Tell you what.

Sometimes, in these tournaments, we will have contestants who are simply no-shows from the very beginning.

I'll be contacting contestants who haven't started their match in 3 weeks, which should be plenty of time for them to decide on their Bulldog variant pieces and to get started. If they need more time than this, I'm sure they'll contact me in PM.

Until then, if a round-1 match by that time contains a member who turns out to be no show, then you may step in to take the spot of the gone participant.

(I can't speak to anyone's no-show potential here, as 5 out of the 7 are those of whom I, and you I'm sure, have known to be outstanding and dedicated Bulldog players in the past. And, both of the other two contestants of whom I'm not familiar do seem to show some eagerness for commitment. Still, it's always a possibility that, for some reason or other, someone couldn't show their face on the Earth anymore; and make us wonder what had happened to him/her.)

Is this something you can work with?

Round 2, Match 5 - @VM_LeaderAbhyudaya (White) versus @ComradM (Black)

Round 2, Match 6 - @Marks1420 (White) versus @Pootzies (Black)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Contestants, for the Second round, please discuss and consent with your opponent on one or two new Bulldog piece that neither of you had used in the first round. It must be a new piece which has not yet been deployed by either.

Additionally, you may optionally discuss and consent with your opponent on

1 - just one Bulldog piece which either of you have used in the previous first round to add to your second-round.

2 - one or more Bulldog pieces to replace the Queen and/or one or both Rooks. Once again, they must not have been used in the previous round by either.

3 - whether your like your Bulldog pieces on start square to be configured 180-degrees from each other or in synchronized formation (If no discussion of this is made, I will assume the default configuration of 180-degrees.)

Congrats to VM_LeaderAbhyudaya!

You have used excellent both the Witch and the Metamorph, and this pieces seem to help to produce an evergreen match.

If you like one of this pieces to be used again, then chose which one, and I will agree 100%. Let us discuss per PM which piece combination we should chose.

Ah, yes.

- Werewolf 

- Angel

- Time Thief

- Bulldog

- Spirit

- Ball, Barrier, Zombie, Builder, Hunter and Lumberjack do not have their own article but appear on the piece list here.

(As a word of caution, for those pieces that do have their own article, read about them in their own article. If you read about them in the piece list link, chances are, you might get a slightly outdated version of the officialized piece!)

Round 1, Match 2 - victory is @Pootzies (White), due to @PandasAwesome's (Black) resignation.

Nice game from the both of you!

@Pootzies will advance to round 2! Right now, we are simply waiting for match 4 to produce a victor; after which all players would have completed round 1.

Great progress from everyone! (Except probably me, for resigning too early!! And for lunkheadedly missing a blunder, which was a blunder itself. grin.png tongue.png)

@BattleChessGN18 The initial post probably needs to be updated with the result

They were updated two days ago. grin.png

Edit - Oh, you mean the victory in @Pootzies's and @PandasAwesome's match? That, I didn't update. I'll do that now.

2nd Edit - Done.

Hi… please confirm how the rating will be adjusted as @Martin0 hasn’t been online for over 40 days.
