Total Shukie

Cranks and I drew. I ended up with a queen and he had three pass pawns. Best I could do is keep him in perpetual check. GG!

Yeah, another game, another queen blunder! This time, shuke made a nice move with a knight …I got so caught up in the beauty of his move, which protected two pawns and a rook, I neglected to see that the move exposed my queen to his bishop. I kind of suck at this.

he's buttering you up for a major beatdown. Don't fall for it. Cheers on your victory.

Not at all. I don’t like seeing anyone go 0-6 in these tournaments. I did that in a tournament once, a live one, and it was super depressing to me. So I hate to see anyone else go through that and I was honestly happy that you won.

I know that too, just keeping things lively.

@BlackCrowes beat me with some great endgame play. 0-1

Thanks. This might be my last one, though. I feel like my match is the last one to finish each round. Thanks for hosting these.

Waiting on one final game:
@Zow vs @Nick Vermeil

If Zow wins or draws he is sole champion. If he loses he shares the championship with @BlackCrowes Chaz and I tie for 3rd place.

Sorry, and Nick Vermeil will also tie for 2nd place with Chaz and myself if he defeats Zow.

Me and Nick are moving along in the middle game. He started out well and got the bishop pair (two bishops, what else?) but I just snagged a pawn.

I’m trying guys, but Zow is pretty good at this game.

Gentlemen's draw after I got up a pawn and the board seemed to set up for a bunch of exchanges.

Nick, I thought you played the opening super well. I'm not a huge queen's gambit player and I think I screwed up by giving you the bishop pair and moving my queen out (I though it'd give me a tempo advantage) but I conceded the pair and had to maneuver my queen the next couple of moves anyway.

Congrats to @Zow who has once more triumphed with a clear 1st place finish. All of the final standings are in the third post.

Thanks to everyone for making this run so smoothly. I will have another one of these in January.
