Posted by jootoo on Thursday, Jan 22 at 7:33am

Hi, the 100th player join and then this tournament start.

I like to share the below information with you, please ignore it if you know it before.

this is the knock-out tournament, you will play two games with your opponent (one white & one black), the winner will go to next round, or two of you go to next round if tie.

Sometimes your opponent do not show up and you win on time, it is quite normal at tournament, you will go to next round.

But if both players in the same group do not show up and tie, then they go to next round, it is not fair for other winner go to next round after playing tough games, so I will remove these 2 players, for this case.

Winners:

#1 1st Place WallyH (1569) United States

#2 2nd Place Germancaesar (1475) United States

#3 3rd Place tigerrr (1389) United States

what is going on here, in between the time that this tournament started and the moment of posting this, my rating went up 500 points :|. this just takes waay to long >.<.

 

i'll probably withdraw because of my rating sooner or later, but i actually like playing chess and rather not quit a tournament, especially since everyone can be a challenge to play.

aah the wonderous world of chess :)

 

anyways back to topic, hurry this up already!

In game 3, anotherhobby is on vacation. We all need a break but I feel that tourny's in the future should be elimate players after 1 week.

yes, a little slower than my expect, I expect the 1st round need 40 days, and 2nd round would be faster, say 20 days

it doesnt matter as long as you were within the ranks at the time of signup, im at 1330 now but there is alot of wins by time , you cant be too worried about the rankings just go for the gold and have fun, and maybe even learn something , thatsd all we can ask of ourselves. life is too short to worrry about simplicicities like the ranking s in a tournament, your rating is going to fluctuate always.   JUST DO WORK SON !  peace out yall
