The RedCafe Chess CheckMatery Tournament 2008

VidaRed · 21st May 2008, 18:05

you can go through mate.

i made two mistakes...first when i had to sacrifice my knight after i checked you're king and you brought you rook and the second when i didnt move my queen and you're knight captured her...it went all downhill from there for me. i was barely hanging on.

Brad · 22nd May 2008, 20:51

Jeeze, get a room guys! Just shag each other and have done with it

3Sixty progresses, given the queen advantage

Quarter Final Line Up:

McCool vs Cornell
Mclovin vs Brad

Crappy vs Si Yuan
Hectic v 3Sixty

p.s Notice how desperate Liverpool university are? They'll accept anyone who basically knows the rules of chess!

McCool · 22nd May 2008, 23:42

Cornell... when's good for you?

I can't do evenings (BST at least) until Monday.

Around this time is good if you're available over the next few days. I could go anytime from a couple of hours ago till another 3 hours.

3Sixty · 23rd May 2008, 11:59

Hmmm isn't Hectic a mod?

If i win he might ban me.

Mods can't ban, I think.

Brad · 23rd May 2008, 14:01

McLovin, you want to play ours now?

SiYaun, we'll say everyone has until next tuesday to complete this round, though the sooner the better

Yeah, I'm fine with now. I'm in social lounge 14

McLovin · 23rd May 2008, 14:25

Brad won !

Brad · 23rd May 2008, 14:26

Updated standings:

McCool vs Cornell
Mclovin vs Brad

Crappy vs Si Yuan
Hectic v 3Sixty

Unlucky McLovin, early loss of the queen made that a bit of a formality sadly for you. Thanks for competing though

McLovin · 23rd May 2008, 14:29

Yep, only a mistake from you would have let me back in !

McCool · 23rd May 2008, 15:04

Cornell, you're online, I'm online... let's do this thing

Don't worry, I'm going to ban you either way.

I'm not sure either, can I test it out on you?

crappycraperson · 23rd May 2008, 22:08

Drop me a PM when you wanna do this Siyuan...I am free most of the time to do it...

Brad · 27th May 2008, 11:38

Todays meant to be the deadline for this round of matches folks...

Cornell · 27th May 2008, 11:40

Can myself and McCool have an extended deadline on account of me being in the middle of an enormous clean up house mission?

crappycraperson · 27th May 2008, 13:15

I am always available for a match, so if Siyuan does not show up tonite, not my fault.

McCool · 27th May 2008, 20:04

Boooooo!

Brad · 27th May 2008, 20:34

I'll extend the deadline to 10pm Thursday night BST

If games aren't finished by then, I'll put people through on my random whim and discretion

Shit you're a belter, I forgot they messed around with the time this week. Why is it on Tuesday?

I'll give you a game after that if you like

Deal.

Seeyou here, 10ish.

Michael to go!

SiYuan · 28th May 2008, 14:53

Hey Brad. I dont understand why I've been playing black for the last three rounds?

Hectic · 28th May 2008, 14:54

3Sixty where are you?

SiYuan · 28th May 2008, 15:14

He was out of time.

So a rematch? Or a win?

crappycraperson · 28th May 2008, 15:24

If you have time, we can always complete it. I didn't even knew about time and at that move, I was only 30 secs in making the move.

Farce

Brad · 28th May 2008, 15:38

Crappy, you take too long to make your moves for this competition. To have seemingly progressed so little in that game, and to run out of time with 10 minutes on the clock and 15 second increments... thats plenty enough. SiYuan is through

p.s SiYuan, you're black simply by the luck of the draw. If it helps, you're gunna be white against Hectic or 3sixty, though you'd be back to black in the final should you progress

Two more games to go, lets be having them

McCool vs Cornell
Mclovin vs Brad

Crappy vs Si Yuan
Hectic v 3Sixty

McCool · 28th May 2008, 18:50

Lets be 'avin you then, Cornell

Cornell · 29th May 2008, 04:34

It's definately going to be today.

I'll be alert and on the Caf.

Cornell · 29th May 2008, 12:12

Let it be known I'm here and ready to play. Although I can't stick around forever. Places to go, people to see.

Edit: I'll be back in a few hours.
