Tomato... rejoin infinite chess.

Here's a final blog from me before I go, including a lot of my favorite music for those who'd love to listen.

I have an idea to decide the next champion. Because the title is vacated and not outright won, then perhaps we should have four of us play a mini league.

fyi: I don't really consider the Title vacated. Naviary still holds the Title as World Champion, with Tug holding the distincion of drawing against Naviary in a Title game.
For Tug's idea, it would require six games, with a possible tiebreaker necessary.
(players ABCD): AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD.
My preference would be to hold a candidates tournament with 4 players excluding Tug (similar to bulldog). This would be three games.
The winner (X) plays Tug, as Tug is currently a "stand-in" for the WC. (a fourth game).
Then the winner of (X) vs. (Tug) can challenge Naviary for the WC Title.
Whether Naviary is present at that time is to be seen. He may announce he is in temporary retirement, in which case the Title is transferred to winner of (X) vs. (Tug).
(This is just my idea, and I can be persueded otherwise).
Good luck on your journey Naviary!!!😥😃😥😃😥😃
Sounds good to me. If I win my game, and nav isn't around to defend his title, I'm ok with becoming champion that way, because I still earned it with a win.
Ok so like Ry says: Ry, Tomato, gyrados, and I probably are the four strongest active players (to decide who challenges Tug). I've played Ry and am playing Gyrodos now. So tournament can be:
[[Game-1]] vickalan vs Tomato
[[Game-2]] Ry vs Gyrados
(I'm not sure yet how to decide who takes White in each game).
Other ideas? These games seem to last a long time, so I don't think it matters too much when we start. But if we're committing to this tournament, maybe first games must start within a month?
Yes, that would be ok with me. So maybe this:
[[Game-1]] vickalan vs Ry
[[Game-2]] Tomato vs Gyrados
We should discuss this (here).
lol - if you play chess and want to try a variant, some other game might be better for you. There's one slot still open in the Mega-dog tournament. Check (here).
Nice graphic! It almost makes me want to move my queen to infinity!
