+joc Posted February 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Congratulations to everyone who has made it through to the final round of the tournament! Round 2 has now started. There are a total of ten players in the final round. The scoring is the same - 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. Everyone plays everyone else twice, once as white and once as black. The player with the highest score at the end wins the tournament. The timeout settings are still the same, 7 days timebank and 1 day timeout. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Nuke- Posted February 21, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Atlantis is very tough if you dont think every move through thoroughly after your opening he will tear someone apart. Somehow I pulled out a draw our first game but he ripped through my Sicilian. I used a variation that doesnt exist that I thought existed in my brain hahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danydandan Posted February 21, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Just now, -Nuke- said: Dropouts? EoTs spot? Points? Ah...... Not sure how I feel about taking someone else's spot to be honest. Well, I guess I'll try finishing up the seven games I have going at the moment and kick on. If @Earl.Of.Trumps pops in prior to me starting any games he can re-take his spot. @Saru and @joc is that ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll start playing with my pen and paper once more. Hopefully that will help. I'll be last on the league table I suspect.

+joc Posted February 21, 2019 Author #10 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Unfortunately Earl has timed out by not moving in 15 days. I also sent him a p.m. several days ago which has gone unanswered. I sincerely wish him the best and hope he gets everything worked out. But unfortunately he is no longer part of the tournament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok no worries Joc. Well... I'll be the whipping boy I fear, only I don't like being whipped. Unless it's cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have that on the app. So I'm using a more out dated method of analysis, because if my current games are anything to go by I can't do too well with out writing stuff down.

AtlantisRises Posted February 21, 2019 #21 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Anyone up for a game please shoot one towards me. AtlantisRises1, I have a bit of time to kill at the moment as work is very quiet. I also agree that Saru is the one to beat, however Nuke is very good.

danydandan Posted February 22, 2019 #23 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) @Pettytalk I have started our two games. I couldn't accept a draw on our practice game as you had me well beaten. Two moves later you had check-mate! Edit: Just noticed I fecked up the time bank conditions. Edited February 22, 2019 by danydandan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
