The candidates starts before the challenge game is over to make the championship cycle shorter. The winner of the candidates will face the champion regardless whether it is me or McGoohan.
Bulldog Candidates Tournament #3 !!!
Sort:
Good luck to everyone in the candidates!

I would like to play but currently have no analysis tool. Martin's program is running errors, and I can't find the musketeer board tool for some reason (google not doing it). Does anyone have a link for the latter?

Predictions
Holo beats evert
Tug beats patzer
Tug beats holo
Martin/McGoohan beats Tug
I am unsure of why I was selected, but I'm not about to miss a spot in this.
Tug ain’t have no chance against me
Some stats from the players:
| Player | Rating | Rank | Current Win Streak |
Win | Draw | Loss | Winrate | Best Win |
| evert823 | 1597 | 2 | 8 | 50 | 4 | 24 | 67% | 1547 (thegreatauk) |
| HolographWars | 1578 | 3 | 0 | 19 | 0 | 5 | 79% | 1532 (rychessmaster1) |
| captaintugwash | 1572 | 4 | 4 | 11 | 1 | 3 | 77% | 1543 (rychessmaster1) |
| JustARandomPatzer | 1356 | 9 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 2 | 60% | 1629 (rychessmaster1) |
The other one was when I missed a mate-in-one.
Have I not played Holo?
I look forward to playing Holo.
I beat auk, but I was lucky to beat him. My attack was brilliant, if only I had planned it! I stumbled upon a winning tactic, rather than playing for it.
Why isn't auk being considered for this? No offence to patzer, but surely auk has a higher rating?

Ah, well that does mean you're deserving of at least consideration. Well done, he's strong. I won't be underestimating you!
But... nope. My rating is higher, for some reason.

Auk did blunder, but I think I was slightly better anyway. I did get lucky against you though. Then again, you only got that position because I screwed up in the opening.
No offense to Patzer, but he only beat Auk and me because we both made stupid blunders(and I’m not spending a lot of time on bulldog chess anymore as well)
Ry might have beaten me if he didn't blunder by offering me a draw when a pawn up.
Cheers for the link.

If I remember correctly, Auk was in the last two candidates tournaments. A contender can't just keep challenging the champion over and over again. But he definitely can appear again in the future.
The Bulldog Chess Federation has selected the four players who will play in the bulldog candidates tournament #3.
The winner of this tournament becomes eligible to challenge the bulldog World Champion (currently @Martin0) for the crown.
(@Martin0 is currently being challenged for the crown by @McGoohan in a game which can be seen here).
The four players selected for the next tournament (#3) are as follows:
@HolographWars
@captaintugwash
@JustARandomPatzer
@evert823
Note that the federation chooses players based on ELO score, and also merit based on trend in recent games. Player etiquette can also be a factor - for example players known for talking about moves in games may be excluded.
Before the Candidates Tournament begins, I need the four selected players to confirm they will play. evert823 has confirmed.
@HolographWars, @captaintugwash, and @JustARandomPatzer: please confirm that you are able to play. Once this is done, I will announce the tournamant format.
Someday, a player will rise-up and Martin0 will lose his domination of owning the bulldog crown!!!😆😈😆😈😆😈
