Tournament Summary - Chess on an Infinite Plane

He blundered a queen, so I got kinda lucky. Not my best play ever, but I'll take the win. 

Wow, you guys played fast. I haven't even looked at the game yet, but I will soon.

Congratulations to HorribleTomato for the win.😯😀

Tomato advances to round-2 and will play the winner of @gamebooker14 vs. @gyrados06.

I just started the thread for that game (here).

4 days. If you compare my gameplay to yours or pins, you'll see some crazy differences.

I started game-1 (@ChessNerd1836 vs. @captaintugwash) of the tournament (here).

All games have now been started, and one is complete. Here's a status:

<game-1> ChessNerd1836 vs. captaintugwash (starts now)
<game-2> hitthepin vs. vickalan (in progress)
<game-3> gamebooker14 vs. gyrados06 (in progress)
<game-4> aronian22 vs. HorribleTomato (Tomato Wins!)

Thanks for everyone showing-up and playing!😀😀😀

2020 Tournament update:

<game-1> captaintugwash won against ChessNerd1836 (here)
<game-2> hitthepin vs. vickalan is in progress (here)
<game-3> gyrados06 won against gamebooker14 (here)
<game-4> HorribleTomato won against aronian22 (here)

gyrados06 and HorribleTomato have both advanced, so they will play each other in the round-2 game (game-6). Gyrados has played his last two games as Black, so he will take White in this game. I'll start the game on June 13 or soon after.

aww yeah

i could mod it

This is an interesting concept. You should hold tournaments and games more often.

Ok that's great. I think gyrados is ready to play so you can begin anytime. Gyrados - are you ok with the Tomato's board display style? (example in link above). It looks great except he displays more files so the pieces appear smaller.

In this last tournament we had eight players. Maybe we'll get more in the future for more games? If you'd like to play let me know. If there's two players I can mod, or if no one then I'll be happy to have a another game (non-tournament).

Sure, I'd be happy to play a game.

Yeah I'm ok. Its just that the pieces are a bit grainy. 

I'll start our game tomorrow. If it's ok I'd like to play non-rated (doesn't affect our win/loss record).

All of Tomato's posts have disappeared. I'm not sure what happened. We'll have to wait a few days to see if he comes back. I hope it's a mistake, and he wasn't banned from chess.com.

He was muted.

Does anyone know why? I've never seen him spam or be rude to anyone.

Idk.

@thegreatauk said he will be unmuted in 24 hours.

I've been muted by accident before, they fixed it quickly but it can happen.

Auk is correct. Honestly, the reason why he got muted is a little complicated. Suffice to say that he should be back pretty soon.

Tomato, your account is restored, right? Are you able to play your game (see post #352, #353). I can mod the game if you'd like. Your choice.
