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.

Chess has been a big part of my life. I've been playing since 12 years old.

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.

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.
Right now, it would be more something of a massacer than anything resembling a chess match

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
Dec 14 2005, 01:35 PM
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
Dec 15 2005, 08:37 PM
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!

)

I think the active players really are doing much better this time around.

Barman's about to end my undefeated streak

Nothing I do seems to work against him

Dec 15 2005, 10:49 PM
Wow! Go Bardude!
Talon
Dec 15 2005, 11:02 PM

__Kratos__
Dec 15 2005, 11:21 PM

I completely agree with Burnside!
Talon does have a nasty way of turning around games though...

I thought I was doing so dang well in our last game and blah!

edit: just looked at the game.
That was a helluva gambit with the bishop, knight pair Barman!
Elfstone810
Dec 15 2005, 11:59 PM
Aw, Talon! I'm so sorry for you!

(psst! GO BARDUDE!

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.

If he's destroying me in this game, whats he going to do to everyone else in the next

I'm finished playing him for the tourney.

He got me our last game. Like I said before, you have a nasty habit of turning things around.

When I'm a queen down? Don't see it happening

However, I'd have resigned by now if I wasn't hoping.

Yeah, and he's already killed me once and well on the way to killing me again.
Sorry Talon!

Face it. You're the Giant and he's Mickey Mouse.

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.

After viewing the game history and contemplating future moves, I have come to the conclusion that this game is far from 'over'.

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*

It was fun playing you all! Thanks everybody for some great games.
Elfstone810
Dec 30 2005, 08:27 AM

Thistle! Did you see? I think you need to introduce Kratos to your pointy stick!

(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.
