Just edited the last post. Thx

Cheese beat Jamny rd1

Good game. I look forward to a rematch.

 

[SacramentoBob]

I do think we need to change the name of the thread because we did this before a couple years back. This is actually the 2nd official FFA chess tournament. Let's not disparage the pioneers.

Fair warning, IIRC, kutta said he used to be a Class A/Class B player in HS.

 

[Witz]

Game between brownsfan and myself is going on currently.

Yeah, didn't take me long to catch on to this.

For the record, that was a looooong time ago. It's been quite awhile since I've played "for real."

We have a very good and interesting game going right now.

 

[shader]

OK, here's what I got. The following games have been completed:

RajinCajun vs. Joe T (0-1)

wdcrop vs. Otis (1/2-1/2)

Pizzatyme vs. nysfl2 (0-1)

Ray Karpis vs. spOOfy (0-1)

Geezil vs. Joffer (0-1)

Jamny vs. Cheese (0-1)

These games are confirmed as currently in progress:

timschochet vs. Matsuki- Matsuki disappeared on Saturday after complaining. Matsuki, please confirm you are going to finish.

Unialias vs. Kutta

Steve Tasker vs. Shotsup

And I have no idea if these games have started or not:

Abraham vs. BoomBoom

Mister CIA vs. Rascal

Witz vs. Brownsfan

Green and Gold vs. Bogart

Shader vs. AferFC Shader, I still don't know what your Chess Time name is

Psychopav vs. Otello

Please confirm here if these games are underway, or if not what the hold up is so that we can move forward from here. TIA.

oh crap sorry tim.

chess time name is shader.

 

[Psychopav]

We've begun our game.

 

[otello]

We've begun our game.

 

[Bogart]

Bogart = Bowlin on chess time.

G&G I didn't get your invite, will send you one.

G&G, did you get my invite?

 

[BoomBoom]

Waiting for Abraham to start and send invite for our game.

 

[timschochet]

Apologies to everyone waiting. The first round is always going to take longest because some of the people who signed up may flake. There was also the weekend and MLK day. If by Wednesday morning your game hasn't started, I'm going to reorganize the people left into a smaller group.

 

[Green and Gold]

Bogart = Bowlin on chess time.

G&G I didn't get your invite, will send you one.

G&G, did you get my invite?

I declined it and I invited you, since tim has me playing white.

 

[Psychopav]

So basically whoever sends the invite is white - is that right?

 

[Bogart]

Bogart = Bowlin on chess time.

G&G I didn't get your invite, will send you one.

Accepted.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Pizzatyme vs. nysfl2 (0-1)

Ray Karpis vs. spOOfy (0-1)

Geezil vs. Joffer (0-1)

Jamny vs. Cheese (0-1)

Black is +5 -0 =1 right now? Damn.

 

[AAABatteries]

So to knock some rust off I played some today. Playing a really interesting match with someone off and on today. Finally the guy says - "a wild guess ... u wont play E5*D4 cos ur computer chess program doesnt recommend it? are ya desperate 4 points?". I reply (honestly) that I'm not using a program. I choose a different move than what he suggests. He sits there for a while so finally I tell him I'm not using a program but rather just haven't played in a while. He immediately resigns. WTF.

This crap is why I've avoided playing. That and I suck.

ETA - forgot to mention that he then proceeded to put me on ignore

 

[Mr. Pickles]

E5*D4 cos ur

Excel thread?

 

[AAABatteries]

E5*D4 cos ur

Excel thread?

He was Irish.

 

[Mister CIA]

My match with Rascal is underway. We running a little behind perhaps, just played move eleven (Nigel Tufnel opening).

 

[timschochet]

All games are confirmed finished or in progress except:

Abraham vs. BoomBoom

Shader vs. AcerFC

If these games are in progress, please let me know.

Also, I am still waiting for Matsuki to return. If he does not by Wednesday, then I will play AAA Batteries for round 1.

 

[kutta]

I want to say that my game is taking entirely too long due entirely to me. UniAlias has been very responsive. I have not.

Just got back from the hockey game with my wife so hopefully we can move it along a little quicker.

No worries at all. I think we're moving along at a decent enough pace.

I do like the pace. It's nice to have some time to think about things.

 

[Abraham]

Sorry. Just saw that we started. Me and boom boom starting now.

 

[Witz]

brownsfan with the win over me.

Nice first game!

 

[timschochet]

White is 0-6-1 so far.

 

[SacramentoBob]

White is 0-6-1 so far.

Fitting for MLK day.

 

[shader]

Shader beats AcerFC round 1

 

[timschochet]

Updated.

AAA Batteries, I think Matsuki has quit. Do you want to play me?

 

[timschochet]

AAA has accepted my challenge. Matsuki is out of the tournament.

 

[AAABatteries]

Tim - check PMs.

 

[BoomBoom]

My battle with Abraham should be done by tonight.

 

[kutta]

Damn. UniAlias hanging tough.

 

[rascal]

My match with Rascal is underway. We running a little behind perhaps, just played move eleven (Nigel Tufnel opening).

Sorry, went to the ER sunday during the Broncos game and then had surgery yesterday. I'm feeling better today and should start playing tonight when I get home.

yeah, just trying to get over it. It was lithotripsy as I had a 8mm kidney stone stuck. They had to leave a stint between my kidney/bladder which, along with the feeling that I'm pissing razor blades, leaves me avoiding the bathroom. I "woke up" during the middle of the surgery (don't remember thank God), so they had to give me an extra dose of whatever and i've been foggy all day.

Man, I wish I was playing you instead of Otello right now.

[BoomBoom]

BoomBoom defeats Abraham. Hard fought battle.

 

[UniAlias]

I lost to Kutta. Really great game though. One of the most enjoyable I've played so far. He's really good.

 

[kutta]

Agreed. Really fun game. Every time I thought I had you, you pulled another trick out of your bag. You really hung tough for a long time. Great game.

[Abraham]

Nice game by boom boom. I screwed up and didn't see when my rook (I thinks, might have been a knight) got exposed and that was that. Can't survive mistakes like that.

He's kicking my ### with ease at the moment. I pity you fools that have to face him after recovery is complete.

My game with Shotsup will be over in 2 moves or less...

 

[Psychopav]

We're still in midgame, but moving along. We'll be done in a day or two I expect.

There doesn't appear to be a way to resign in the android app, is there?
