kamoh Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 psi call biased time structure in favor of nubs like nubs. in otherwords IF U CAN'T PLAY A 5/0 game without sucking gtfo. NAO 5/0 would be biased towards just a couple of players, which is in effect MORE biased. You can win with longer time controls, I've seen you do it. You just need to play more games. Ooooh snap.

Doolittle Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 So uh, I play one game with someone and we got a draw. totally had the advantage n effed up but o wheel. My AIM is DolittleSmash. Email is echoecho@inbox.com. If someone has gmail i could use an invite, thanks in advance for that. Wats up giggs? Quote
Doolittle Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I'm dont think i would consistently make the best decisions in said time. i suppose if no mate the most points wins, it would play to my advantage. Quote
kamoh Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 If someone can come up with a good system for randomizing color in a one-game round-robin, please let me know. I've been considering it and will probably figure out a way tonight, but keep in mind the following: 1) It must be clear who plays whom as what color. 2) One game vs. each. 3) Must allow for incoming players. 4) Largest variation between white & black games is one. I'm thinking it may have to keep the drawing system of three groups like we have now, but there would need to be a way to determine the games inside the groups. And the groups wouldn't be listed Quote
kamoh Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 Don't forget that this phase ends on Thursday, Eastern time. There are certainly opportunities for a lot of you to get games in, even if your division is stagnant. Currently, the rock division has two of the wild-cards, but every other division is completely up for grabs if you just play some games. In hindsight, this was a good idea that's plagued again by the issue of dead groupings. Paper has yet to record a single in-division game, which is where rock's strength lies. Ultimately, my idea to cut down on the number of individual games worked, there aren't any skyrocketing scores (little by little, which is far more manageable), but next time around we'll do something a little bit differently. I've concocted a visual table which allows me to assign colors for single-game round robins in a predetermined fashion. In short, we've got randomization...sort of. There will be no divisions next time around, and fewer games. I wanted one-game round robins because I want everyone to focus on single-game strategies, because that's what real tournament chess is about - one game at a time. This time around I played one game at a time, coming back to a previous match later on...I want to foster that sort of competitiveness between everyone. This would also allow for more people to play the maximum necessary games. In essence, back to June 2006! Quote
kamoh Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 l.AM I IN THE FUXORING FINALS YET SO I CAN OWN DAMA IN MAKING THE LONGEST MOVE POSSIBLE AND GETTING 16 MINUTES WHILE HE HAS 8 MINUTES??? No. Play more. Quote
Doolittle Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Feeling a little punching baggish... perhaps the next shall be different. Despite that, where is the rest of the competition? at least im playing! why am i getting drunk before an interview? Quote
kamoh Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 Just a little over two more days for qualification. Quote
eppy Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 the only people that play me are patzers. and margoute. Quote
kamoh Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 Alright alright, time to end it (I know I'm a little late). There is a significant change in the playoff format, since dP was the only one to answer, and he voted 2 and I vote 1 and my vote is the tiebreaker etc etc etc...Anyways... You will play ONE game at 10/15 time controls against your opponent. Higher seed chooses color. In case of a draw, switch color and play again. First one to record a victory wins the match and advances. QUARTERFINALS (3) MechaSonic4ever [1¾ pts] vs. (6) dPaladin [3 pts] (4) estêvão [8 pts] vs. (5) Setz [4¾ pts] SEMIFINALS (1) damathacus [10¼ pts] vs. (3/6) (2) Keegan The Fox [7 pts] (4/5) FINALS (1/3/6) vs. (2/4/5) *note: I changed around the matchups from a standard format so that damathacus and Keegan would not be playing divisional rivals in the semifinals, and so the top side of the bracket wasn't solely a rock divisional championship...I guess I found out first-hand what crap the NBA and NHL have been going through Quote
