Talon Posted July 3, 2007 #176 Share Posted July 3, 2007 So did I, I don't know how I didn't see that pin on the rook... oh well. But yeah, I felt you were different fom usual, if you want we could always just say that was practice game and go again? I've played a guy at work a few games over the last few months at Asda, so I feel I've been keeping my hand it, but I also felt it was weird looking at a 2-d board again.

Subtemperate Posted July 3, 2007 #177 Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) I'm happy to play again, even if you do want the other two to count... I could use the practise. I expect to come bottom of the finals, but whilst I'm playing well would be good lol Edited July 3, 2007 by Subtemperate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebarman Posted August 1, 2007 #180 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I think by the looks of things so far Barman is going to win this tournament the way its currently going That's a bit premature, I've got a total of one draw to my name compared to your 4 wins and one draw. It's a long way from over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted August 1, 2007 #182 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I think by the looks of things so far Barman is going to win this tournament the way its currently going That's a bit premature, I've got a total of one draw to my name compared to your 4 wins and one draw. It's a long way from over Yeah, you're right, what was I think - I'm of course going to win In honesty, I believed it would be the case because I was confident that one of my games against Paraniod would be a draw, thus putting you ahead. But Paraniod wants to fight on, so who knows how it will end yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarman Posted August 1, 2007 #183 Share Posted August 1, 2007 In honesty, I believed it would be the case because I was confident that one of my games against Paraniod would be a draw, thus putting you ahead. Well, you're assuming that I'm going to win all my other games which may not be the case, as the previous two tourneys have shown I'm the king of rushing a game and making a stupid mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted August 1, 2007 #184 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I had also forgotten about Tiggs and Saruman. Saru is a strong player, but I don't think I've every played Tiggs, so I'm not sure who'll win that. Course Paraniod may well have rejected a draw because he sees a way to win, and with thrash me and then carry on to win. And Parb was a good player also, although he lost against me just, he may well beat everyone else and capitalise on my own loses and thus win. Tense.

+Paranoid Android Posted August 2, 2007 #185 Share Posted August 2, 2007 (edited) ^I'm under no illusions, Talon. You're still a better player than me, though I've learnt a heap since starting to play chess. I'm due for a silly move somewhere down the track, I think. I don't think you offered a draw to me, I didn't see any chance to accept one, and I certainly can't see any sure way to win in the future. Oh well, good luck ~ PA Edited August 2, 2007 by Paranoid Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Paranoid Android Posted August 7, 2007 #191 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Thanks for the game. You made some very good moves. Some not so good moves also, but I made one particularly not so good move that forced me to give up my advantage, and then hand it straight over to you. I'm probably lucky to get a draw after it. I even looked at that variation and originally tossed it out, but coming home after a long day at uni, my mind wasn't really on it. But credit where it's due Well done.

Subtemperate Posted August 7, 2007 #192 Share Posted August 7, 2007 lol yeah I tend to play that way, I am capable of playing well, but have the concentration of a jack rabbit. Once I saw you make that mistake to give me the advantage, I made sure I was going to at least draw it...there was little I could do the get out of that check roundabout.... so I decided not to be greedy and try something where I'd muck up, and take the draw.

Saru Posted August 8, 2007 Author #193 Share Posted August 8, 2007 So in the deciding match: Tiggs (White) vs SaRuMaN (Black) - Game drawn Still no closer to deciding who gets that space in the final round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Paranoid Android Posted August 22, 2007 #200 Share Posted August 22, 2007 ^Heh, yeah. I ran out of ideas after you started to push that pawn down. I couldn't see how I could avoid you queening, and I started to maneuvre around to get stop it. It looks like I just weakened my own position though. OH well, a good game.
