Sorry for the no show! I haven't been here for ages.

Both finalists were much better then me anyway.

Might I just state that Noodle is the single most incapable man on the planet, I don't know why I actually go to him asking for mod based favours

Could some other mod bail him out of his duties please, desticky this thread, and issue Si Yuan with a 'Cafe Grandmaster 2008' tagline please. Oh and give him a slap across the chops for good measure too

Thanks

I can't believe no mod has de-stickied this thread though, anyone would think we weren't paying them to perform their jobs...

Pablo76 · 11th July 2008, 23:24

Is this still open , where the link ?

Brad · 12th July 2008, 01:00

Closed and played Pablo I'm afraid

Thanks for the help Sults

McCool · 12th July 2008, 11:14

Anyone want to play? I'm mainly talking to Brad here, I want a decent game...

Pablo76 · 13th July 2008, 18:53

I'll have a game , the jury is out if i'm decent or not but i was taught by a former district champion.

Brad · 13th July 2008, 19:09

One thing we could do is have a 'chess ladder' system, where there would be no compulsion to play a game. You arrange a game against another ladder player on your own volition, if you win you rise a place, if you lose you remain where you are. You can't play the same player consequtively, so we get a bit of variation in opposition, and stops someone beating the same crap opponent over and over to rise to the top!

Sound like a decent plan? Any suggestions to improve it?

That's a good idea. Maybe once the ladder gets going you can only challenge a person upto 4 places above you and if you win you take their place while they go down one.

Thats similar to what we use to do in primary school chess

Oh, I feel a nerd now!

Good suggestion, that sounds more like it. And anyone who joins obviously goes to the bottom of the ladder. Could have a rule where if you don't play for say a month, you drop to the bottom of the ladder, so we don't get stuck with a batch of non players preventing over folk from finding opposition?

McLovin · 13th July 2008, 21:44

Nice idea. I'm in!

Brad · 13th July 2008, 21:52

Ok, I'll start a new thread for it
