Talon Posted October 22, 2006 #104 Share Posted October 22, 2006 You were doing pretty well actually until you're queen got trapped It was a fun game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Link of Hyrule Posted October 22, 2006 #106 Share Posted October 22, 2006 (edited) You were doing pretty well actually until you're queen got trapped It was a fun game 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 Edited October 22, 2006 by Paranoid Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abecrombie Posted October 22, 2006 #107 Share Posted October 22, 2006 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 Abecrombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Link of Hyrule Posted October 22, 2006 #108 Share Posted October 22, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Kratos__ Posted October 22, 2006 #109 Share Posted October 22, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the rebirth Posted October 22, 2006 #110 Share Posted October 22, 2006 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantisRises Posted October 23, 2006 #111 Share Posted October 23, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarman Posted October 23, 2006 #112 Share Posted October 23, 2006 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.

Saru Posted October 23, 2006 Author #113 Share Posted October 23, 2006 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.

+Link of Hyrule Posted October 25, 2006 #123 Share Posted October 25, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
