Earth calling T Nemesis, are you out there?

You move, but only after I send a reminder, EVERY single time. I'll send one more reminder, after that I'm claiming a timeout, something that pains me to do, and I've not done before.

Sorry everyone, I'm having trouble getting on to the site. I'm on a different pc for now so I'll try and make up for time lost.

Sorry, once again.

...Sorry but I just have to share....

In ther open invitationals.... i noticed someone has a game that can only be taken up by those with a rating over 2500....

Well.... wince the highest on the site is in the 2400's...... I wonder if he'll be waiting for a while... lol
thebarman
Not bored are you Subby?

That's almost as bad as my "Overtaking BurnSide" thread laugh.gif
Subtemperate
I finished my matches...what... week ago? OF COURSE I'm bored ... lol

What can I say barman, I have a closet accountant in me somewhere... tongue.gif

Chess has been a big part of my life. I've been playing since 12 years old. clap.gif
Talon
T-Nemesis, you've run out of time on our game. But I don't want to win via time out considering you've been moving rather recently as of late, and most of the timebank disappeared at the beginning of the match.
I'm going to give you another 12 hours to move and then I'll claim the win just to keep the tournment moving.
__Kratos__
If anybody wants a friendly game, I have an opening. original.gif
BurnSide
Challenge away Kratos, i could use the sever beating. original.gif
Talon
I'll play you, I've only got 3 games on.
Subtemperate
Anyone wants to play me, as I have no matches left, please just start a game with me....
__Kratos__
Sorry Subby, I'm out of spaces. sad.gif

Subtemperate
Mpt sure when the next tourney would start, bt shortly after this one finishes, or as it finishes, we shall have a chess league opening..... So you will have an opportunity to join that.

In the meantime, I'm sure there are plenty on the site who would give you exhibition matches if you want.
SnakeProphet
I have a place left, feel free to challenge me.
__Kratos__
I'll challenge you, Snake. original.gif
SnakeProphet
And there I was hoping for a win...... tongue.gif

You always play well though. Our last game was pretty close.
SnakeProphet
Not when it's too late at night, like it is right now. It's 1:17 AM here,Insomnia is back and I haven't seen daylight for quite some time now, expect in school. Wait for tommorow though, then I'll at least go down with a fight. laugh.gif

Right now, it would be more something of a massacer than anything resembling a chess match laugh.gif
Ciraxis
if anyone would like a friendly game, i finally have an opening. my name on rhp is ciraxis, i'd like to play a game with any of you, any time.
joc
Just wondering when this particular tournament ends.

Note: I am leaving for Christmas vacation and will be gone Dec 18 - Dec 28. I will not be starting anymore games until the 28th.

Saru
There is no set date for the tournament ending, usually it ends once enough games have been played for us to determine who the top three players are.
Elfstone810
Pretty close, isn't it, this time? We all know Talon's first, but Saru, Thistle, Bardude and who else (Kratos? Joc?) are pushing for the second and third places. (Although second will probably be Saru or Barman, right?)

Elfstone (content to have a few wins by my name! original.gif)
BurnSide
I think the active players really are doing much better this time around.
Talon
Barman's about to end my undefeated streak sad.gif Nothing I do seems to work against him crying.gif
BurnSide
Wow! Go Bardude!
Talon
Hey!
__Kratos__
laugh.gif I completely agree with Burnside!

Talon does have a nasty way of turning around games though... disgust.gif I thought I was doing so dang well in our last game and blah! tongue.gif

edit: just looked at the game.

That was a helluva gambit with the bishop, knight pair Barman!
Elfstone810
Aw, Talon! I'm so sorry for you! yes.gif

(psst! GO BARDUDE! grin2.gif)

Was hardly a gambit, no matter my move it payed off. Lets get this straight people I saw the pin on my king a mile off, but had I moved my queen instead of the knight, while my queen would have survived, it would have cost three other officers in the following moves. In all, lossing my queen was the strongest move I could have made.

I don't see what you're all so happy about rolleyes.gif If he's destroying me in this game, whats he going to do to everyone else in the next tongue.gif

When I'm a queen down? Don't see it happening tongue.gif However, I'd have resigned by now if I wasn't hoping.
Elfstone810
Yeah, and he's already killed me once and well on the way to killing me again.

Sorry Talon! tongue.gif Face it. You're the Giant and he's Mickey Mouse. laugh.gif

Thats mean crying.gif
thebarman
Mmm, I feel the comeback may be on the horizon, points wise I'm only 4 ahead, more than enough to bring it level.

It's all a gamble that paid off really, I was going for an early queen swap which would have left Talon unable to castle, I thought that would give me the advantage. Then when that was thwarted I squealed like a girl (no offence girls) and kept him in check till I could escape.
joc
After viewing the game history and contemplating future moves, I have come to the conclusion that this game is far from 'over'. no.gif

Janiel, I've challenged you. yes.gif

Smallpackage, if you get an opening, will you challenge me, pretty please? You're the only person I still need to play that I don't have a game going against. original.gif
joc
I'm back from vacation and ready to play... w00t.gif
BurnSide
I second Elfstone, i also badly need to play you smallpackage.
__Kratos__
Looking at the scoreboard now... best I can reach is 4th place if the universe drops things in my favor...

*puts a curse on Elfstone810 and Thistle* devil.gif

wink2.gif

It was fun playing you all! Thanks everybody for some great games. original.gif
Elfstone810
crying.gif Thistle! Did you see? I think you need to introduce Kratos to your pointy stick!

tongue.gif

(This has been a lot of fun this time around, hasn't it? I think we're all improving and I'm really looking forward to playing everyone again as part of a league. yes.gif)
Saru
I agree I think everyone has improved a lot since the last tournament, we have many good chess players in our midst. thumbsup.gif
