    Can you make it 1 day per move? That seems enough for most.

    I am reluctant to do that. I don't want it to be too pressured. There are some days when I just don't feel like playing chess at all or just don't get the time to make any moves or don't have access to the internet. I think the remaining 6 players will effectively manage an average of more than one move a day whilst allowing for those days when they are unable or not in the mood to make any moves.
  • Leuth and AddictsAdict please ignore the new games that have been automatically started by Chess.com now that our group has finished.

    Only just seen this, wondered why we had a tournament of three.

    I'm just about to go on holiday for three days so one day per move ain't enough.
  • Fair enough, 2 days then! :wink:

    I think three days works well. As SE8 says, sometimes it's just not possible to devote the time needed. There's nothing to stop you organising another tournament for those who want to play faster.
  • One day imo, so that AA loses some
  • No it's fine I just presumed (wrongly) that people would prefer quicker games.
  • Leuth & AddictsAddick I thought I would cancel the my automatically generated matches from our group by withdrawing. Unfortunately I lost about 45 precious and hard won Chess.com ratings points! Your games between each other are still live. I think if one of you resign with only one move on the board it does not change the rating of either player. Alternatively you could just play the games out.

    @Leuth I'm happy to play it.

    Red_in_se8
    Leuth

    The top 3 in group 2 are

    Talal

    I have created the final round and invited these 6 players to join.

  • Ah go on then. Getting beat a couple more times might make me a better player, who knows :P
  • I feel in a false position, a few very evenly matched players in group 2. Look forward to my spanking by AA.
  • If a few more players express an interest I could start another tournament involving sillav nitram, IdleHans and tkAthletic and any additional players.
  • I'd be in.
  • Been watching this since it got resurrected. I do love the game, but I don't have any time to play it at the moment. Literally not played since last time this was going round - probably about five years ago.
  • Just wanted to thank all those in my group who gave me a right good spanking, it was a pleasure to be spanked by you all;)
  • @Talal ........we are waiting for you to accept the invitation so we can start the final round.
  • Anyone else interested in a separate tournament along with IdleHans and sillav nitram? @sadiejane1981 ?
  • @Talal ........we are waiting for you to accept the invitation so we can start the final round.

    Sorry dude, done.

    Go on then, count me in.
  • There's a lot of chess going on
  • Nothing to report in any of my games yet. Rogue tactics to a minimum. To be expected at this early stage

    Go on then, count me in.
    What is your chess.com username?
  • gaaaaah NEVER ACCEPT THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT
  • This might be my new favorite CL thread

    I never use the site, I play regularly on Gameknot with a rating of 1300-1350, however happy to log in and join in with you guys but I think Chess.com will show me as a 1200 rating?

    also, don't let someone fork your king and a piece. especially don't let them do it twice inside the opening ten moves
  • Some exciting games now. Have just had Red in SE8 on toast, but Charente Addick has me at his mercy in another one. And there's a game against Talal 2017 where I've just given him the chance to almost checkmate me.......but at what cost?
  • Talal goes for the boring 'exchange' variation of the Almost Checkmate Gambit
