OVERCLOCKED REMIX CHESS TOURNAMENT

JUNE 2007

For those of you who remember the June 2006 tournament, this will be the ultimate revival. Even though my interest is certainly waning, I'd like to recommit to OCR Chess. I think that this was one of our most successful tournaments last year, and it'd certainly be nice to see something like it happen again...so, here are the rules:

TO JOIN, post your AIM screen name in this thread.

Registration ends Sunday, June 10th @ 13:43:40 Pacific Time.

Wins = 3 pts, Draws = 2 pts, Losses = 1 pt.

10/15 clocks, one game only, color is irrelevant.

PHASE ONE - ENDS Sunday, June 17th @ 13:43:40 Pacific Time.

"Round-Robin," play everyone else ONCE.

PHASE TWO - ENDS Sunday, June 24th @ 13:43:40 Pacific Time.

"Round-Robin," involving the top 5 or 6 players from Phase One.

PHASE THREE

Single-game playoff final between the top 2 players from the Phase Two.

GOOD LUCK!

HAVE FUN!

I've usually been pretty good about getting my games done, so I'm sorry I said I would play this last month and proceeded to barely be around. I hope I'll do better this time. I probably won't be able to play much when I'm in China since my sleep schedule will be opposite everyone else's. (But maybe I'll play Dr. Wily.)

I saw the rook. And thought.

Then I moved the queen. In the path of the rook.

Then he took the queen, then he took everything else, since the queen was holding my entire defense together. It was almost like I subconciously let him wipe out my entire defenses, and gave him my queen.

It was terrible.

Update: dama continues to hold the lead, with more than twice as many points as the next leading player, and an equal number of points to the rest of the players added together, excluding his nearest competition. He's held this position for over a week now, and the competition appears to be quickly drawing to a close.

Is it not time for the finals now?

Finals bracket:

(4) Keegan vs. (5) Deductive Dave

(2) dPaladin vs. (3) Bahamut

(1) damathacus vs. (4/5)

(1/4/5) vs. (2/3) Final

If your opponent is MIA, just bypass them and play someone else along the line.

You have one week to finish these matches.

Righty-o. I think I should win by forfeit.

Damn, I forgot about this...I'm going to be out for the whole weekend for VGL though, so no chess till Monday night for me.

Alright, makes sense for you guys.

I'm going to start a double elimination tournament now, but it'll have a registration phase.
