**JrFranchi** and **Gangsta Octopus** , you’ll have to put that question to **FinnAgain** , He’s our chess master and score keeper. We’re in the middle of the second round of an ‘everyone plays everyone’ tournament, but there is talk of loosening up the structure. Most games seem to get played at [Itsyourturn.com](http://Itsyourturn.com), but that’s not a rule. Some got played realtime, when folks across the world could hook up, but most are being played by correspondance, which is why each round takes us a couple of months. (not complaining). Look up S\_Lizard\_King on It’s your turn if you’re looking for a game, eh?
