The Chess Thread - NEW TOURNAMENT SIGNUPS

[Tomous]

I am happy either way. Up to date with my games (my downtime is either this fixture or next) but if both parties were keen to go ahead it would be silly not to get the games done even if other people needed time to catch up.

If both players are happy to go ahead go for it

[Super Dragon 64]

I'm happy to take a break/slow down the pace as I haven't had much time to play over the last couple of days.

2-0 Vs Cuttooth in the end, second game in particular was really good, very sharp, complex positions with attacking threats on both sides. Thanks for the good games!

I think I'm on track and Hypes is my next opponent but happy to wait for people to catch up. Me Vs Hypes will probably determine the tournament based on results so far!

[Tomous]

Very interested in Pancake v Hypes.

I am also interested in Pancake v Hypes.

I think the games between you and Cuttooth will be good. I had a harder time against you but he's not shabby!

If he's as good as you I might as well just concede my matches with him now.

I sincerely hope he is worse than me.

I'm not sure you did yourself justice against me, especially that second game.

My main mistake with the second game was trying an opening I've never really done before and hoping it might give me some kind of advantage.

Apologies it took me a while to come back with my turn at times.

No worries at all on the time! I went into a very deep think after your bg5, I thought I might have misplayed it because I didn't see that move coming and it was tricky to deal with it. Unfortunately I'm not sure if you saw the same threat as me because your next move (a3) was your main mistake in my opinion, it gave me all the initiative and ruined your pawns in front of the king. I was expecting Nd5 there and had calculated all sorts of lines in response that were a bit hairy. I would say the opening went pretty well for you, the position was roughly equal but very sharp so we both had attacking chances.

I've just accepted. Do you have a preference as to starting colour?

Hypes, I'm ready to play whenever you are. I don't mind which colour I start with.

Not particularly. I guess who ever challenges who first will be white.

Could everyone try and complete their outstsnding games by the weekend and I'll post an updated table and we'll have a bit of restart to complete the final fixtures next week

[Dowbocop]

GG Tomous, I had no idea what you were doing but I was so close to pulling up a pawn which would have stopped your Queen's attack. I just didn't see the threat and protected the centre despite the fact that I'd castled
