[Aerial Assault]

Andy defeats me easily.  Just a far superior player.  Nice job.  

 

[timschochet]

Just waiting on the first game now...

 

[Juxtatarot]

Just waiting on the first game now...

34 moves in.  We've been moving slowly.  Equal material still.  Might be another draw.

Update? 

 

[SacramentoBob]

Update? 

I think we're on move 35 now.

 

[Aerial Assault]

There's really no rush as far as I know

 

[Juxtatarot]

@timschochet We're actually up to 53. 

 

[Juxtatarot]

We've finished. Draw.

 

[timschochet]

OK. Last round coming up...

 

[timschochet]

I want to thank everybody involved for sticking with the tournament through round 6. This is the first time that's happened.

[timschochet]

Apologies to anyone who did not get to be white at least 3 times. I end up having the most trouble with this, and while I'm able to do it for most players, there are a few who always seem to lose out.

It's been hard for me not to bail. Bunch of ####### cheaters in here man.

Are you joking or do you really think that?

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Are you joking or do you really think that?

I think they've hacked the app in a conspiracy against me. It's shameful.

I appreciate the bump but I only have 2 points.

I was wondering how you do this, actually . . .?  I have no idea if I played white three times and don't really care, but just curious as to your methodology.  PS, next time out, keeping me from playing both andy and kutta in a third straight tourney would be madly appreciated

Eff that.  I vote AA gets them twice each.

I just look at how many times you play white and black and try to keep it even that's all. 

As far as who you play, round 1 is randomly chosen, but after that you get paired against somebody close to your score.

Gotcha.

And my comment about who I played was a just a very small joke.

Cool that it's come down to a photo finish for the win.

[Juxtatarot]

Kind of funny.  Out of 344 matches on Chess Time, I have only 24 draws.  In this tournament, 3 out of my 5 matches have ended in draws.

 

[shuke]

Invite sent but I won't be able to play much next few days. 

 

[Aerial Assault]

scoobus and I are playing. 

 

[kutta]

Apologies to anyone who did not get to be white at least 3 times. I end up having the most trouble with this, and while I'm able to do it for most players, there are a few who always seem to lose out.

Thanks for running this Tim. You always do a great job with the matchups and keeping things going. Much appreciated.

 

[Aerial Assault]

Scoobus defeats AA, making not one mistake in 50 moves.  Truly amazing.  I'm humbled. 

Certainly enjoyed the front half of this tourney more than the back.  Thanks, tim, for organizing!!  Nice job and congrats to all the winners!

 

[Aerial Assault]

Oh, and anyone wanting a game shoot me an invite on CT if you don't mind making it for two days.  I'm in the middle of almost 20 games right now.  

 

[Juxtatarot]

20?!  I can only play a few at a time.  More than that and I start forgetting what I have planned and what traps I have to avoid.

 

[Aerial Assault]

20?!  I can only play a few at a time.  More than that and I start forgetting what I have planned and what traps I have to avoid.

Yeah.  I just keep adding opponents whom I enjoy playing.  And you're right; I do the same thing you mentioned.  But I find it challenging, if also frustrating because I drop games I shouldn't.
