The RedCafe Chess CheckMatery Tournament 2008


Ok folks, sign up, I'll add you names to this initial post. I'll give it a day or two for entrants to commit, from there on I'll create a random set of fixtures. Tournament shall occur by knockout, with a prelimanery round if numbers don't work out evenly. Competitors will have 4 days from the posting of the draw to complete their matches. Games can be played on any multi player chess site, however I recommend Yahoo, because I'm already signed up to it. No time limit for tables, but don't be arses about it

Prize, with the consent of a helpful mod, will be a new tagline commemorating your achievement. Or something

Good luck

Standings

McCool vs Cornell
Mclovin vs Brad

Crappy vs Si Yuan
Hectic v 3Sixty

There is always this old scary guy at my local RSL that sits there playing drunk people at Chess every Friday night.

I've never beat him, but sober...I reckon I could checkmate a Caftard.

Count me in Bradley.

I'm in. Now to get practising!

(Brad, you seem to be good at this...can I suggest Stickcricket as a possible summer tournament? Not sure how that will work though)

Same procedure I used for the champions league prediction cup Ceks, use random.com to produce me some numbers linked to Cafites names

I'll give it a bit more time for people to sign up yet, will keep everyone up to date in this thread so keep your eye on it

I'm in but I'm traveling for the next few days so it'll be difficult for me to be online for long. And the hotel internet might not be good enough.
