I'll display this in a bracket within a day or two. Does this this tournament have a preferred game? (Previous has been witch, and that's what is to be ultimately be played if going for the WC crown).
 
Looks like I'm playing SuperSam1 (the one who just promoted another pawn to get three queens in infinite chess against me).😡

Preferred game is witch, but only old (6+ months old) pieces like witches, bulldogs, angels, etc. should be used.

Thanks for waiting. I’ll be able to make it after the break for sure! 

Sure thing!  Let us know when you're ready. I'll see if evert823 can play by then.

I'm inviting the Old Guard of Bulldog, that is @evert823, @Martin0, @vickalan, @Junebug444, @unc07, 2 wild cards @WhoEverNonOGJoinsFirst and @whoeverjoinssecond, and myself to an eight player knockout tourney.  Pairings by Swiss Method, seedings by rating.  Wild cards must have been playing for at least 3 months.

evert823 can play in two weeks, so no donkey256 necessary. Tournament is full. We will start in 2 weeks.

Final pairings:

vickalan vs. TheGreatAuk

evert823 vs. unc07

JohnHS vs. HorusTheThird

Junebug444 vs. SuperSam1

thegreatauk blundered his Wild Goat

I am ready to play. And the fact I blundered my Wild goat doesn't count. It was a new piece so I have to get used to it.

TGA vs June

Jjnebug444 wins!!!!!!!

TGA is #2 and a CM.  I think he's the clear favorite.  All of these are pretty easy to predict except me vs. Horus (could go either way), and maybe I've got a chance vs. Junebug444, but I doubt it.

Avatar of JohnHS

If anyone wants to start his game, go ahead.  evert823 and Junebug444 will start their respective games in 2 weeks.  Could someone mod my game with Horus?  I'm traveling and have to use a tablet.

Had a long day today. I'll make it tomorrow.

Who is playing a game other than bulldog with witch?

@thegreatauk: what game would you like to play? I'm happy with witch, but will try some older piece if you'd like to try.

Avatar of thegreatauk

How about Dwarf and Witch with Bulldogs?

You are a rookie? Interesting... Well you have not played a single game for a long, long time.
