My epic battle with JellyWorld continues. I believe we're about to pass 50 total moves (25 total turns).

I like doing this slowly and methodically. Normally I just rush all my pieces into battle because I like seeing battle, and because I want the game to end. It loses the fun if I have to sit there for half an hour doing nothing but poring over my men.

You took my queen :(
 
Haha Fat Tony. I made a huge mistake but you missed it and lost the game.
 
When what? Noes.

Wait a second...I just realised I made a rather textbook, super stupid mistake. Oh nooooooooooo.

edits- although...ive now corrected this mistake. Enjoy dan! :)
 
I enjoyed that very much thanks. Oh btw, checkmate.
 
Next round will start in just over a weeks time.
 
Can we like place imaginary bets, like we wanna have the excitment, im surpporting my home country player, Jellyworld!
 
I haven't played against Pressure yet. Where the hell is he?

Anyone up for an amicably match?
 
Hooray!

BadHat, bliink, Solaris, and dAnthraxxx are running out of time ;) Just five days remain!
 
could you put the standings and the matches to be played in the first post please. It's tough to find where stuff is.
 
*bump*

Eh, I'm all chessed out. Gonna hand my game to Bliink as we'll never finish at this rate :p

As for the friendly match with Bryan, it should be over momentarily :(
 
Secound round matchings will be posted tomorrow

You've got a rook and pawns. Make use of them.

If anyone wants to game, 3 of mine are about to end. I'm open for more challenges.

At the pace you and I are going at in our rematch, it could be another week before we're done...


...that is, unless I keep making these costly mistakes.

This has been a long game, hasn't it. :LOL:

Uhhh... dude did you just give up?
 
I was actually going to take your queen in the interest of prolonging the game. I intended for you to move your king to f8, then I would move my pawns in, make it nice and dramatic, but that nonsensical move kinda threw me off. :|

If you had moved your c7 pawn out of the way you could have opened up your queen and rooks and had a very good defensive position.

Ah well.
 
Jesus you guys are making this hard.
When you ****ing win, post it so here ffs.

All I have at the moment is:

Yeah I could probably have ended the game earlier, but I was playing too defensive at times. Plus I wasn't really sure if Pawns can move backwards. :p

Oh, and _Z_Ryuken...do I detect a friendly rematch happening? ;)

This means that these games remain:

dAnthraxxx
v
solaris152

JellyWorld
v
Raeven0

EvilMilk
v
TheTaxman (monkey)

hl2netchamp ( pressure)
v
AntiAnto

...and bliink, DanDaMan, and A True Canadian advance so far.


Now since there's only 7 matchups in the first round, that means that there's going to be an odd number of people for the next round. I thought we got two extra people for an 8th matchup?
 
That would be good, but we still need 16 people to make that possible.

Winners of the first round battling for the A championship and losers of the first round battling for the B championship.

I did not win our first match. We played a rematch and I won, but not the tourney.
 
Okay round two:

Raeven0
V
Bliink

Dandaman
V
A True Canadian

AntiAnto
V
[I'm not sure yet]
 
why would I play z_ryuken? He lost his game. And so did Jellyworld.
 
You developed you queen to early mr.canadian.
 
Well, I haven't played against Pressure yet and he hasn't manifested himself for a while too. Anyway, I guess I tried enough to get the match started but I never had any responses from his part.

So if I won through forfeiture, who is my next opponent?
