The Official HL2.net Chess Tournament Thread

[Solaris]

Okay.

It will run as a Tournament. You have to win to go through to the next round.
Matches will be played on http://www.redhotpawn.com/
Red Hot Pawn gives you email notification everytime a move is made, so you don't have to play live.

If you wish to take part in the halflife2.net tournament sign up on RedhotPawn, and post your RedhotPawn user name here.

I am Solaris152

Sign ups will end in 48 hours time.

[bliink]

[bliink]

how does this actually work anyway?

 

[Solaris]

I'll put names into a hat, and post whos playing who for the first round.
Redhotpawn you log in, challenge whoever you're meant to challenge then make a move, then they get an email saying their oppenent has mooved and they are given a link to a chess board on which they make their move.

I'm too pussy to sign up but I enjoy watching the games. Say when you're playing so I can pop along and have a gander at them while you play.

 

[Tr0n]

Nerds.

 

[JNightshade]

Hahahah, my thoughts exactly.

 

[Razor]

I have no interest in playing correspondant chess, waiting for some idiot 3 hours to think about a move really isn't fun. Make the games live and i'll definately consider it.

 

[Fat Tony!]

Im fattony123. Beam me up solaris :naughty:

 

[Dan]

put me in. My name is DanDaMan

 

[Solaris]

Okay, if both opponents wish you can play the games via a different medium, ie. yahoo chess. However it's prefered that you do it on redhotpawn, then you can post links to your game and people can replay it.

 

[A True Canadian]

All right, twisted my arm. I'll take part in this tourny.

My username is: A True Canadian


...I haven't played a serious game of chess in ages so I guess I'd be one of the underdogs.

It would suck if a moderator moved this to games chat. Then it would just be "omg the graphics suck, the board doesn't have any AA on and lighting is all fullbright. Not even bumpmapping!"

I can play on Yahoo chess no problem, we'll need to sort out a time beneficial to both me and my victim though .

 

[Pressure]

I get to play someone who hasn't even signed up? Yay?

 

[Kamikazie]

You should just play Anti.

 

[Pressure]

Well Anti?

 

[AntiAnto]

Well Anti?

Go

 

[Solaris]

Go

Pressure plays Anti.

 

[AntiAnto]

Challenge me Pressure. Oddly, I can't find your name. Mine is AntiAnto.

 

[Solaris]

Sweet. Count me in.

Why must you be such a ****ing idiot and post the wrong user name?

Just challenge me - solaris152

 

[AntiAnto]

Why must you be such a ****ing idiot and post the wrong user name?

Just challenge me - solaris152

I think it's the search engine that is not accurate. I couldn't find half the players who posted their username here.

EDIT: Pressure, I've challenged you. The game has started now.

 

[Anthraxxx]

Just challenge me - solaris152

Challenged!

 

[A True Canadian]

Forgive me if I'm not quick, I'm very busy today. But I'll sneak in a few moves whenever I can.
