pennphinphan wins!
Chess Tournament
Pretty much what it sounds like. What I need from you guys it to go to http://games.yahoo.com/games/login2?page=ch&ss=1 and create an account. Please make your account name the same or close to what you have on this forum. Post your account and your sign name on this thread when done so.
I have randomized who's playing who. It's a standard single elimination 8 person tournament. What you need to do is get ahold of your partner somehow through PM this thread or whatever and try to get a game in within a couple days. There is no true time limit but please try and get the games in as fast as possible and work out schedules that you can play. When the game is over please post the results in this thread. :up:
When you guys play just use the "Springer Sprawl" room it makes it really easy to find each other.

Are we deciding time limits ourselves between the 2 matched up?

I haven't been able to create my account yet (blocked at work) but does this site offer anything that will prevent cheating? Not that I don't trust you guys :shifty:
I'm just wondering if this is going to be another one of those challenges where everyone cheats like hell and it's just going to come down to who cheats better. -
be careful when you try to challenge each other. if you just like find their name and click challenge, it's going to put you into this "3 day" challenge where its not live-updating because it thinks you're only coming back to it every now and then and playing an extended game against someone. you have to constantly reload the page and its a pain in the arse
the trick is to have both people go to the "Play" menu, go to "Live Chess", then click the button to go into the Live Chess Lobby. From there, you can find the persons name in the list (assuming they are also currently in the lobby) and you can click next to their name where it says "play", and this will set up a timed match where you can put in however many minutes you want each side to have total

But yeah what penn said you'll have to do live games. The other way is too slow. For the question on how you will set up your game. When you both have your names down try and talk to your opponent about when you guys can make time to play each other. :up:pennphinfan, PSG and Big E like this. -
How about everyone not be an ******* and cheat so I can have unique challenges without having to constantly think how you guys can cheat to win. Best way to not get invited back to this thing next year is to make me work harder on this than I already am.Click to expand...
I'd love it if this contest we could all be gentlemen and agree not to cheat. I don't plan on cheating. But as hard as you work on this, the rest of us have also sacrificed weekends, hours of work, sleep to participate in this thing so yeah it worries me that someone could cheat their way to an easy victory in this challenge. Sorry I brought it up.
Honestly I suck at chess so I will be an easy victory whether someone cheats or not.Trowa likes this. -
Damn. I guess that's aimed at me. Not trying to make you work any harder. Just pointing out the obvious. Whenever there is room for it, there has been rampant cheating in this contest, admittedly on both sides. I guess we're all *******s.

and trust me I'd much rather be playing this than running it, but it's the only way one of these is going to go down. -

It was a general comment. But why even give people ideas? What cheating has been done besides the 2nd challenge?

Cheating wasn't an entirely accurate phrase. Teams haven't been exactly cheating, but using every resource available to complete the challenges. But you've done a great job of choosing challenges to where that's not exactly cheating. But this one, if you use every resource available, say a cousin, friend, etc whose a ringer at chess, that would be more cheating. Not trying to give anyone any ideas. I think the ways you would cheat at online chess are blatantly obvious to anyone who thinks about it. More trying to see if we can all come to a gentleman's agreement on this one. May the best chess player win. I'm sure one of these guys is an absolute ringer at chess and won't even need to cheat.Click to expand...Big E and MonstBlitz like this.

Am I signed up at the right site? I'm on chess.com now looking all over for MrRaccoon and I can't find your name. Maybe you have to be online for me to send a friend request. I'll check back in an hour.Click to expand...

is chess.com crappy or is it just me?
Try and find something good and we'll go with that. Since both of you are online you can use that and we'll just go with that for now on. -

Much better. Use the Unranked room. Should be really easy to find each other with this. I'll update the first post. Sorry that chess.com was a POS. -
Well I'm going out now and won't be back until 8:30-8:45, but then I'll be on all night. So if Monst finds something better I'll sign up and we can do it when I get back.Click to expand...
Edited to add: I'm in the unranked room in the link that Dolfan posted. Let's make it happen. -
It's an effin game for fun there's no reason people should be cheating. That said I don't believe using 'resources' like Google was cheating bc it was never said we couldn't
