In regards to recruiting, I think you all need to ask yourselves a simple question:

WWJDD?

[damathacus]

Guess it'll be a mini-tourney, but I'm still in. Call it a warm-up, maybe?

[kamoh]

Alright alright fun kids

Play your assigned opponents twice (once as white, once as black).

Use 10/15 clocks.

You may play one game unscheduled (called a halfmatch). Decide on a color with your opponent.

Wins = 5 points, Draws = 3 points, Losses = 1 point.

Losses will only account for up to 20% of the maximum score.

Halfmatches will only account for up to 20% of the maximum score.

I'm in by the way as shown by the table above. aim is darkstar316741

[Rainman DX]

Hmm... yes... is this more like what you were going for, Kamoh?

Hi everyone! Just wanted to pop my head in and bookmark the thread.

While I'm here, I'll go ahead and state my intentions to join next week, if that's acceptable. Finals this week, then I'm free from a crazy semester. I look forward to throwing my weight around some more.

Also, I'll go ahead and see if I can contact JD to find out what's stopping him from playing some too.

Alright? See y'zall next weex.

[eppy]

J.D. apparently doesn't have internet anymore. Dunno why.

[damathacus]

I graduated. Today is my last day as a university student. Officially, as far as the school is concerned, I'm done. In one hour and 50 minutes I will cease to be a student, and will magically metamorphose into a full-fledged teacher. I'm going to work tomorrow, to teach, just like I have every day for the last five weeks, and during three practicum blocks before that, but tomorrow, tomorrow, I actually get a paycheque.

And now that I'm only subbing part-time, not prepping, I officially have free time again. Are we ready to start now? We got (some of) the old gang together, let's play some chess.

[Nemitor_Atimen]

Im back! Kinda.

Just Pidgin was released, and it works with Vista, and that means that I have AIM again.

I'll probably rejoin, i need to stretch my strategic brain again before I lose my edge.

[kamoh]

I haven't got the scores updated yet but there's only one game played, so I have 5 points and dP has 1.

The bypass rule is in effect this time around, and I'd rather use that than reports.

[Nemitor_Atimen]

1 game = 5 points?

bypass rule?

explain please. Unfortunately, I don't have time to search through old threads to find the answer.

[kamoh]

1 game = 5 points?

bypass rule?

explain please. Unfortunately, I don't have time to search through old threads to find the answer.

I've moved the scoring to 5-3-1 for two reasons:

1) Losing every game OR winning only halfgames will only get you 20% of your maximum score.

2) 3-2-1 is a little too loss-heavy of a system - I think this is just a little tweak that helps out quite a bit.

Bypass:

If you cannot find your own scheduled opponent, you may play their OTHER opponent, bypassing them completely (you can also bypass those players until you violate some other rule). Those games will only be validated at the end of the week.

Margoute dominated me but I fought back hard. I had forgotten the safety word.

Good games.

[margoute]

Those were beautiful games, and both sides were gaining and losing advantage during the game. dPaladin is a tough opponent, and I was not sure about the outcome until the very end in both games. Great games, thank you dPaladin

[damathacus]

Two wins vs. mechasonic.

Two losses from eppy.

[kamoh]

[salaxzar]

oi, im back in action for the next couple of weeks. I apoligize for my absence ^^ Kamoh and keegs pm me whenever im on so we could get our games goin.

[kamoh]

I got a flukey win in a realatively short halfmatch game where Nemo had the upper hand until the last three moves, and a breakdown on my end went my way. I got my rook to uncover a target spot behind the kingside castle and he just didn't see it in time.

Great game Nemo
