Chess Tournament

[Zelsius]

First round ended.

Winners of the first round are Spire, Ebbit, SSJ Jup, and me. Those will enter the second round now. As Chris didn't show up for his game and digiboy returned, Joey's opponent for the first round was changed to digiboy. Game still pending since they didn't have as much time as the rest of us.

Results of the first round:

Well played, everyone.

Now, the second round is a point-based system. Every player has to play two games. For every win you get a point. A loss just means no point. The player with the least points at the end of the round will be out. If more than one player has that score, there'll be a bonus match to decide who can stay.

Second round's games are:

This round will last two weeks since everyone has to play two games. Good luck!

Note: Special Thanks to Ebbit for helping me a great deal with the tiresome work of producing visual aids.

 

[Ebbit]

To Zelsius: No problem, I was very glad to help. Though I didn't really do much. <<

To Spire and SSJ Jup: Unless you contact me first, I'll be sending PMs to you soon to work out a time to play.

To Joeyboy: If you're interested, 10" by 10" glossy prints of the second edition are available at my gift shop.

Liek, Haiz.

Btw, I am Roll's brother. However, I won't be on this account much as Roll is the primary user (laugh)

I'm gonna get a Yahoo games account soon and hopefully use it in the next round. I haven't had time to analyze, but I will probably replay those games sometime this easter. (God I need a Chess software...)

Hello, Roll's brother.
You only need a normal yahoo mailing account. With that you can play all of yahoo's games on the site.
It's too late to enter this tournament, sadly, as it wouldn't be fair for the other contestants, but you're very welcome to play me anytime you want. (And take part the next time we do something like this.)

I am Roll's brother.

You mean Role's brother. Her sig implies she doesn't like people getting the two confused. ^^;

 

[Joey]

Digi D:

 

[Zelsius]

He introduced himself as Roll's brother, so that's what I'm going with. Either way, this has no place in this topic.

 

[SSJ Jup81]

Wait, by "two games" do you mean we play each person we're paired with twice, or that we're playing two single games (one for each person you're paired with)?

 

[Zelsius]

Two single games. You're playing me, and then you're playing Ebbit. Or the other way round, doesn't matter. That's why you have two weeks.

 

[SSJ Jup81]

Oh. Too bad Ebbit still seems to be busy. I'm ready and willing to play.

 

[Ebbit]

Sorry for missing earlier, SSJ Jup81. We'll have to play today or one of the other days this week.

I did finish the game with Spire I mentioned to you, and here are the results:

Congratulations, Spire, on a well-earned victory~ (I of course now doubly expect to see you reach the finals of the tournament unbeaten, you understand. -.-)

 

[SSJ Jup81]

Tonight should work fine. I have to work, for now, though, so see you when I see ya.

 

[SSJ Jup81]

I lost to Zelsius. It was a really fast game. I had a feeling I was just from the way she opened.

 

[Zelsius]

She. I'm still female and will stay so for at least sixty more years. I hear horrible things about age and hormones, but that's far in the future.

[SSJ Jup81]

I didn't even realize I typed "he". I know you're a girl. Major typo. ><;

 

[Joey]

Digi and I never ended up playing, so I guess I'll be playing Spire tonight/tomorrow/whenever XD

 

[hwarangoo]

Zelsius Has pretty good moves you have to Watch her carefully. Otherwise she can execute her program advance.
Edit: Can I play another match with you next week or so?

[Joey]

Thanks Spire~
That was fun.
Zel, let's finish our game in the morning. ~

 

[SSJ Jup81]

I wouldn't mind a rematch with Zelsius, if that's okay.
