= May 9th good?

Current participants:
NecronLord

Gandalf

Enforcer Talen

Shinova

Stampede

Allyrium

Captain Cyran EDIT: Removed because I misinterperated his Spammilishious post!

Verilon

Ignorant Twit

JediNeophyte

SeaSkimmer
