Congratulations to JustBeforeDawn and Geoffb01 for being the only two left standing at the end of 4 rounds!! I'm not sure how Chess.com will determine who gets the 3rd place trophy, but it's obvious that both of these accomplished players will be sporting a Dark Knight Custom Trophy in their Showcase!! One of them will even be moving on to The Dark Knight Finals with a whole different set of trophies up for grabs!!
Good Luck to both of you in Round 5, and don't forget to OPEN WITH YOUR DARK KNIGHT!!!

The Dark Knight Opens 7/18
This could very easily be the absolute best Batman movie ever made! I simply cannot wait. I guarantee you won't see me playing any of my games within the first few hours of this tournament cuz I will be in the theater watching the movie.
You don't need to be a Batman fan to join this tournament. You just have to agree that in your games as black, your first move is either Nc6, Nf6, Na6, or Nh6. In other words, "The Dark Knight Opens."
Since this is my 1st time as a Tournament Host, I welcome all 1st time Tournament Players. This tournament is open to EVERYONE regardless of your stats.
The response to this idea has been so great that I have started The Dark Knight Opens (group 2). In keeping with the 4->1 format, the top 4 players in each group will get an invitation to "The Dark Knight Finals." All games in both groups will begin the moment the movie is released in my time zone.
If you are registered in one group PLEASE DO NOT register in the other! Think of them as 2 separate groups of the same tournament.
Thanks for playing along with this crazy idea. I look forward to a fun tournament.
