Chess Tournament

Welcome to the DATS Chess Tournament of Fame and Glory.

To participate you must know how to move the pieces and you need a yahoo mailing account. No YIM, just a mailing account which you can create for free on the site.

It's one round a week, so if you want to play, make sure you can spare the time.

The winner will get half of my kingdom and Rein's first-born son/daughter, and, of course, all of the fame and glory.

To enter the tournament, post in this thread.

As a wise man once said, "There are more adventures on a chessboard than on all the seas of the world."

 

[Joey]

I would enjoy a tournament very much. :3
*hasn't been in one since 8th grade*

 

[Nemomon]

I may try.

 

[Ebbit]

And my lurking record is slowly destroyed. But I cannot stay away. o.o

If we win, do we have to take all the prizes offered?

 

[Zelsius]

Given that I have no actual kingdom yet, and the woman deranged enough to sleep with Rein has been hiding well so far, you don't need to worry about that now.

 

[digiboy123]

I'll try.

Don't hurt me too bad, guys!

 

[hwarangoo]

But how would we play it then? im confused

 

[digiboy123]

Players would be split into blocks. Ever watch DBZ and the tournaments? Remember the status boards? Something like that, I think.

And we play on Yahoo! Games to play each other. Pretty simple.

Did i mention Zel kicks chess ass?
Good luck guys - you WILL need it!
(sits this out)

The Yahoo! Games site has a chess section. You and your opponent would meet there at a time when you're both available and play. The results would then be returned to Zelsius. To play on the Yahoo! Games site, you need to sign in using a Yahoo! Mail address. It's free and doesn't take long to register, so don't let that stop you from playing.

 

[Rein]

My first born daughter/son? I've already entrusted them to Pazuzu when I die.

By that I mean to say that it is highly unlikely that I'll ever have a child, lol. Oh yeah, and I'm taking part in the awesome tournament, too. Wonderful idea, Zelsius. That is why you are so much greater than I am, and why Pazuzu loves you to death while he doesn't give me more than a fleeting thought every once in a year.

 

[hwarangoo]

If thats the case Im in even though I learned chess from the lego chess game. Tourneys are always fun and i already had a yahoo mail account.

 

[Spire]

I will apply too. It's been a while and I quite enjoyed the last one I was in ^^

 

[Zags]

I guess I'll enter. I just gotta make a yahoo account then.

 

[Takatofan1986]

I wanna play, i'll sign up when i get home

 

[hackerTamer]

<hackerTamer> THIS IS A CHALLENGE
<Zelsius> SIGN UP

 

[Takatofan1986]

I wanna play, i'll sign up when i get home

I thought we had to actually sign up somewhere else, lol. Yeah im in

 

[Zelsius]

Got it, Takatofan.

I meant to start the tournament now, but given that one of the players has lost his laptop, and another his whole house, I'm delaying it for a day or two to make new plans.

 

[SSJ Jup81]

I would try this, if I didn't suck big time at the game. I'm obviously not a strategical thinker.

 

[Zelsius]

Let's begin, then. Rein and digiboy cannot participate right now, but depending on when they come back, they might get their chance anyway.

There'll be five rounds with changing rules.
For the first round goes:
Win and you'll be in the second round. Lose and you're out. You can't offer nor accept draws, there must be a winner. Of course the chess rules can still force a draw, but no voluntary ones allowed.

The pairings and colour you'll be playing you can take from these:

Please get into PM contact with your opponent concerning the time you want to play the game, etc., and try to finish your game within one week starting today.

When you've played, the winner should report the outcome in this thread, please.

Any other questions still open, PM me, or post here.
