ORCL - The OCR Chess League is Back! --- September/October Tournament

[kamoh]

OCRCL
OverClocked Remix Chess League
"Back to School '07" Tournament

SUIT UP!
To join the tournament, simply make a new post indicating so in this thread, AS WELL AS posting your AIM screen name (we require AIM for easy matchmaking - no other IM service will be allowed).

Let's play a little game I like to call...
We were gone for a minute but now we're back, just as good as (if not better than) ever!...Okay that's not necessarily true, but we're back, and I think that a lot of us are itching for some chess action. Whether you're a veteran who wrecked the tables last time the OCRCL was around, a lovable loser (like myself), or a newb who just wants to have some fun, the chess league is open to anyone and everyone who wishes to play. So join in!

It's going to be LE-GEN-DARY!
The OCRCL rewards players for simply engaging in battle with others, unlike cut-and-dry chess tournaments (and a lot of other games for that matter). You receive 3 points for a win, 2 points for a draw, and 1 point for a loss, so even if you aren't that great of a player, you can still take away experience...AND POINTS...from every game you play.

It's gonna be a thing!
The tournament's "Open Phase" (a "double-round-robin") begins NOW and continues for four weeks (until September 30th @ 11:59pm EDT). Registration will close one week before that deadline. During the open phase you may play each other player in the tournament twice (once as white, once as black) in order to bolster your spot on the standings table.

After the Open Phase, a number of players (determined by the number of registered players) will play a two-week double-round-robin, with the top 2 in THAT round facing off in the first-to-four-points final series. The winner is crowned OCRCL champion and will be allowed to determine the fate of the OCRCL...more on that later.

...the only weak part of my game, Bob...
Use Yahoo! Chess for league games, with 10/15 clocks and no "undo turns."
Please post all results HERE in this thread.
I update the standings with a visual table pretty regularly - it is always posted near the end of the thread.


GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN W.W.J.D.D.?

[TaVeRnErO_RuDd]

We are currently in the "Open Phase," which is open to everyone. This phase, like all others, is a "Double Round Robin" where you may play everyone else in the phase twice (once as white, once as black). You are encouraged to play, since you get a hefty amount of points even if you lose to everyone, but short of any conspiracies or collusion, nobody will be docked points for not playing.

Two games against the same opponent should, based on the 10/15 time control, take 30-60 minutes. Take this into account when sitting down to play with an opponent, as you may have to bail after game 1.

Report points awarded in this thread so I can calculate them on the (soon to be posted) standings sheet.

And you may start NOW.

[salaxzar]

Add me. I'll find time to play.

[dPaladin]

I'm at school time-and-one-half (18 credit hours), and I work full time, but somewhere in that 2.5x time I will play. I can't be the busiest one on here anyway. ;-)

[kitty]

He'd update the table that's what.

[salaxzar]

1-0 against darklordgm and 2-0 vs culturekoi - good games.

I dont know if darklord wants to count the 2nd game as he had to leave with 48 secs on the clock. Whatever he says, i dont mind replaying the 2nd game.

Edit: won the 2nd game vs keegan - very tight game, he was squeezing me as white midgame and i squeezed right back. Somehow he missed a win and im still tryin to figure out how. Lucky. (his bishop on d6 was scary!)

[dPaladin]

I lost hard in the mouth to Keegan twice.

But I kind of enjoyed it.

[Bahamut]

Won 2 vs dpaladin.

[JohnderriLLL]

i lost to keegean 2 times WWJDD?

[JohnderriLLL]

[dPaladin]

A loss and a draw to Kamoh, who is playing quite well now.

But I got a loss and a super surprise win against JD, so I feel better.

[eppy]

I'm back. Anyone who wishes to play me can do so now :)

[salaxzar]

mmmm...Metzy,can we extend the final bracket to include two more active players to encourage em? It'll make it more competitve.

We could then have a final elimination tourney with 8 players which could be easier. [ random double knockout?] - just a thought. Arghh, need sleep was awake whole night zzzzzzz #@!#@#$!

- @JD 2900 calories today xD [burp!]

[Bahamut]

Bahamut wins 2 vs kamoh.

Well the problem is that there are only about 10 players that are active, so just having six players in the second stage is quite a bit. I'm actually more considering scaling back stage 2 so that it goes a little faster (based on a rule change that takes into account total games played).

[margoute]

ok... one win against Kamoh, which actually had to be my defeat.

Kamoh improved tremendously since last time we played, and I really enjoyed the game, though I was losing.

He was a few moves from mate when I tried to sac my queen in despair and it worked (Kamoh got overconfident).

I am not proud of this game but I am posting it here for you to look through it

GGs Uranus, thank you :)

[salaxzar]

1.5-0.5 vs margy .. shes just being modest.
Second game was a draw by perpetual.

[dPaladin]

0-2 vs. Helmholz. He won in 24 moves in game 2 by sniping my uncastled king while I was trying to attack his queenside with my commonly used Reti -> QG (declined). He obviously wasn't falling for it. Very interesting game:

[salaxzar]

2-0 vs kaizoku

[kamoh]

Tonight @ 11:59 pm EDT will be the end of registration.
If two more players join in, the qualification box will be increased from 6 players to 7, so if you have friends this is the time to bring them in - you have about 7 hours.

http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/6089/imagegl6.png

[kamoh]

Registration is now over - no new players are permitted to join. Tavernero_Rudd, if he can get his act together, is still an available opponent (but has refused to get AIM or update his profile with an AIM screen name), which brings the total to 19 players. Excluding him, you have, potentially, 34 games to play. For those of you who haven't gotten any points, that means that your
final total COULD be 102 points, but just playing as much as you possibly can would get you into the current top 6 (with an 0-0-34 record, 34 points beats out the next closest 33).

I've always been one to encourage people to play, but this is always on you. Salaxzar and I both have 22 games played, and it shows. He's totally dominating, and I'm securely in the top 6 with a losing record.

You all have one week (until the stroke of October in New York City) to finish this phase, so good luck and may the best chesser not necessarily win unless he proves it.

[salaxzar]

I'm securely in the top 6 with a losing record.

Okay.

Bahamut, Eppy, Helmholz. HEED MY CALL ! Overthrow the dark seer so we may stamp him to oblivion.

Rainman, I'm going to cockblock your sleazy attempt at getting into the Top 6.

[Rainman DX]

Rainman, I'm going to cockblock your sleazy attempt at getting into the Top 6.

And here I thought you'd be proud of my come-from-behinditude.

You owe me two games, kamoh.

Rainman DX vs. Margoute, 0-1.

Rainman DX vs. Rau25dr, 0-2.

Rainman DX vs. Bahamut, 0-2.

[Bahamut]

So, I won vs Rainman 2-0, and lost 1 vs. Rau25DR

However, I motion for RAU25DR to be banned from the chess league due to incredibly poor sportsmanship - I was beaten fair and square, but the incredibly blatant poor manners and a piss poor attempt at justification of those manners combined make for a player who is not mature enough to play chess in a community such as OCR. I face enough stress from pushing myself in a tennis club & league, as well as my graduate studies in mathematics to deal with people who, quite frankly, are highly likely not older than 14.

[kamoh]

That's partly my fault, baha, since I played him before and treated him badly for lols. Of course it's his fault for not reading the rules aheads of time. But still, hopefully he reads this and does himself a better things.

EDIT: Keegan can vouch for my very fucky mood.

[Bahamut]

Still, the way him and his friend acted was out of line for any decent human being. Rainman can attest to that.

Edit: In any case, I refuse to play someone like that a second time unless there's massive convincing that he is mature enough for the internet.

[kamoh]

Still, the way him and his friend acted was out of line for any decent human being. Rainman can attest to that.

InternetS. And lol at the tag-teaming friend action, I'll take it under consideration.
Maybe a cheat? Probably not I was just going for 1 point each both games :P

I've been basically working my ass off and hanging out with my girlfriend non-stop since about Wednesday morning, so I haven't had a whole lot of time to update things or get online, but I do have tomorrow off, so I'll be available for final games and questions and etc for most of the day. I do want to make one statement regarding this whole rau situation:

1. I don't ban people.
2. Don't make me ban you!
3. Open phase deadline is tonight @ 11:59pm EDT.

you are eye & ee.

Here's the final score for the open round.
http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/34/imageon3.png

[kamoh]

And the next phase is now OPEN.

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8947/imagewh7.png

All of us but rau know what's going on here, but I'll clarify.
For the next two weeks, THIS is the tournament table, and these are all of your opponents. Just like the open phase, all the rules remain the same - with an added tiebreaker because there are so many fewer games.

This set I expect all the games to actually be played, since there's so few and everyone is so proactive. Notice how it's designed that way.

Questions come to me at any time goodnight everyone happy chessment.

[Rainman DX]

Curse you lower-tier players that were never online! I deserve better! :-x

[Soveriegn_Legend]

I'm back for those of you who remember me... regretably after some jail time for something that was entirely not my fault and a complete misunderstanding. In any case I'll have to think hard about whether or not I want to join the tournament this time... I think I did good last time but I've got work from 8:00am-3:00pm (excluding the weekends) and college from 5:30-10:30pm on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Anyways, if there's still room and I think I can spare some free time I may just join again.

[KeeganTheFox]

oh lawd I have to beat salax to win. This is gonna be hard.

[salaxzar]

I should be free in the next couple of days. Have heaps of work pending =( and all that time spent in 'WOW' isn't helping either LOL.

[dPaladin]

I lost two glorious games to Rau. He actually had to fight a bit to stop me from backrow-mating him in the first one even though I was down on material, but he eventually forked me or something and took all my pieces. I don't remember too well.

I accidentally gave him my queen in the second one so it was pretty one-sided. He did put me in check by castling, which was cool.

0-2

[KeeganTheFox]

I won, and I drawed.

Great games Rau!

On a side note, the first game was the fastest I've played yet. I had like 13 mins+ on my clock. I'm pretty proud of myself.
