Really bad.  The winner of our 2nd round group has closed his account for cheating.  I was the second, but I couldn't play for the third round.

Congrats to those winners of the first round! 

I hope the players still playing the first round play a little faster.  Don't let the whole team wait for you for too long.  Wink

 

BTW, How did some players get 7 wins? (Please check the standings.)  I guess there are some bugs.

I thought I'd give chess 960 a go. Sorry folks I don't like it. It's clearly very skilled - but give me normal chess any day.

You have to think and analysed from the very first move. There are no mechanical moves! A great tribute to Bobby Fischer! No one can help you in this type of chess! You have to think for your self! Great!

Now everyone should know what Chess960 is.

Seems that we have the same opening position for the whole tournament.  Am I correct?   At least seems that the four bishops are all at the corners.

You are right, Defacto.  It makes it really hard to learn from the master's games.

i thought that not all games have same pieces settings....i thought that every game has differently placed pieces
