Errm, sorry for disappearing over the weekend all!
I got swallowed up by a pit of depravity in the dungeon of life for a bit.
Making the saving throw against hangover can be hard sometimes.

Thanks for taking up the reigns as arbiter Illumina! May your decisions be guided by justice and wit! Might I request that the time in between games be extended a little to allow for the completion of the rounds? [img]smile.gif[/img]

*quietly and conspiratorially*
Hey, if DragonSlayer plays e4 as white then I might be able to play the Dragon Variation of the Sicilian....now would make for some classic action. The battle is even carried by our names to make the Ironworks epicness even more real. Oh the drama! I wouldn't mind watching more of the games to even write a roundly report or something. [img]smile.gif[/img] Keen to hear more details as we progress.

I'm off to bed for now, hope to catch up with Dragonslayer soon! *sends off thieves to abscond his opponents +12 Hackmaster V.S Dragons.*

May the forks be with you everyone, I wish you all "good chess".
But not too good of course. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I already privately waived the 24 hour limit... I'll repeat what I said for the benefit of everyone else, though. As this is obviously *not* "Intense, winner takes all, finished by Monday" tournament I really don't see a need to worry about time. We all have lives, after all, and all I request is that people do what they have to do in a timely manner.

You want a summary of my games with Black Baron? He beat me three ways to Sunday, 5 times over after the game, with both White and Black. I felt like a used piece of toilet paper after I got squashed. [img]tongue.gif[/img] You could say that I was outclassed. Just slightly.

I hope not everyone here is as good as Baron.

Take that little puzzle quiz. My estimated elo rating is 1575.

Mine is 2085. [img]graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Hardly an accurate test though...

Managed to raise it to 2160 today. Anyone got ideas on the 10 position? i play c8 -a6.

Assassin · 07-13-2004, 07:57 AM

1.f6-f3 or Rf3
2.g2-e4 or Be4
3.c5-c6 or c6
4.e5-d6 or e6
5.e3-c5 or Bc5
6.g5-f6 or Bf6
7.f6-h7 or Nh7
8.b6-d8 or Bd8
9.e3-d4 or Bd4
10.d8-d7 or Qd7

That's from another site that I frequent. You could probably push it higher, but I go 2280 or something.

Illumina Drathiran'ar · 07-13-2004, 08:50 AM

I did c8-e6, strengthening the defenses... It seemed like the only good idea.
