Chess Tournament Signups

Post by Bwarch »

DO NOT POST IF YOU ARE NOT SIGNING UP.

Single elimination tournament. You lose you're out, you win you go on. We'll figure out how to organize the bracket once everybody is signed up.

We'll be using http://en.lichess.org/ for the matches.

5 minutes per side, 5 increments, random color. Like so

This signup thread will be open for three days and close sometime November 15th.

I shall be joining myself.

Come one, come all! :D

P.S. Visit lichess.org and make sure you can use it, if anybody has problems with the site running we can try and find alternatives for each match.

P.S.S. For anybody who needs an explanation on what the heck an increment is (because I needed to experiment myself to figure it out) an increment determines how much seconds you gain back when your turn is over. Pretty simple.

I'll signup if it happens after the 20th (on my side of the dateline, 19th in America). If it happens before then I can't join in.

I'll try it. How will we know if we're facing someone from the Talkhaus if we're anonymous, though?

Heck yeah!
I've been getting more into chess (and Go) lately, so this is a perfect opportunity to test my skills a little bit. I won't be able to play any matches before this Sunday, but I don't think that should be a problem.

Oh, also: Can we please not play speed chess? I don't know how much of an impact those "increments" will have, but 5 minutes for each side for an entire game is AWFULLY little IMHO.
That'll just make the gaps between the good players who can overlook most situations within a few seconds and the beginners who need 2 or 3 minutes to evaluate each move unnecessarily huge.
I'd suggest at the very least 30 minutes for each player.

Allright, I'll be retracting my signup for this round because of Blitz Chess.
Maybe next time!

I guess I'll sign up but it really depends on when this is happening, because with my luck it'll happen when I'm doing other stuff. :V
Because Touhou OCs can in fact exist, sounds fake I know.

I can't change my username but I go by Vali/Claire now (aka call me Vali or Claire at your leisure ^^).

I never update this currently playing section anymore, it's probably an RPG or something.

Yeah ok I guess. I'm kind of afraid about timezones and schedules stuff though.
