Chess games

Does anyone know has the admin for this thread (@Electrospective) been banned? Because i can't send him any more private messages, and this is what it says on his profile?

In which case can someone else take over his role as the administrator of this forum. I am still trying to contact @EnglishMuon to arrange my second game!!


@13 1 20 8 42 would you consider taking over the admin of this competition, if there is enough consensus for you to do this?

Thanks John R.

I would certainly assume that Electrospective has been banned given those facts.

Maybe. I'm not sure if everybody who wanted to be included is included, and what the intended structure was. Perhaps we could organise something with a more definite structure and give people a bit of time to "register" or not.

On second thoughts, rather than set up a new tournament, if you think that there are people who want to get in on this one, please send me their details, and i will set up extra first round games, to progress them through to the second round, rather than having to invalidate any of the games we have had so far, which would be unprofessional, and simply unfair to those of us who have already had positive results!

Tbh I don't remember anyone in particular. And I suppose there are only a couple of rounds left (assuming this set is considered to be quarter-finals). I just dislike how there's no set number of games to a match or set time control for each game or anything like that, and no groups/formula for who plays who next, and that some people won one round first while others joined in in a second round.

Okay, like i said in my pm to you, there are some things a bit fishy about this present tournament set up, but i still would like those of us with games remaining,, to be given the chance to play them out, to determine the results of this one, before we set up a new tournament. (please check your message board for further details thanks!)

No-one's just joined the second round....



Hey, what's the issue? If there's any issues you could have always PM'd me...although that might not have been the easiest thing to do today....Also, this was never meant as a serious tournament, even though it could be if you wanted it to.....

Okay me and 13 suggest that we continue to play through the rest of games as per the schedule, and use a time limit of 15 minutes per game each way, unless the two players mutually agree to something else, also no rematches and no takebacks (again unless both players agree otherwise). Does this sound okay with everyone??

That's fine by me. Although me and @umar39 played one game with a time limit of 20 minutes.....

I did win my first round :ninja :

They haven't? I thought Irrational Root joined in the second round and maybe umar...I dunno.

I don't care that much; perhaps I have given the impression that the seriousness of this tournament is paramount to me. I am happy to finish this tournament and it isn't a prime concern.. (plenty of chess can be played outside of it of course)

Sorry electrospective, my opponent is ignoring me. How long do i have to wait before i can claim a victory by default? PS I have also written him private messages and he is ignoring me there too!

that's fine, was that scheduled, and do you want to winner to go on to the second round? Who won btw? 15 or 20 minutes, unless otherwise agreed by the two players. Thanks

I didn't remember when you joined tbh lol.
By the way I might be out tomorrow with regards to 7pm game. I'm free the majority of the time.

In order to progress to the second round, you have to win a first round game. This sounds fair enough to me okay 13? And if the numbers don't add up, we will arrange something like playoffs to settle it okay?

This really shouldn't be that difficult for university students for hells sake!
