1. Jubal
2. Comrade_General (Withdrawn)
3. Nightangel
4. Marcus
5. Phoenixguard
6. stormcloud
7. Son Of The King
8. Ladyhawk
Everyone needs to play everyone else, so that can happen at any speed and in any order. Once everyone's had all seven games, we'll go to semi-finals for the top four. Also, if it becomes impossible for you to get into the top four you're not obliged to play your remaining games (but you can if you wish of course!).
Points Count:
Jubal - 9
Nightangel - 0
Marcus - 1
Phoenixguard
stormcloud - 1
Son Of The King - 5
Ladyhawk
Who's played who (players should end up with all numbers other than their own):
1 Jubal (3, 4, 7, 6)
2 Ladyhawk
3 Nightangel (1)
4 Marcus (1, 7)
5 Phoenixguard
6 stormcloud (1, 7)
7 Son Of The King (1, 4, 6)

I'd be interested, I like playing chess, even though I suck at it against a half way competent player. :P
-
What's the difference between knockout and round robin? [/toolazytogoogle]
-
Well if you lose in a knockout tourney, you're knocked out. Round robin, you just calculate points.
And yeah, I'd give it a shot. Over some sort of computer version right? Or do you want me to book a return flight to England? :P
-
PG if your going to England, YOU ARE TAKING ME WITH YOU YOUNG MAN!! Dont care if I have to hide in your suitcase.
-
Yeah, sadly a computer version, there are lots of programs for it now on 'tinternets.
A round robin we'd play for a certain number of rounds, calculating at 3 for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss. We could then take the top four and go to semis with 1stv3rd and 2ndv4th. That sound good?
-
Double elimination are probably my favourite in terms of number of matches/fairness, but round robin is cool if we only have a few contenders.
I'll totally play even though I haven't played chess since childhood
-
I'm game I guess. Though I'd rather play Hearts. :)
-
This sounds fun I play from time to time but I've never played any one who's any good.
Sounds like a fun challenge.
-
I'm in :D
-
That's 7... you in or out, LH?
-
It appears that she'd even take a trip to England to be involved Jubal. ;)
-
I wont be any good at ALL but okay.
-
So what's the logistics here?
Is there some kind of program we can use or will it be C4 to D4 with diagrams and such.
-
A program would be nice. Believe it or not, there is an SMF chess mod, but it's for a very outdated version, unfortunately.
Just looking for a P2P chess app.
Edit: Jubal found a site, woo!
Oh, and I'm happy to play anyone tonight if they have the time, until 8pm GMT.
-
And so it begins! Everyone needs to play everyone precisely once, so just do your matches as you wish in whatever order. :)
-
Exclusive update! Jubal has won.
-
I'm out.
-
Hey, just wondering, how do the points work? Oh and did we end up going with double elimination or round robin?
-
:O I'm too late. :'(

Round Robin by the looks of things
-
3 for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss. And it's a round robin, you just need to play every other player and announce your results. Khan, do you want to replace CG, since he's decided he'd rather be out?
-
:D Really? YAY!!! Actually, it does sound good but I don't have that free time on my hands. :(
-
Ok then. Sooooooo, who wants a game then? You'll probably win. :P
-
Removed the results from CG's games, since obviously if other people can't play him they can't get the points (or lack of 'em) from those games.
-
I'm available for games all evening guys :) .
-
Beat stormy, lost to SOTK.
Do get playing & reporting games guys!
-
It's not over yet, but SOTK is going to win.
-
Your game, or the Tournament? ;)
-
Amend that, stalemate.
-
That was a very good game. Stupid castling ruining my plans :P .
-
Just beat NA , pretty good match. :)
-
Thank you I thought I was a bit predictable and rubbish.
-
Nightangel or Ladyhawk, check your PMs for a link to play chess with me. The first one gets the game. :)
-
Stalemate with Stormcloud :)
-
SOTK was stalemate'd http://en.lichess.org/analyse/591htj7q
-
Watching my opening move again makes me want to cry :( .
-
Anyone want a game? Probably one you'll win? :D
-
Sure thing!
-
We should really try and get on with this. :P
-
OK, I'll unpin this. Claiming some vague victory with the highest average score, but we should try again and do it properly sometime. :P
-
Indeed.
