OK I will wait until tomorrow but otherwise we will go with 12.

 

[timschochet]

All right there’s been no more additions after we reached 12 so that’s what we’ll go with. If someone wants to join after Round 1 begins they’re welcome to do so.

I will post round 1 pairings shortly.

[AAABatteries]

Sand and AAA are underway and already reached a point where one of us will blunder epically

 

[Captain Cranks]

Wow, this Chess Time is something else.

 

[Dezbelief]

Scoobus and I are underway.

[tri-man 47]

We’re about to have our first result.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

We’re about to have our first result.

In a stroke of luck, Nick defeats tri-man. GG.

An interesting game: Nick successfully launched an aggressive early attack …only to find I had his queen trapped in a corner and on serious life support. But he pulled off a stunner - he used a castling move as a key offensive tactic to immediately bail out his queen, trap my queen, and set up the ensuing checkmate. Well played, sir, well played.

 

[Dezbelief]

Scoobus wins. My naked king was beat by two queens. No word on if he liked it or not.

 

[AAABatteries]

Sand v. AAA (0-1)

 

[Sand]

Sand v. AAA (0-1)

What I thought was my blunder wasn't the blunder, but I made one a couple moves later. And, of course, I never realized the blunder, which tells you how bad I am at this game. Two pawns up for AAA was more than enough to crush me with pretty much flawless play.

 

[shuke]

Is Woz is around right now, I will attempt to finish this game high. It can only make me better.

 

[Captain Cranks]

Cranks beats Psychopav. Good game after we both blundered a minor piece.

Good game Cranks. I had a chance to get back in it but blew it with my rook. Well done, you deserved to win after I blew the opening

Thanks, gb. I was a little concerned after I blundered my knight and you seized the momentum.

Ha I was on prescribed painkillers Friday. High now.

You started out pretty solidly so maybe you should play more high.

Not to brag, but I'm absolutely deadly playing pool buzzed.

Chess, not so much.

Same. Pool, golf, beer pong... get me a buzz.

Chess though it goes downhill fast.

 

[timschochet]

@Bogart
everything OK? You haven’t made a move in about 48 hours.

Also I’m confused here. Is this game over or still going on?

They are seeing who can be high longer.

And, then, one of them said he made a forking move and now they can’t stop giggling.
