Why is this a thing? Surely random is better than an imposed colour rule. I always issue my challenges as random.

Rules of this comp say that the challenger is always white.

I beat Cruyff on time in a game that took much longer than it should have due to his slow play.

Well done! Bad luck Jaymin - was keeping track of the game!

And another win to #1!
Gold medal
Great stuff!

I beat Th3 DoG FaTh3R

In terms of opponent's ranking my best win, so I'm pretty happy with that.

Chipmunk

Great competition all the way through, thanks everyone.

So is the ladder still going? Or is it dead?

Ladder has ended and pickler_mz is launching the new and better one later in the month. Feel free to challenge anyone on this thread if you want but it won’t affect ladder position.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Pretty thrilled to have ended up in the top 10, definitely wasn't expecting that result when I signed up. Must have had a bit of luck go my way.

Was making dinner and lost track of time. Was planning to debut this week

 

[Jaymin]

Any chance of making the tournaments a bit later like 7pm?? I’d love to play them but with kids it’s just impossible to do it before they go to bed.

Understand that no time is going to suit everyone though.

 

[Jaymin]

Got out of jail with a draw against RalfM. Was down 2 rooks to 1 at the end.

Interested that the report said you had a missed win RalfM. Couldn’t see where that was.

When I had you right in the corner I should have moved the king to the 1st rank. Really messed up there, but has been such a long time since I did rook end games like that. Exciting game! Thanks

I just had a look myself. Very good game to both of you

Thanks.

I think my biggest mistake was to keep playing when I was getting too tired. We were in a nice flow and I think I just wanted to get it done, but when I was unsure I should have stepped away from the board. All part of the game though

Thanks again Chipmunk for organising the comp, to everyone who I got to play against in it for the games, and to the others, I hope we get to have a game in the next comp.
