*(waiting to confirm aronian will play)
The first game will start around March 18 (next Wed). I can mod all games, but I'll stagger them so one game starts about each week. Games will be staggered so players not currently playing anything will start first.
If anyone has a reason to change anything please let me know.
Am I due to play another game in this tournament? I kinda forgot about it.

I guess I'm not the only one waiting! There's no hurry, I just don't want it forgotten!
Oh yes - sorry I'm late to reply. Captaintugwash won against ChessNerd1836 in game-1, and hitthepin won against me in game 2. So the round-2 game is Tug vs. HTP. Tug won as Black, and HTP won as White, so Tug will play White in the round-2 game. I'll start the thread for that game tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.😑
I've seen both play, and I think they have much different styles. (Sadly, me watching HTP play was me losing to him)😅. Tug vs. HTP will be great game to watch.😀
Thanks Vick. If htp is ready, I'd be happy to start tomorrow, but if he's not ready I'm ok waiting for him.
I'm not gonna lie, I wanted you to win your game Vick because I want to play you, but I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later. I think I've played HTP already, though I guess it could've been bulldog.
Playing vickalan is always a pleasure. One of the originals both for bulldog chess and chess on an infinite plane. A lot of the things I am doing is inspired by him.
Infinite chess is my favourite variant, I might even like it more than classical chess. I'll always be grateful to Vick for his part in developing infinite chess.

Me... vs tug. *impending sense of dread*
I’ll be glad to start the game tomorrow.
You could be the first to beat me in this variant. Quick, before Nav comes back.

Then that would make him one of the originals, along with his opponents. Duh.
That post gave me a bad gateway 504 error
