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

[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!)

[Bahamut]

Won 2 vs dpaladin.

[JohnDriLLL]

[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 #@!#@#$!

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
