This is a small tournament for experienced players. It will feature a piece combination other than the witch and guard. This time it is witch and hunter. If this turns popular I will start more tournaments similar to this.

 

Rules:

Players with a bulldog chess rating of 1300 or above may enter.

Just say "join" to enter. First 4 players to join gets to participate.

The games will be bulldog chess with witch and hunter. Rules for the witch can be found here. Rules for the hunter can be found here. The starting position can be seen below:

Games will be rated and follow the correspondence rules posted here.

This is a single elimination tournament, where the winners in round 1 will play in the finals. The losers in round 1 will play for 3rd place.

If a player loses by timeout in the first round, then a third place match will not be held and the player losing by timeout gets 4th place.

If a game ends in a draw, then the players will play a new game with reverse colors.

After pairings have been posted a player will have 14 days to show up. Failing to show up within those 14 days may result in the game being lost by forfeit (however, the player should also receive a warning at least three days prior to the player losing by forfeit).

The pairings for the first round will be randomized.

Colors will be picked mainly for even color distribution (aiming for players to have equally many white and black games).

The tournament will start after 4 players have registered.

Good luck to all participants!

captaintugwash

Wait, I don't want to play with the hunter. I withdraw, sorry.

captaintugwash

I've not played with the hunter before, it's not too different from a guard.

Ok, I'll join, sorry to be a pain.

The idea I had for this tournament was to feature piece combinations other than witch and guard.

PandasAwesome

hmm, this is interesting.

 

captaintugwash

I'm ok with it. It's nice to play with different pieces now and then anyway, and I like the idea of mixing it up.

PandasAwesome

@deeper_thinking, you are an unrated player, not close to the 1300 rating required.

No, I will not let you join this tournament.

 

3 players have joined! One spot remaining.

PandasAwesome

Ooh, maybe Martin will join!

landontu

I'll join

captaintugwash

Awesome, my chance for revenge!

captaintugwash

I always assumed it was LANDONTU but actually it could be IANDONTU

Which is correct?

captaintugwash

Oh yeah, Landon is an American name. There's a football player called Landon Donovan. 

 

And by football, I mean football, not eggball.

captaintugwash

Landon means "long hill". Strange name. 

My name is Matthew, which means "gift from God". 

landontu

Yes, it's Landon Tu
