Final Speedy Vote Game - Sat 12PM GMT!

Submitted by Narz on Fri, 08/07/2009 at 8:27am.

The admin from the Power of Chess messaged me informing me he wanted to play our final speed game this Saturday (12PM GMT).  I figured that would be fine so I agreed.

However a day later I realized I would be gone all weekend & that it wasn't practical but he told me he ended up telling his whole team it was on for then.

So I told him that if he insisted we'd play at that time.  So hopefully at least a few of you guys can show & at least one or two can be online during the whole game.  I imagine our chances to be pretty small against such a huge team but it will be fun nonetheless & I will try to sign in when I can.

I will send them the challenge since I won't be online to receive it.  If you can, try to check it out & vote while it's in progress.  Thanks!

yeah I saw that it started in the middle of the night (for the vast majority of our players), pretty shady on the Power of Chess's part since he insisted it start at 7AM and then they accepted my challenge in the middle of the night.  Ah well, these speed games are a bit too extreme anyway.  Was a fun tournament but I don't think I'd enter us in one again.

It looks like this started at midnight GMT Friday night / Saturday morning.  Someone was online to get one move played and then we lost on time.  Frown

Oh well, the rapid games were a struggle to participate in at the best of times.

Our teammate nicetoall said he could jump in around two hours after the game starts so if any of you guys can vote once every 20 min. for the first six moves (from 12PM GMT to 2PM) until he shows up (and after he arrives) that'd be great.  I'd hate to timeout right in the beginning.

So remember, Saturday 12PM GMT, be there if you can! Smile
