Not that there's anything wrong with the current setup, but what would you guys think about a more compact (safer) setup. I also added the archbishop (moves like bishop + knight).

 

Oh I just realized this isn't safe the rook could be trapped on move 2 tongue.png

How could it be trapped?
HorribleTomato

Hmm, my mistake, I based it on the current setup, where the bishop can attack the rook very early meh.png

There is also a pawn that can move forward to block the diagonal. It is true though that there are a weakness there.

SuperSam1

That was a weird win. I won on time vs. Farmer2013 and Vickalan withdrew for our first game, meaning I only really played one game.

vickalan

I withdrew from one game because I was on the bracket twice. This tournament started when it was hard to find players, and some new players were unreliable and just disappeared (like your win when Farmer was a no-show).

Even after the tournament started a lot of new talent has developed. @HorribleTomato, @captaintugwash, and @Naviary, to name a few.😱

I'm ready to see some new top-talent games. Wondering if any will take six months again (or more).😨

vickalan

In the meantime, @SuperSam1 currently holds the crown:

SuperSam1

Who is the next challenger? I accept their challenge.

Naviary

I mean I would love to challenge, but do I have that right? Me, Tomato and captaintugwash are very close at the top of the ratings list!

Naviary

I did just win on time vs Yo-thats-fresh, does that improve my rating?
