Good game Joc! (dang it! )

Well played.

Joc (white) [wins] vs smallpackage (black)

Good game! Thanks for waiting!

SaRuMaN (Black) [Wins] vs Kratos (White)

Very well played, I felt sure you were going to win that one.

^ I was pretty sure to. Then you had to be mean. Great game never the less. It was fun.

Talon (black) vs Elfstone (white)

Talon wins. Good game.

Thanks! Not that good. I'll get you someday, my pretty, and your little friend Saru too!

(FYI, Saru's being VERY mean to me right now! )

Thistle (w) vs Colorless (bl)

Thistle wins.

Good game colorless.

Elfstone (White) vs SaRuMaN (Black) [Wins]

Good game, well played.

Yes, on YOUR part! Good game!

Now, when Barman finishes destroying me and I've played Janiel and Smallpackage I'll be done with my matches.

EDIT: *nevermind*

=S

Eh? I've only taken a Knight! Hardly game over just yet...

Just projecting based on past experience.

SaRuMaN (Black) [Wins] vs Janiel (White)

Win by timeout.

BurnSide (White) vs Janiel (Black)


BurnSide wins, also timeout.

I'm sitting on a timeout win against Janiel too. I've sent him a reminder but he hasn't moved. If I take it, he'll be out of the tournament, won't he?

I'm also waiting on Smallpackage and the new girl to move.

At this stage I think it'll be best to take any and all timeouts because some people have completely lost interest in the game and aren't likely to be moving any time soon.

I'm going to start removing participants who aren't moving so that we can get the tournament moving, else we'll be stuck in the situation where we are waiting for the same few people to finish.

thebarman (white) [Wins] Vs smallpackage (black)

Good game

Okay, then, I'll go take the timeout win on Janiel. That's everyone for me except Smallpackage, who I'm on my first game with. (Thanks for moving this morning, Sp! )
Oh, yeah, and finishing game two against the evil Bardude.

Ok that's 3 timeouts for Janiel which means removal from the tournament. All of his existing game results will be deducted from the scoreboard.

Evil! Oh now that's harsh

You should always be carefull if someone offers you a piece for free, there's usually a reason for it. Especially if it's offered to your Queen, and especially if there are Knights around, and especially if your playing me....

I know it! Oh, well. Lessons learned the hard way are usually better remembered.

It's only ever the people i win against who get timed out.

SaRuMaN (Black) [Wins] vs Smallpackage (White)

Win by timeout.

Joc (Black) [wins] vs . T-Nemesis (White)

Good game!

Joc (Black) [wins] vs smallpackage (White)

Good game!

thebarman (white) [wins] Vs Dowdy (black)

Great game mate, enjoyed that one

...one more to go....

SaRuMaN (Black) [Wins] vs Colorless (White)

Well played.

BurnSide (White) vs Dowdy (Black)

BurnSide wins, unfortunately by timeout.

To help move things along a bit i've removed SmallPackage as he has both the lowest number of games played and the most timeouts.

This means that we now have six players who have finished all their games, and two more have only one game to go. Once those are finished, I think we can wrap up this tournament as the remaining players won't be able to affect the top scorers anyway.

Woo that means i'm done!
Better score than last time. Movin on up-ah.

I hate to tell you this Saru but Bardude is wiping up the board with me. I started out this game with no rythm for some reason and things have just gone downhill. He'll undoubtedly be finishing me off early next week and then we'll both be done.

And, yeah, Burnsie! I finished better this time than last too. Yay us!

Sorry elfy, I'd disagree though I thought you played very well to start with in that game, just after the queen was taken it all seemed to just fall apart

Bardude (black) [Wins] Vs Elfstone (white)

...and that's me done, great tournement everyone, very well played

and of course congrats once again to Talon, undisputed chess champ

Yeah, that's the point at which it all went south for me. Just after I took that dang sacrificial bishop and you got my queen. I suppose once in a while everyone just has one game that sucks. Sorry I didn't give you a better run for your money this time. Congratulations, though!

And congrats to our top three winners, Talon (of course! ), Bardude, and Saru! Yay you!

Sorry about that. I just bought a little puppy so i was more occupied with him than the computer

Ok I think we can safely bring this tournament to a close, as nobody else will be able to affect the top three placements from this point.

I'll post up the results in just a moment.
