Re: Chess thread?

Mini-tournament tonight anyone? Register interest here. If there is enough, I will organise something and it will probably start 10ish.

Re: Chess thread?

Yeah I might as well. My concentration will be gone by 10 but who cares- it'll be fun (just don't match me with seanie or demento in Round 1 :D)

Re: Chess thread?

Okay, make an account at lichess.org with username pretty similar to your BoS one so I know who is who. Will start this in about 10-15 mins.

Re: Chess thread?

Matches will consist of two 10min a side games, one as white one as black. I will tell you who you are versing in your next match, you report the scores back to me as soon as you are done. Eg 1.5-0.5 would mean that first player won one game and the other game was a draw.

There will be an online link here shortly to the current standings.

Re: Chess thread?

I think that would be wise lol. I was thinking a tourny of 16 people and we seed the players and its like tennis where its elimination.
