thebarman Posted November 20, 2006 #176 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Bardude, if I were truely evil I could claim a timeout right now That would be evil But then we'd never find out who'll win this nailbiter of a game we've got going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted November 22, 2006 Author #177 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The overall tournament progress has now been added to the top scoresheet, as of this moment we have completed 75 out of 120 matches for round one, which means we have 45 left to go.

Talon Posted November 22, 2006 #178 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Bardude I've offered you a draw, I really can't see a win in this for either of this the way its going (i.e. I can't afford a queen exchange, and you can't afford not to keep on top of her with yours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarman Posted November 23, 2006 #179 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Agreed, good game though. Felt decidedly claustrophobic through most of it as we only used half the board. Good luck in the next round, although I'm sure you won't need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantisRises Posted November 30, 2006 #180 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Unfortunately I must abdicate my position in the tournament. I recentally suffered a rather serious injury and between rehab and painkillers I doubt I can provide a reasonable challenge to anyone. My apologies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted November 30, 2006 Author #181 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Very sorry to hear that Here's wishing you all the best and speedy recovery. You're last game has actually just timed out so you'd completed all your games for round one anyway. Thanks for taking part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggs Posted December 2, 2006 #182 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I'm free for a practise game while we're waiting for the next round to begin, if anyone's interested... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaoszerg Posted December 2, 2006 #183 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Arbiter22 what happend on our second match lol It ended quickly thanks for the match mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted December 5, 2006 Author #184 Share Posted December 5, 2006 We've now got only 25 matches left to go in round one, so everyone who hasn't finished all their games yet should be getting their last few remaining matches completed.

+Paranoid Android Posted December 5, 2006 #185 Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) I'm in the endgame of my last match right now. Judging by how long it's taking between moves, I've calculated a checkmate by me in 3 weeks (sorry, but it's 20+ moves til I have the arsenal to beat him, and it's pretty much taking right on 24 hours per move). My opponent is holding out hopes for a stalemate. Good luck Edited December 5, 2006 by Paranoid Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarman Posted December 5, 2006 #186 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Thanks to the nailbiting group D games and the closeness of its scores, I've managed to get a seeded place with 2nd place in my group and 19 points. Thanks Group D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Paranoid Android Posted December 5, 2006 #187 Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) Glad we could be of help. Now, the organizers could really repay that generosity with not seeding us with Saru, Talon or Barman (and perhaps John343, haven't really checked out his games yet) Edited December 5, 2006 by Paranoid Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggs Posted December 5, 2006 #188 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Group D is insanely close - I think that reflects the high level of quality of players within the group overall. My condolences to whoever doesn't qualify from the group - I'm sure that, in any other group, they'd easily be through to the second stage. I predict that Round 2 may well be very interesting - I don't think that being seeded is going to guarantee an easy place in the final round, by any means.

+Paranoid Android Posted December 11, 2006 #197 Share Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) I've got a slot free if anyone wants a practice game?
