The Mega_dog tournament

@dax00 is correct. @evert823, you have already won against @greypenguin. That is why your profile picture is in the box of that match. (you won by timeout)

Where is your game against chessplayerwithskilz?

It has not started yet, I just finished my game against vickalan.

Martin0 did finish his game against me, and he did win (I resigned on move 57). Martin, Tug (and Ry a little) were nice enough to leave some comments at the end which I appreciate (game is here). Again, Congratulations to Martin0.

I'm now in the loser's bracket, and it appears I play Togishere.

Togishere, are you here and ready to play?

I have sent a private message to my opponent @ChessPlayerwithskilz, but he has not responded and was last online 6 days ago. How long time should we give players to show up before losing by forfeit?

3 games have not yet started. We are waiting for @ChessPlayerwithskilz, @Togishere and @HolographWars. The match for ry and holo is in a later round, so that game might not need a deadline yet. Not sure why Holo has not posted here yet though.

a week?

I was thinking at least 14 days, since 14 days is the amount of vacation time allowed in a game.

I suggest: maximum 14 days since the end of the last relevant game; if online before that runs out, maximum 3 days plus a time warning (to respond & acknowledge start of game), like for any normal move.

"since the end of the last relevant game" sounds kind of bad. It must be from the time they get notified. A result does not always get posted here the same day a game finishes.

I agree with 14 days. The 14 days starts at the first request on this topic announcing the game can begin. At least on more request to show up, and one direct message must be sent, and these must be sent at least three days prior to the player losing by forfeit.
(my suggestion).

I got a response from my opponent that he is ready. Game is here:

https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-variants/mega-dog-round-2-martin0-chessplayerwithskilz

Sounds good to me. In this case I posted the pairings here on October 16, so your opponent has until October 30 to show up.

@JustARandomPatzer won against @thegreatauk. The first game to end by timeout after all 3 timeout warnings had been used (instead of 4th warning, auk lost).

@JustARandomPatzer becomes the first player to advance to the final in the winners bracket. I don't think anyone expected him to come this far. Good job.

@thegreatauk moves down to the losers bracket.

Huh

Thanks Martin

I'll be happy to mod. I'll start the game tomorrow (either late Sunday, or mid-day Monday).

Btw, if I win against Togishere, it looks like I'll be playing the winner of your game. (My game with Togi has not started yet - I'm waiting to see if he's here).

This tournament is closed to new players. If there's anyone else who wants to play I can mod a game (outside of the tournament). If you're a beginner we should look for another beginner or intermediate player.

Game #20 (rychessmaster1 vs. HolographWars) is (here).
