[KeeganTheFox]

I enjoy thoroughly!

[kamoh]

I enjoy thoroughly!Rather expansive it be necessarily.

Just for everyone, that bracket means quite a few games, but it's nothing different from the DE's we've done in the past - plus, I have no deadlines except for the final one. Reporting will be critical, unfortunately, but there exists a good combination between good play and active participation.

Plus, there's gonna be a lot of byes in that first round...

I'll create a basic schedule shortly - again, if you're used to the old double-eliminations we used to do, you'll understand this pretty quickly.

The grand final (if we ever get to it) will be a 3-game match, with the undefeated player needing only 1.5 points to win, the X-1 player needing 2.0 points.

RULES:
2-game matches. Tiebreakers used if match ends tied. Alternate colors, with the high seed as white in odd-numbered games. Regular games use 12/12 clocks. Tiebreakers use 6/6 clocks.
Undo Turn may only be used to fix slips of the finger. Previous rules for disconnects and abandoned matches will be employed. Using computer assistance will result in permanent ejection from the OCRCL.
To report an unavailable or reluctant player, send a PM to me (kamoh) and explain the situation clearly and carefully. A report lasting 2 days or more will result in a 2-0 victory for the reporting player. You may play provisional matches to decide possible future matchups.

DOUBLE-ELIMINATION SCHEDULE
Reading the schedule: All matches are listed as if the higher seed advances. If an upset occurs, the two players switch seedings. A player's next match is the next game listed in which their seed appears.
Matches in green are "winner's bracket" matches. Winners continue with green matches, losers drop to playing red matches. Matches in red are "loser's bracket" matches. Winners continue with red matches, losers are eliminated and given placement.
The Tournament Champion is the player who has completed the most rounds of the bracket. Tiebreaker is current seeding.

[Rainman DX]

A fifty move debacle leads to a draw for game 1 with Bahamut.

We'll play game #2 this evening.

[Nineko]

Fine, I report that Xloning noob because he is never online and if he is online he doesn't reply.

[Nemitor_Atimen]

I dont like this bracket

#1 vs. #19

I predict the odds of me winning at 0.000000001%

[kamoh]

How do you mean you don't like it?

[dPaladin]

I won both games against grayfox. He was doing fine in the first one, but he shot himself in the foot around move 17 by losing his queen. I ended up getting to where I was two moves out of an unavoidable checkmate, but yahoo wouldn't let me move to the appropriate spot, so I made that last move instead and he graciously forfeited.

As for the second game, you know... that's the power of pawns.

I'll be in New Mexico for the bowl game until tomorrow (Saturday) night. Please continue to play games and everything, and I'll update stuff when I'm back.

Dama, we'll figure out our match soon - I would have been fighting for the draw, I know that.

[JohnderriLLL]

whos up for a game im or pm me

[dPaladin]

2-0 with Fionn. I also chatted with him a little. Pretty cool dude. I managed to avoid hating him even though he sings tenor. I'd been playing chess for a few hours and I was really on the ball for these games:

I'm on ESPN2 right now somewhere.

I'm on 134340 right now somewhere.

[kamoh]

Damathacus has reported me.
~Jessica~ is on the cusp of reporting me and Dama.
I report them back! Ha ha ha!

Anyways, I should be online almost all DAY tomorrow.

[JohnderriLLL]

im putting (4) on report who ever is in line is reported.

[Bahamut]

So...Rainman, where are yoooooooou. December 28th and the 29th are both busy days, and possibly the 30th and 31st for me too (NYC meetup, and I have two lady friends to...entertain).

Pfft. I'm not falling for that. We all know you're a good Christian boy. I on the other hand do have a lady to entertain tomorrow night, and by entertain, I mean removal of clothing is intended. So, yeah. I can't play tomorrow at all. Kamoh where are you? I'm online and ready.

Damn you, spoiling all my fun! :( But it would mean that I'd be out of commission because I'd be spending time with close friends.

It does sound like your holiday season is better than mine, on the whole. I'm working every day this week, and what's more, I have to, because I'm in hock with Visa over all my Xmas shopping. It'll be nice to graduate and stop spending 80% of my time on something that not only doesn't pay me, but costs me a substantial amount of money. The life of a poor student. Prolonged adolescence. Meh.

I've actually been stuck this break studying for most of the time so far - it sucks. My fun time is starting to come though so that's good. I spent most of my night and early afternoon dealing with those god forsaken spam bots though :( .

He forewent finishing game one, where he would have been playing for the draw, so the score is 2-0 for me and I advance to play . . . someone else. But not today. Or tomorrow.

And all of you PAY ATTENTION TO THIS (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=98366). Good for me, bad for you, especially bad for Bahamut.

[dPaladin]

Name changed. Also, /report Loning.

[kamoh]

I'm still keeping your icon as something fire-themed.

By the way, everyone, if you want to use a different icon than your avatar (when the league starts up again), that's fine with me. Bahamut, Rainman, and I are currently being represented with our school logos.

P.S. You also need an AIM account.

Well I'm here now, and Jessica doesn't appear to be idle, but I'm not getting any response. I guess no one's home. I'll stick around for a bit, but if we don't get to play tonight, I'll be back again this time tomorrow.

it is only an illusion.

[damathacus]

Well, I showed up when I said I would, again. I've been waiting online here for about two and a half hours, again. Jessica's not responding to my messages, again. I received some messages from earlier today because I left aim on before I left for work, but no response to the messages I've sent since arriving home.

I'll be back again tomorrow night, just after nine, North American Central Standard Time. Approximately 21.5 hours from the time of this post. I'll check online for her and I'll play her if she's around. But I'll be spending New Year's Eve with my lady friend, so if we don't catch up tomorrow, I don't know when we're gonna get this done. For this reason, as of right now, I'm reporting Jessica. So she'd better show up soon.

[~Jessica~]

I'm counter reporting you sorry. I'm online much more than you are, but hey I can't be home everyyyy day. Tommorow is a really really bad time. NYE.

[salaxzar]

uh, report+counter report -> this might end up with each of you getting a point each ...

Just wanted to share a game i played against some guy in advanced lounge (yahoo chess). He had a rating of 2400 - and i was absolutely sure he was using some chess program (W:200~ L:2 D:10) making moves in exact 5 second intervals-even tho some moves which should take just 2-3 seconds and some require much more.(even though he said he was an IM at the end,meh).

As you have it with conventional chess programs(assuming), they dont know the meaning of maintaining an initiative. The following game illustrates that.I've played this line a lot in my school days.

Typical thoroughly analyzed nimzo-indian, offbeat b5 variation.Pretty much all the starting 11 moves are forced here.White only hopes for a good endgame in this. For the majority of the game i was trying to prevent the 'a' pawn push.
Analysis of this game follows after the moves.

Ok- so in the beginning - Following the KISS (Keep it simple stupid) principle. Knight on d6 had to go asap,I was just lookin to recapture the pawn on c4.

I wouldve agreed to a draw around move 30 but i had a nagging suspicion that if my opponent was using a chess prog. he wouldnt aware of the fact that whites central pawns are crucial. Watch move no. 33 where he seals his fate by g5!? clearing the path for my d and e pawns.

The ensuing battle was more for space,i actually spent 2 min thinking about move # 52. Rb6!(threatening a backrank mate-Ne4 etc.)-this forces a rook exchange later on simplifying the position.
Must say one of the most satisfying games ive had whole month.

I'm speeding things up. Reports have been assessed, and I've given Rainman losses cause of Gator Bowl commitments (I assume he's in Florida). Most games have been advanced a fair way, and JD will play salaxzar for the probable title - unless they don't play, and my reports all go through...which they probably will...and I'd win ;)

Jessica is also sitting out there with a long way advanced, and will play the winner of Keegan/Bahamut, if that match gets finished.

EDIT: BTW you all have 10 hrs, 8 mins to finish the tournament.
