Preserved Topic: Chess Tourney II (Page 1 of 2)

http://www.haughtbk.com/ozonetourney.html <---- Tourney page finally updated.

We are just waiting for two games to be completed then we can move on to round 2.

Looks like benev has dropped out of the tourney. Would anyone like to be a replacement? Dark, how about you?

Anyone heard from adrock? Seems that game is being held up.

Looks like everyone is having fun. As round 2 starts we will be seeing folks of comparable skill 'officially' slugging it out. I know there are other side games in the works. Maybe when I have time I'll add them to the tourney page. For now, though, let's just see if the last two games can be moved along and then I'll do the official pairings for round 2.

Have fun!

Sure thing man. Count me in.

Dark

Good. Now we have two options.

1- You and Doc get a game going now and Doc's game against benev will be "like it never happened". This is provided that you and Doc think you can keep a game moving along at a decent pace (not a killer pace ... just finish in about the time it might take for the other two active games to finish ... we're not talking about playing the whole game in just a day or two!)

2- Doc will take a point for the game against benev. Dark will start playing in round 2 with no points.

It's up to y'all. Go with option one, then go ahead a start a game now. Go with option two, then just hang out and wait for the 2nd round to start.

Well I would go for #2.
I don't want doc to lose credit for a game.

Turn base is up to you Doc.
I'm currently in about 4 other games, but they are going really slow.
So I can do 2-3 moves a day, but I also do many moves a day.
I just finshed 2 complete games with a friend in less than 6hrs.

Dark

I will be leaving Sunday morning and not have access to a computer for about 5 days, hopefully my game will be finished by then. It'd be great if someone wanted to wait for me and start a game then, but I understand if nobody does.

Whoah, sorry about missing the discussion, I've been busy on a client gig. (Still have work to do but this is a long weekend, good old JC did something special 50 days ago, yay!) Hmm, I would like to keep the points for that game, I did earn them. I've seen tournaments won by people who entered 2 games late, they just start with no points, of course, it's possible, and there's precedence. I notice that Stan has a "make your own tourney" function, with automated rules and forfeits for delayed games, maybe we should look into that next time around?

I'm ready for the next round, though. Of the 2 games left, one looks like it may end by Sunday, and the other may last for ages with 10 days between moves and only 2 pawns captured. Perhaps for tournament play we should set the forfeit periods quicker, like 7 days?

Your pal, -doc-

Having a bit of trouble with my player page for "Synthetic" I can't long in to my player page,

So stan said it would be best to make another name and password

I am now going to use "Xtrae" if anyone wants to know...

"I'm sorry WebShaman, I am unable to finish my game with you due to this"

but I'll offer you the win, since it was not your fault this has happened.

That sucks.
Hope stan can change your ranking.


Dark

Crap I totally forgot about my game of chess! Oh well, count me as a forfeit.

Well I am one move away from being in checkmate...and with adrock forefiting that would be all of the games from round one.

I have no acive games going on at the moment, so when ever we figure who plays who or what not I'm open for a game.

If anyone wants an unofficial game on the side, well i'm open to that also

remember i'm under the name of "Xtrae"

Ok, Synthetic, the game is terminated...too bad, the game was going so well...for me

So, let's get the second round started...

Been away for a few days. Bought a new house and spent the past few days moving in, so was without internet ...

Will match up next round tonight.

http://www.haughtbk.com/ozonetourney.html <---- Round Two assignments are now made!

All players assigned as white, please issue a challenge to your opponent. And please set the forfeit time out to 7 days!

Matchings are now being made by win/loss records. I've attempted to switch colors for everyone, but WebShaman and myself were stuck with the same colors as last time.

benev bowed out of the tournament and Dark filled the vacated slot. Is everyone else still hanging in there?

Report back here at your convenience with a link to your game page so that I can add them to my tournament page.

Let me know if I made any glaring errors.

Let's Play!!

Challenge sent to Massacre.

BeeKay, I beat Skaarjj, so I should have a point, eh?

DAMN ... Total glaring error!! Hold on folks ... gotta do a little rearranging.

damn damn damn ...

OK let's try this again. Now everybody is playing a new color this round. Check out the tournament page for your matchups.

Sorry about the screwup WJ. You are now playing WebShaman. You can go ahead and play the game against Massacre (and it won't be a tournament game) or ask him to cancel it. Once again, sorry!

Any more stupid mistakes?

My game with WebShaman is round 2. Okay by me, BeeKay.

Turns out I didn't challenge Massacre. Somehow my challenge went to davedar49 (9646). No clue how that happened.

Yeah wj the heat is on! Woohooo!

Ok I sent my challege invite out to Dark, one of us will let you know the game page when ever he responds to the challege.

I was white in my last match, so that mean you get white dark.

I'll be waiting see ya soon...

Is someone going to update this http://www.sashadesign.com/chess/ ? That would be nice...

I challenge thee Skaarjj!

But I can't send you the challenge unless you turn on the 'accept personal challenges'.

I'll update http://www.sashadesign.com/chess/ today evening. Sorry for the delay, but I wasn't sure who is playing who.

Dark (Kriek) vs Synthetic (Xtrae)

Dark

http://www.sashadesign.com/chess/ updated.

Just a suggestion. Whoever lost his game in round 1 should resign his game.

Maninacan...hey maninacan...
You ready to play some chess??

Let's get this game movin'

mobrul

Argh, shit. Just a note for you all, never start a game with Sash while also working on another project! All my lovely pawns have gone off to pawn-heaven, and I miss them already.

Still, never say die, that's what I say! Good for me I'm a stubborn bastard, I may need those attributes for this game, heh.

Your pal, -doc-



[This message has been edited by DocOzone (edited 05-23-2002).]

Heh. Doc's other project is thrashing me. Bleh!

Ahh...good WJ, you'll now have more time to concentrate on our game...

Looks like Doc is the man to beat...can't wait until our match-up...too bad the other one was dropped...

well, sorry for the 5 day leave, but at least I warned you. I couldn't get off my last move before leaving, but now I check-mated moaiz and am ready for my next opponent if there are any left.

kewl

Mad Scientist

Welcome back maninacan. You need to challenge mobrul, you are playing white. Issue the challenge and get the battle started!

Games that have not begun yet:

Veneficuz v skaarjj -- any status here folks?

BeeKay v massacre -- I issued a challenge to massacre. Is massacre around?

adrock v moaiz -- any status here folks?

Looks like everyone else is off and running. Maybe towards the end of next week we'll declare winners in the games that haven't started based on no-shows. So if you are here and waiting for an opponent to do something, then please sound off so that I know you are around.

Everyone still having fun?

Yeah, it's fun seeing WJ sweat...sweat, baby, sweat!

Actually, it's a pretty good game...and he's actually managing to cause me problems...that's the sort of game that I enjoy...makes the taste of victory all the more sweeter...

Same as last time... Skaarjj doesn't want private challenges so I can't challenge him

Skaarjj, nope, just checked your page. You still have a "no" under "accept private challenges"

If you are having troubles getting it turned on, then just issue a challenge to Veneficuz (just make sure to set yourself up as playing black).

Lol!! Skaarjj is having troubles getting 'turned on'....I think he needs a bit of Viagra...

shaddup WS.... someone needs a visit from the 8 foot tall alien....

Hmm... viagra and chess. Why does that bring up all sorts of horrific images?

Anyway, I've been checking in on some of the games, and it looks like it would be fun. It's obviously too late for me to jump in now, but next time you have a tournament I'd be up for it. I'd most likely be slaughtered, but that's cool.

Lol!! Getting trampled in chess is much better than shock treatments...esp. when I am doing the trampling...

And I wonder why I had to stop coming here... Everytime I drop in there is a new way to wast my companies money and time... I love this place... Awsome job on the new interface Doc.
