When is the tournament, what time is which time zone? I'm ready for it

8pm Melbourne/Sydney time ie opens in 6 minutes.

 

[Deaneus!]

This tournament is the BOMB!

(there's an odd number of players so I don't have an opponent and I'm watching Mad Max Fury Road)

 

[Deaneus!]

Maybe the tournament hasn't started...

 

[Deaneus!]

I declare myself tournament winner!

that's me holding up the trophy, I'm with a bunch of friends who came to support me by wearing the exact same clothing, they were very happy for me.

 

[Deaneus!]

from 4.50pm, twenty minutes after it started

 

[Deaneus!]

and the chess.com muted me for swearing in the chat box about how sh*t their website is... fascists

 

[Deaneus!]

and then in the final round, I got another bye, so I managed to get through a whole tournament without playing a game.

I did get 1 point for the bye, so that's cool.

fu** you chess.com

Also the Click here to watch this round's top game? It doesn't work.

 

[Deaneus!]

I tied for third after not playing a game.

NO TOURNAMENT ON SATURDAY

I shall prepare the Chess AFL PMs this weekend and send them through.

 

[Chipmunk]

Since we're currently in the chess AFL and the club match, and with lockdown seemly easing, I'm planning to can the Wednesday tournaments.

Let me know what you think - I'm happy to arrange if there is demand!

 

[iluvparis]

I wonder if there is room for an arena style tournament that is open for a few hours and people can come in and out and play games when they are free?

Great idea, let me investigate tournament options and I’ll stick a new thread up today.
