I challenged my opponent last night but it looks like he’s supposed to challenge me.  So far he hasn’t accepted though so we’re right on track.

 

[Juxtatarot]

Sorry, was swamped yesterday.  I accepted and just crushed my first move.

I'm supposed to be white.  I cancelled and we'll try again.  Alas, your crushing move is all for naught.  However, I might just use that move against you.  Or maybe that was your plan all along. Hmm...

There is a "switch sides" button that can be used before the first move.

Or maybe you did this "by accident" to get recon on my tactics; taking advantage of my naivety.  I'm calling shenanigans!

 

[AAABatteries]

I'm supposed to be white. 

Michael Jackson alias?

AAABatteries defeats shader 0-1

done.  sorry for the delay.

 

[Zow]

done.  sorry for the delay.

All good... because now I gotta delay on you a bit. Work is going to keep me busy for most of the day today but I should be able to start tonight. 

 

[Ned]

How does the next round work with 9 games going now?  There's going to be someone without a game.

 

[joffer]

it's not really a bracket, more of a ladder.  each round will have 9 matches

Tim does a nice job of matching people up based on how they have fared. He'll have winners play winners, somewhat judge people based on their Class and who they beat/lost to, and so on and so forth. 

 

[Zow]

Right it's not a bracket at all. More like a weighted round robin.

I examine all the games. If you bore me or I just don’t like you, I may eliminate you from the next round. If you’re really really bad I get to play you next.

See you next round GB.

Tim still using engine assistance or no?

 

[IMAX 3D]

They say my chess games should be more interesting. I could be more interesting — and also lose. 

Your chess games are fall asleep and zugzwang your opponents into frustration and annoying. I bet youd play the Stonewall Dutch nowadays if you were alive
