Curse you, and curse my inattention more, my plan has been stolen. :x

Any chance of me joining, any chance at all? *puppydog eyes*

Hmm, why don't you and Consequences pair up for this round, and I'll rework the schedule to take it into account.

I'm sorry, but what is the time for our scheduled bouts? What are we using to play?

The Dark (W) vs. consequences (B)

Draw (we both closed the window on accident. Long, brilliant defensive game :wink: ).

Yeah, His Bennetti's defense was a thing of beauty. :wink:

I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

The time is whenever you and your opponent can fit it in, the place is any place you and your opponent can meet and play, be it Yahoo's chess rooms, Pogo.com, or your local park. Work it out with your opponent, and play it out.

Pity you don't have the move list, I'd have liked to have seen it, you playing the other games later?

I'll keep playing (and try to make a hardcopy of the moves, since I thought I had e-mailed them to myself, but I haven't recieved it). I haven't played in years, and this is fun.

Just for confirmation it is best of five?

*Jaepheth and I had our match. It was a close battle, but Jaepheth came through for the win.

Due to time constraints for both of us Jaepheth and I have agreed that this game is worth 3 points.

Just for reference/warning, Trillian isn't working for me, so I've only got MSN for IM's right now.

Well, technically, we did forget to set the 30 min apiece timelimit. If not every game lasts 3 and a half hours, then I bet we could get a few more in. Maybe Monday?

EDIT: Though I guess I could also use the time to finish and polish the next chapter in my fanfic.

Guess that puts me on the loosing side now.

Straha and I - a draw

I played with white


He almost got me but one moment of loss of focus and I proved him that "resistance is not always futile" :mrgreen:

EDIT: I removed the game history because Straha was faster than me, but I keep my comment :twisted:

EDIT 2: Straha, my man ... it's COMOSICUS not otherwise

Bump.
So, how many more games in the first round need to be played?

If anyone wants some pointers, I can try helping if I have some time spare.

I must say your time constraints are awfully tight.

I still have my match with Bookworm to play. Unfortunately, it appears our schedules are completely opposite, so we haven't been able to work it out.

I'm still recovering from the flu, so until my head doesn't feel foggy anymore can't play Gandalf yet.


It's best out of five games or just one game?

I am going to try and have the match with Destruct this Tuesday because he works nights so it has been a little pain in the butt to work it out.
