Just so everyone knows...I originally thought this was SRR for total of four games each, but have found that it's DRR for eight games. Colors will come out even.

Thalarge: Sorry for my confusion and hope you were not offended.

Most of my moves will be between 8-11pm weekdays (USA Pacific Time)

May y'all enjoy the thrill of victory...though preferrably (and hopefully) not against me!!

Enjoy and have fun along the journey.

I posted to "SIngle RR Pairings - Colors" forum about the pairings on this tournament.

Thalarge:

Just curious about why the colors aren't evenly distributed except for two out of five.

Why Thalarge & Malko have 3 whites only 1 black?

Why Bpersell have 4 blacks and no whites?

Also...no response to my previous 447pm message shown below.

THALARGE: I'm projecting a "turn-chess" win (AllenWalker vs pilgrim68pdx) soon that will probably put me at approximately 1560-1570. If and when that happens, would that eliminate me from this tournament? If yes, feel free to eliminate me from your tournament before it starts. (The reason I joined this one today is because the others that I tried to join earlier today had a 50 completed games requirement.)
