He'd update the table that's what.

[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!)

[dPaladin]

I lost hard in the mouth to Keegan twice.

But I kind of enjoyed it.

[Bahamut]

Won 2 vs dpaladin.

[JohnDriLLL]

i lost to keegean 2 times WWJDD?

[kamoh]

I did a halfassed job, but here it is:

[dPaladin]

I'm off work today. Let's go!

[shikigami]

agressive pawn is agressive

[JohnDriLLL]

2 draws with salazar

[dPaladin]

A loss and a draw to Kamoh, who is playing quite well now.

But I got a loss and a super surprise win against JD, so I feel better.

[kamoh]

[JohnDriLLL]

2-0 vs ferice klashnol

[kamoh]

[dPaladin]

2-0 against Koi.

[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 #@!#@#$!

- @JD 2900 calories today xD [burp!]

[Bahamut]

Bahamut wins 2 vs kamoh.

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

Just want to let everyone know that the first round deadline is in two weeks (yeah we've got quite a lot of time left). Bring in new people for the registration deadline (one week) if you really wanna get some more games in...
