So ya like chess? Groovy! Sign up for our chess tournament beginning May 1!
We won’t know the exact structure of the tourney til we know how many are going to play, but we will start off with two staggered rounds, all games in these rounds must be finished within 2 weeks. The winners of the games in these rounds will move on in an elimination playoff type thingie until one is left standing.
Grand Prize is a $20 Amazon.com gift certificate. Second prize is your choice of a t-shirt, mug, or mousepad from the Fathom store.
I signed on, Opal. A coupla questions: (1) I was sent to Yahoo Groups or something. Did I join some sort of club? (2) When you say a time limit of two weeks, what happens with a game in progress? Is it adjudicated, a draw, or a loss to the person on move?
Hmm… I thought the directions made it pretty clear that it was so we could contact you. You know, like to tell you when the tournament begins and who is playing who and stuff.
Anybody who wants an instant by into the second round, I’m your opponent!
I was beaten regularly, in just a few moves, by a chess program for the original TRS-80 Model 1 that fit into only 4k of memory! Beat THAT, Demo and Opal!
sigh. I’d love to play, but final exams start on May 2, and I can’t have any distractions like this going on…couldn’t hold off for two more weeks, could ya?
