Chess League Round 1 (Please read entire thread)

[Unownasofyet]

You can still sign up!

Submit your games for game of the round when you are done!

Start your games by PMing your opponent. You have as much time as said in the rules to complete your game.

Please refer to http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54277 for rules. You may sign up at any time, although you will be starting off at 0 points.

After some thought, I have decided to run a point based circuit, with wins being worth 1 point, draws worth half a point, and losses worth no points. If their is a short draw problem then I will make wins worth more. There will be no tournament, so anyone can join any round. Also, if two games are done early then I might pair winners and losers early. Check this thread often!

[moot]

[matty]

Ya wait, this round we are free to do whatever correct?

And then next round we are forced to play with the Gambit?

 

[Amelia]

[Unownasofyet]

thanks for the log

You can use whatever openings you want this round for some clarification.

 

[Toothache]

Whenever Stathakis is ready to play just let me know. I have an account at gameknot.com, which might be an easy place for anyone to run a game from.

EDIT: oops forgot to add my account name. Its toothache42

 

[Bungalow Bill]

Yeah, I'm on gameknot.com as well, so if moot wants to play there, that's fine by me. I'm on there as maxwelledison.

 

[Stathakis]

making a gameknot account etc. we'll get it done soon im sure.

 

[Thorns]

Dude, I'm not playing.
ps go stathakis

 

[Unownasofyet]

Okay, I will play in your spot. Sign up again in a different round to come back in.

 

[THE_IRON_...KENYAN?]

Hey American dream since this is correspondance I am going to pm you my moves.


Otherwise sign up on CHESSMANIAC.COM and my username is HxDxE

 

[Arcticblast]

I asked iKitsune what color he wanted to be. THEN I saw the thing saying white/black. Unownasofyet, please excuse my flunk (and hope my opponent does too.)

 

[Toothache]

Stathakis when you're ready, lets begin

 

[Pyromanic]

I missed the white and black thing to.

 

[Unownasofyet]

don't worry if you miss the white/black thing.

Are there any suggestions for themes for future rounds? It would be cool if we had some more ideas then crazy gambits.

 

[theamericandream38]

Hey American dream since this is correspondance I am going to pm you my moves.

Yeah, PMing moves is fine. I received two PMs from you already but none of them had moves in them :/

 

[Wes]

I wonder how I could have missed this. I would really like to compete.

*goes to check the Sicilian wing gambit*

EDIT: is the notation for the knight a K, N or Kt?

 

[Arcticblast]

Knight is N (ex. Nc5)

capturing is anything like Qxd4, but not sure bout pawn captures.

 

[Pyromanic]

Pawn capture: exd4, dxe3

 

[Unownasofyet]

pawn captures can be listed either as dxe5 (pawn on d4 takes pawn or piece on e5), de5, or de. En passant capturing is listed as normal (de6 e.p. would be pawn on d5 takes pawn on e5 En passant), but with an e.p. next to the move.

 

[matty]

Get going you knobs. I wanna play again :|

 

[theamericandream38]

THE IRON KENYAN still has yet to PM an actual move (he is white), which is unfortuante because I was looking forward to playing some games :/

EDIT: OK, we've begun to play.

 

[dachickens]

I hate Sicilian >,< But I'll join anyways lol.
