It is sorry that I click "Cancel Tournament" by mistake at my mobile phone, 
actually I want to disable the auto-start, for 98 players already joined just now.
I have to create it again and resent the invitation.

Don't worry dude. In 40 years, those of you who are still alive will enjoy a good-natured chuckle over this cancellation mishap...
It's probably too soon to laugh now though. At the moment it's still kind of an unmitigated disaster.

It's the Geek vs Mayhem in another celebrity deathmatch.
Don't you have to have two celebrities for that?
Notably absent is Mayhem's chess resume. Maybe 'cause he doesnt have one.
Of note is Shachgeek's impressive resume though. He's a true champion. At least there is one celebrity among us here. He's 2500 at chess.com, 400 wins, 20 losses... from... *gasp*, eviscerating an average opponent of 1495. LoL
You seriously have to be really hunting for beginners and be petrified of losing to have an average opponent rating that low. Oh, but he plays strong OTB tournaments over the weekends... sure... Something tells me this guy wouldn't be interested in facing a strong opponent if he was at gunpoint. Oh and he's in his 40's... lotta upside potential there - impressive stuff. Yea so, it's not gonna get much better for Shachgeek.
Geez and I thought my average opponent was super low at 1653. When I began playing here a couple weeks back I randomly started 120 games at once with open seeks (I was 1700 at the time). Even with that, I fully realize I'd have to have been doing some serious weak opponent cherry picking to get it down to the 1400s. That's where I've gotten my 10 losses, just blitzing through my games.
Anyway Shach, nice accomplishments man, and congrats on all the ECO placements wow, I was just blown away... super stuff there... wooowwww... By the way I wouldn't use game explorer or any other lame database in a million years, and I wouldn't take days to make each of my moves, and yet I will still be well higher rated than you in the coming weeks. Watch. 2200s are almost done... then 2300... 2400.. weeeeeee. It's slow going because my glicko RD is too low right now. But it's going. I'm hitting no resistance. Just mowed through 5 - 2100 players. On the brightside, even though I'm already better than you, I still technically have over 20 years to catch up to you. 
Yea I think I'll be alright.
