Chess Tournament - Groups, Rules and Discussion (Round 3/Finale started)

fam ask people if they even are interested tbh
and if someone isn't replace him with me ;)
Blame me for not pushing as much as I did during the first round since I'm currently trying to just get VLDC done already.
But yeah, this is still going... just taking a bit longer than I originally thought it would :P

So far in round 2 I have lost two matches. I still have 1 more to go so hopefully I will get "lucky" on that one.

Just to let you guys know, I haven't played chess in around 10 years and when I used to play I sucked.

But because I'm trying to do good here in the tournament I've been practicing online.

Here is a recent game that I played where I did well. This tournament really got me into chess for the first time so thanks to Jack for this idea and setup.

Here is the video of a live chess game I played.

So yeah, feel free to PM me to make a match with me, because I am not often in the IRC to find people.
Don't feel bad Final Theory. Chess is a game of sportsmanship. Win some, lose some. At some point I will lose a game too.
Great. Now go win against yoshicookyzeus... or lose, so long as you play against him ^^

His last activity was not even a day ago, so maybe he read the PM (you can check under view sent messages) and the just forgot about it.
Sometimes, you just have to keep bugging people #smw{;)} (you didn't hear that from me)

There's probably a better place on the Internet to post your games than here lol

yoshicookiezeus hasn't been responding to me either.
I just want to show everyone here what I'm made of. lol

Here is another game. I'm white btw.

Of all the sites out there, why'd you pick one that requires a log in?

These are games against non-smwc tournament people. He wants to save his progress, as chess.com has a rating system. So does lichess I guess, but chess.com also has a lot more features.

But seriously there's better places to share your games.
Sorry about that; I was gone most of last week and work started this one, so I haven't had much time lately. I'll try to be around in IRC this weekend for my games.

I'm just posting my improvement progress by posting my games.

Thanks to jackthespades for getting me back into chess!

I'm black on this one. I won by the other player resigning after they lost their queen.

And you can log in with facebook.......... everyone has facebook
The main reason for posting these chess games is because I wanted to show everyone that I've gained an interest in chess because of this tournament and that I honestly never was any good at chess before.

Here is another recent game. If you study my starting games and then this one you can definitely see an improvement.

I'm white.

at least this guy plays *shrug*
So what is the current state of play? Everyone lost motivation?

There are enough things which take forever, maybe we could set a deadline on this and get things moving again?
