3rd Annual CFC Chess Tourney!!

[Narz]

I just want to make sure about this. If I get second place in my group, do I still advance to the next round?

Yeah, top two in every group advance.

Umm, seriously, though - what happens if a player doesn't make any moves in the 14 days?

They die in real life!

j/k. They lose on time for that game.

Very fast game there between colinf and CFCLove

 

[WhiteEagle22]

So far, I'm waiting on moves in 1 of my games, another 2 are just starting, and the rest (including non-tourney games) are pretty darn even I would have to say. One game is near 20 moves, usually I get beaten by the 15th...so that one may take a while.

Late night brainstorm against Chamnix, and forgot a fork I had been monitoring for what seemed like half the game....

 

[bathsheba666]

emailed mrjoker, to see where he's got to...

Hmm... and exactly what am I supposed to do with it ? I'm looking forward to seeing a computer/Panzar analysis after this one...

 

[bathsheba666]

If only I'd kept my mouth shut I might have looked quite clever with this one.
It was a complete brainfart.

I knew my queen could capture the knight, so safe;
then put my rook where the queen couldn't protect it after taking the knight.
What's even funnier, I almost resigned before going to bed.

It was basic frustration after being confined behind my pawns.
After the queen i got demob happy.

mowque is on vacation! How can I play that game, when my opponent took vacation time?

 

[Kennigit]

I feel Chamnix is about to put a beat down on me, and bathsheba only needs some time .

Relax, he'll be back. Vacation is allowed.

 

[WhiteEagle22]

He took vacation though in the very beginning...at least I should be able to concentrate on that game when he comes back. I think I'm going to lose against LoneWolfEburg, but that's only right, as he's ranked way above me (1634 vs. 1113). I'm hoping to win a few of my other games, so I can get some rank back.

Life happens. So far most of the games are moving pretty rapidly along, I'm sure he'll make up for lost time upon return.

Wolfy's no joke. I gotta stay on my toes against him!

I'm hoping to win a few of my other games, so I can get some rank back.

Good luck!

Damn, Sashie is currently handing my ass to me on a silver platter...
Do I really suck that much or is he that good?

Sashie's good. Totally had my pieces going in circles while he picked them off.

 

[stwils]

This is my first tournament and I will say it is a Baptism of Fire!

Are you glad you decided to enter last minute?

You should analyze all your games post-mortem.

 

[WhiteEagle22]

I'll be sure to post all my games (both tourney and non-tourney) here for analysis. See where I need to improve!

Edit: Looks like I lost another game! My rank dropped to 1014!

 

[WhiteEagle22]

Found out I lost my non-tourney game against petergrimes. Posted it in the other thread for post-game analysis. Here's a link to the game.

 

[Kennigit]

Ok, yeah, I've definitely lost.
