OverClocked ReMix Chess League

[damathacus]

I think that we'll have the tri-series idea come into play in a couple weeks (probably replacing week 12 or 13).

I'd love to see team-play in action, mainly to see if it would actually work as the normal way of doing things in the OCRCL - a while back I had the idea to split the league up into 4-6 teams of 4-6 players each, and while the idea really didn't fly with a lot of people, I thought it would be a very interesting way of developing the league and might encourage more participation. I'm a team-sports kinda guy first and think that, with team play, everyone gets a legitimate chance at winning a tournament.

And not by pity or butt-kissing (thanks for the hoilday tournament title, everyone )

I think that sounds like a lot of fun, but I think the teams should be swapped out once in awhile, rather than being permanent. Maybe we could even do trades, like in pro sports?

[Rainman DX]

yarr...

okay, Keegan battens down the hatches and nails me in my coffin with two devastating wins, followed by a win over Setz and a perfunctory resignation of game 2. In summary,

Rainman DX vs. Keegan the Fox, 0-2.

Rainman DX vs. Setz, 2-0.

And, uh, anybody know how to get colors on vBulletin?

There's a colour drop down thingy, unless you need to switch editors (button in the upper right of the reply window)

Week 10 schedules are now posted.

Week 9 business:

KeeganTheFox won the week with 16 points, also the maximum score. This is like the fifth time Keegan has won a week since the league format, and the second time he's gone 100%.

Nemitor_Atimen was charged one point to ~Jessica~ for failure to play a reported match while playing his other opponent. Three points could have been charged but were dropped because Nemo was online enough to answer to a match request, and because the second game between Nemo and Salaxzar went unplayed. A final report point through salaxzar was not charged because of the one game that was actually played.

Bahamut was charged one point to John DerriLLL and LongeBane each for failure to play reported matches. Four points could have been charged but were dropped because Bahamut appeared online and responsive, and JD and Clef could have simply played eachother.

Rainman DX returned in time to play Week 9 games and did so under my supervision. He remains on the active schedule.

Arek The Absolute was bypassed by dPaladin 2-0 Fionn, and was dropped from the active schedule.

Margoute was dropped from the active schedule.

jeff_loves_chess_too_much and ResEvil07 were added to the active schedule.

[salaxzar]

*bump* wtf i couldnt even find this thread. ooo, i thought i reported nemo for game 2,or maybe not. hmm nvm. gl for week 2.

Thanks again, kamoh, for letting me squeeze those games in.

I dropped your report, since there was ample opportunity to play Nemo, I only gave jessica a point as restitution for not playing one game like you did. I'm very stingy with reports - you're not going to get many report points AT ALL.

[JohnDriLLL]

whos up for a challange match

[salaxzar]

Keegan and i had 2 tough games. 1.5-0.5

Game # 1,[Me as white] he kept the position quite closed and came up with Nb6 on the blacks side of the catalan on move 9. Game went along and the struggle for space ensued. Im not quite sure yet where he went wrong.Im too tired to fully analyze it from move #46 although i can say for sure that i think black missed Bxh4 on move 50 followed by 2 menacing passed pawns on the king side.IF someone has a powerful chess program like fritz 9 or 10 and is willing to analyze this game with me, ill be real happy.Too tired right now. After forcing a queen exchange,i was quite confident then.

Game #2,[as black]an 'atypical' kings indian position. He never quite let me realize blacks plan to attack on the king side. I made careless positional errors of developing quite strangely i think and never quite breaking the center early on.I had no counterplay whatsoever and barely managed to hold onto a draw.Funny thing was my knight on d5 looked nice but was infact quite dormant,almost all my play in the midgame was centered around my pawns on c6 & b6.lol. Very well played.gg

[kamoh]

Loss, Win vs. Grayfox9996 - he got me with a sly little move in Game 1 after I got disconnected, but I had him with sheer material advantage in Game 2.

LongeBane's report on Bahamut has been removed - apparently they tried playing last week.

Snerrak has left the active roster, which, in tandem with the above, has little effect.

Fire royally fucked me over after about the 40th move of each game.
