Chess

Love the idea of a rapid evening tournament but no way I can commit at the moment (small baby).

Hey same as the other guys have said but just stick with it, as you mentioned playing three games at once can certainly take its toll so perhaps play some single games for a while before your next tournament

Weds is tricky for me too. It might be hard to get a date mutual to all, but best endeavours n'all that... I'll play if I'm free.

I would be up for it but can't do tonight either.

I'm also interested in a rapid tournament. Can't do Mondays, but generally after 8pm is ok

I just won a game with 96.0 accuracy. Probably a massive fluke / almost certainly a massive fluke

Congratulations to the winner of f&f 5 tournament and well played to everyone

ah dude. that wasn't even true at time of writing. but sadly I just won the last game when @duncs timed out. i was slightly on top. but he may have won it and you and I would have shared the honours.

so that tourney has come to a quiet end. I am gonna leave playing for a while though that was a good tourney.

Disappointed to time out, thought I had til the evening. Enjoyed the tourney and managed to sneak a couple of wins that I didn’t expect, and also snatched defeat from the jaws of victory a couple of times.
Need to learn some openings I think.

You would have won because you had better tie breaks
The second last game was great to watch my app is playing up so I couldn’t see the last game for some reason
Well done

ah cheers dude. wasn't sure how a tiebreak might have been affected had I lost to duncs. nice one dude.

great tourney. I lost games in every round and definitely think standard of play from the forum is on the rise. aka still hurting from losing to @mashton

Do we ever play tournaments against other teams?

don't thinks so. that would go against our rep as the unfriendliest forum on the internet rep.

besides. the one time we tried it was just bullshit. lots of timewasters online in every sphere.

Ok that’s a shame

that is hard to know

I mean a shame it didn’t work out previously

Dunno if this works, but nice puzzle:

Definitely, I'm pleased to have gotten it in one go.

I'll never beat 2000 bot, but the 1600 will do.

Time for another tournament?

Yes please.

There seems to be a new feature whereby when you finish a game you’re automatically entered into a weekly players league.

Think we looked into this before but I’m going to look later on desktop to see if we can set up on ongoing league for just us lot.

Here’s a game I was playing earlier but I didn’t know you could abort once play had started , so no points gained

I don’t think you can I reckon that’s a glitch
