OCRCL Holiday Chess Tournament

[Cecilff2]

I lost vs Dama twice. Gave him two free pieces. Gonna get a decent rest before playin again.

Sorry I haven't been active playing games, guys. This week has been really hectic for me, but I came out of it moved home, with two new jobs, and...well I dunno, it's just been hectic.

Any comments on my three divisions/shorter clocks plan?

[kamoh]

i am still trying to perfect my fast pawn promotion strategy. It involves sacrificing the queen in hopes of getting another queen with the pawn already at the other side of the board.

I would say a sacrifice by the other backrow pieces might be a better strategy. If you can find a way to get a queen for, say, a rook, knight, and bishop, I think that's a viable strategy. Queens are ultimately stronger than the 9 points that most people think they are worth, and two of them could probably replicate most of your back row.

I opened with my rooks going for a queen trap straight off the bat lol. He didn't take it. I think he almost did though lol.

good games koi

edit: I was wearing my power lens and eppy kept registering as 4500 elo. He must have been going in and out of super saiyan.

Well.You can't stay super saiyan forever as you know unless you use fusion.

[Lunahorum]

good games

I'll have to learn some more trap openings. Opening books are for sissies.

[damathacus]

Still waiting for Falchion or Ifirit to show up. Got an alert on them for AIM, but no luck yet.

[LongeBane]

still waiting for my other loss to dama to show up.

[kamoh]

I'm not putting another loss to dama up for you.

[damathacus]

Forgot to mention, I played John. He fought me to a draw in the first match, despite my slight material advantage. Game two was fast and furious, and John tore me through me. So, one draw, and one win for John.

This is official pending a test.

[Bahamut]

Dama & I just finished a game on the googlegamecenter because yahoo was being buggy with his connection, and I eeked out a loss.

[damathacus]

I give up on Falchion and Ifirit. If they wanna play, they know where to find me. Otherwise I'm done.
