.... well I can't now... neither of you challenged me during the night so ParaniodAndriod got there first and took my free space

Bad PA oh well..........I guess I can wait a bit longer to be ritually tortured.

Well the position's open again. At least we can all get punished together

You were doing pretty well actually until you're queen got trapped It was a fun game

Game started, I know you're scared Tal so I'll be gentle with you

Seriously, as soon as I lost that opening pawn (blame that on me thinking it was safe but if I took it leaving my queen open to a trade - I don't like offering queen-for-queen trades so early) you had the game won. I was on the run, and you were on the attack. There was no feasible way for me to come out the winner.

Well played in all respects
Next time you won't be so lucky

I have a simple question about the timebank for one day and timeout for seven, just exactly how do they work , im confused on that part and in the red ,??? why?


please dont laugh

From the time your opponent makes his or her move, you have 24 hours to respond with your move. If you don't move within that time limit, time starts being taken from your 7-day "reserve". If those 7 days runs out, your opponent can claim victory for your taking too long to move.

Hope that helps, Abecrombie

If anybody wants to play a fun game, I'll be on for a while and I have 2 openings.

I saced a goat last night to jinx Talon this year.

I mentioned this to Rebirth but if you change the settings on the chess board it somewhat helps. It does for me at least. Though, I'm sure I'll still suck despite what the board looks like.

thanks kratos it helps a little but my problem lies more within the realm of not being able to visualize what is going on, like i said i'm better at "in person" chess
(the time between moves doesn't help either)

Well I have been practicing my Chess a lot lately. Playing both Correspondance and Blitz Chess. I will soon have some free spots at RHP and hopefully I can give Saruman a bit more of a challenge then last time.

Is there any kind of timescale or deadline for this tournement?

Also did gambit420 say to anyone he was going to be away?

I only ask as with only 10 posts in total in almost a year and one loss already to timeout I can't help but get the feeling that we might not hear anything from him again, I could be wrong of course, so I have deleted our game rather than claim a timeout.

I think what will happen eventually is that if he doesn't move within a certain amount of time he will end up being removed from the tournament.

The further in to the tournament we go, the less practical it will be to replace inactive players, so what may happen is that his games will be discounted and the space he occupied in his group will go empty.

That being said, we haven't reached that point yet, and I don't think he is the only participant in need of a replacement, so we may see a couple of new players coming in very soon.

ACfishing you haven't moved in 5 days!

* Waves to all *

Remind me again. Those little horse things. What do they do?

Welcome aboard Tiggs

TiggsUM has now replaced Kyoquadan in group D.

*knights may only move one space at a time and only forward. If knights are controlled by rev r they may move anywhere on the board even if they have been captured by the opposing player*

-source: official Intergalactic Chess Federation ruling.

welcome to the fray.

Welcome aboard, Tiggs. Game started and your move. Hope you stick around. We haven't had much luck in Group D, keeping players around. Maybe I frightened them off, lol.

Nah you're just being paranoid.

Gambit420 hasn't moved in almost two weeks and has timed out of several games, he has now been replaced by Arbiter22.

Welcome to the tournament and good luck.

Arbiter22 bring it on!

Oh, it's on.

(I suck at chess, may you kick my ass mercifully )

Hey all, I got some down time from uni for a couple of days, and there's a couple of spare slots in my profile, so if anyone's up for a game, feel free to make a challenge. I need some practice.

I won't be able to make my move until tomorrow, but you can start up if you like

~ PA

Burnside and Thistlle,.. You both drive a good hard game
in other words.....@#$%$^&*@$%



Zombiedog

Thistlie killed me, and you're doing a damn fine job this game yourself!

Thistlie?

*Intends to inject his bishop into Bursides left pupil *

...But yeah shes a pain to play... lol

Like, my fingers are too fat for the buttuns.

In other news... please someone play me...I have only 2 games on at the moment, with one yet to get underweigh, and due to timing I get about 3 moves a day BETWEEN my games lol

I would but i'm scared.

lol

No need to be scared burnsy...

I'll challenge you Subby. Hopefully you won't kill me like last game we played...

lol was that last time? I thought it was the time before....

Yeah, you beat me then to. Thanks for rubbing that in.

Our first game though, I beat you. Still, you've got one up on me.

Why do I have the feeling it will be 2 all after this then

... after a long lay off before this tournament, I'm still trying to work out how i prefer to play.... So... Hopefully my tactics are a little more even soon lol

thank you AtlantisRises

Abecrombie

You showed me no mercy first game

So , Im realy trying not to get burnsided on the second.

but at this moment.....I feel

I haven't been playing since the past week, seeing as though I was on camp, well, I'm ready to play, hardcore style!!

Tobias Shamtul has now joined group B in place of Diode who's bowed out. Welcome and good luck.

anyone heard from ACFishing... he's soon to time out

Thats exactly what I was going to ask . ACfishing are you still with the tornament or what?
I hope everything is ok with you but please let us know whats going on with the games you have waiting for you.

I've challenged you and its your move ........


Abecrombie....RHP name ZombieDog

I think whats going to have to start happening in order to get us through round one of the tournament is that inactive players are just going to have to time out rather than being replaced all the time.

Any player who doesn't move for a lengthy period of time or quits will be removed from their group and not replaced. Only the top three scoring players in each group will go through, so inactive players will simply end up in the bottom two and not go through anyway.

Sounds good to me
Abecrombie

Well back on the forums finally

Well just got to complete the second game with Pottie and Subby. Then do the game with Punishment and then two games with ashley my i better get moving

Apologies to all who I'm playing against at the moment. I've been away for the weekend and haven't had the chance to get onto the net. I thought I'd have time to at least get on every day to make my moves, but it didn't work out that way. In any case, I'm back now, and ready to bring on the pain, lol....

i have an open slot for practicing if anyone wants to

I also have an open slot.

So go ahead and play me if you wish.

I am FallenGodling on RHP

RamboVII has bowed out of the tournament, there are no more replacements available so that means we are now down to four players in group D. Since he hadn't played any games, the scores in that group remain unaffected.

* Feels suspiciously like the fourth man in Group D *

Apologies - like PA, I was also called away unexpectedly this weekend. I'd also like to take this opportunity to point out that this was just a random coincidence and in no way, shape or form whatsoever were we both together having a mad passionate fling in Paris.

Thank you for your attention. You may now continue...

now Im total confused here


This is my status thus far:

three games are pending with this tournament
which are burnside ,acfishing and the rebirth

the other three are from the rhp players i had previously been playing before the tournament started

question is ......where does that leave me ?

Games with non-tournament players won't count towards the tournament, only towards your RHP rating.
