OCRCL Holiday Chess Tournament

[damathacus]

Is Falchion in this thing? I haven't seen him on AIM even once.

[kamoh]

Just message him while he's away.

I'll get a new standings sheet up soon, folks, I just wanted to update you on what I am feeling about the league now...

I'm glad to see some new faces really eager to play matches - it's nice to see and maybe it means we'll have a new batch of players involved, and we can get the OCRCL back to where it was about a year and a half ago, when we started up the monthly tournaments again.

However, I am finding it harder and harder for myself to commit to even a single game, let alone a whole match. Therefore, I would like to propose the following items:

5/10 clocks

Three divisions (two games vs. everyone in division, one game vs. everyone outside). Randomly drawn in the old style I used for August 2006. This would make for at least 1/3 less games.

For some reason, my pop-up blocker keeps preventing me from using aol. If anyone wants to contact me about a game, please use send a message to my IM account, or PM if that's easier.

You shouldn't have to use AIM express. Download AIM 5.9 (the old one, but still not 6.0). It's what I use and it's much much better.

Umm... No. I'm on a public computer for the rest of the break, so installing software is out of the question.
