I got beat by autolycus. So, I’ve got one win and 2 losses now.
Color me confused. You’re supposed to be playing White against peekercpa. Autolycus beat you in round 2. Have you finished your round 3 game, and if so, what was the result? I assume a win, since you’re saying you have 1 win.
A bit of a mismove? Was WWII a “skirmish”? Was the Hindenburgh a “small flame”? Was “Fat Man” a “minor explosion”? It was a catastrophic mistake at a crucial time and you took full advantage of to crush me like a bug. Well played.
Yikes! ChessMaster gives the final position a whopping 17.98!
Well, Maser’s just too polite to say that you handed him your queen done up in a pretty pink ribbon…
Meanwhile Chessic and I are having a right old ding-dong. Not that very much is happening tactically, but the tactics that aren’t being played are amazing! It’s just that, up to now, neither of us has put one over on the other. But that could change any moment.
Yeah, I don’t think this game will be decided by tactics. I think it’ll come down to solid positional play. I know what I have to do. The question is, do you?
Throws you in a vat of light-fuchsia paint
You seem to have overlooked my 1st game against fubbleskag.
That is the question. Fortunately, we have the perfect forum for settling it.
I have you down as losing to fubbleskag, then losing to Auto, then paired against peeker. I’ve checked the whole thread twice and I haven’t found your result posted by either of you.
I assume you won. Is that correct?
Yes. Here’s the game.
So, when’s the next one?
Well, my game against Malacandra is taking a while. We’re also waiting on Oredigger-Auto and Garygnu-fubbleskag. So who knows?
Probably not as long as I was hoping for. 22. Rd2 was a lemon, and a waste of some in-depth analysis; for a positional game, this has turned out tactical after all. (22. Rc3 and 23. Rd3, and I think I was living to fight another day, though it was mighty hairy.)
My game with Oredigger is heading into the final stretch. It would be over very soon if our schedules didn’t conflict in such a way that we only get in 1 or 2 moves in per day.
Ya, it hasn’t been very many moves but even on weekends we can’t seem to get together. I think we’re heading for a draw at this point as far as scheduling goes. Auto had me beat but I think I’ve found a way out of it.
Heading for a draw? Unless I’m missing something, I certainly don’t think so. But anyway… no comments please, but just so Chessic Sense can evalute: Chess - GameKnot.com
I don’t think an unfinished game should be assessed by someone other than a player.
I think he meant “evaluate for predictive pairing purposes”, but with 3 games to go, there’s still 27 different possible pairings, I think. So we’ve still gotta wait.
Hey, you people need to post some more results. I just found this thread and had fun clicking through the online games.
This isn’t finished yet, but it’s not far off. I am “Gil-Gandel”, Chessic Sense is “ChessSoldier”, and the game has just reached 30 moves with never a dull moment.
I take my hat off to Chessic, who has given me the toughest game I’ve had from anyone but a computer in fifteen years, btw. I share his keen anticipation of some computer analysis when we’re done.
