BurnSide 7 #454 Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) The last match finished was almost a month ago, but lots of people still have lots of games to finish. What did everyone just lose interest? Edited July 8, 2005 by BurnSide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saru 8,156 #455 Posted July 8, 2005 That's what I was wondering, not a single game has been completed in nearly a month. The tournament only has another few days to go anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talon 6 #456 Posted July 8, 2005 That's what I was wondering, not a single game has been completed in nearly a month. The tournament only has another few days to go anyway. I noticed that as well, but then I looked at the scores and I know why. Barring Barman (who's on holiday) there is actually nobody who has a feasble chance of getting into the top 3, they just have to many loses/draws. Personally I would fight it out for 4th place, but I think those who have actually finished all their games are the real Die-hard chess fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BurnSide 7 #457 Posted July 8, 2005 *puffs out chest* I knew i didn't have a chance of winning but i had alot of funny playing at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talon 6 #458 Posted July 8, 2005 You've improved though, thats the last two games you've worryed me. First game you took advantage early, you just didn't see my threat until it was too late, but the second game... seriously I thought I was done until I got my bishop to annoy you're queen. I wouln't worry BS, next tournment you're looking at being somewhere in top 5 easily if you keep up at this pace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BurnSide 7 #459 Posted July 8, 2005 I almost had Saruman too, we were down to our skivies until his manovering got the better of me. Top 5? Bah, next year i'll WIN. I'll challenge you again shortly. I have to say, although i've lost everygame, i do enjoy playing you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talon 6 #460 Posted July 8, 2005 Top 5? Bah, next year i'll WIN I wouldn't go that far I'll still be in next year too Muahahahaha I jest. We'll have to see Oh btw, if you want to test yourself play Amalgamut, he fought me to a standstill a fe days ago, and he may well participant next year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BurnSide 7 #461 Posted July 8, 2005 Thanks, when i have a moment, i'll fire him off a message. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talon 6 #462 Posted July 8, 2005 There is also oriok05. I'm pretty sure I got him hammered; http://www.redhotpawn.com/core/playchess.php?gameid=1235313 He's quite good, but I'd be careful, I got info from a source who will remain unnamed that he challenged someone to an edited game were he gave himself nothing by Queens. It could have been a joke, but it could well be he's a bad sport and hoped to trick this person into giving him an easy win after the first few moves had been made and it was to late to cancel. So challenge him if you want, but be careful if he asks for a rematch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talon 6 #463 Posted July 8, 2005 Really annoying. I check Hyole chess again just in case, but still can't get access to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BurnSide 7 #464 Posted July 8, 2005 I'll keep that in mind. It would be fun to play an edited game. Playing with horses and pawns or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
