Game Courier Tournament #3. Vote for which games should be in the third Game Courier tournament.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

joe, 

i'm sick of you holding up the tournament with your slow-play!

only kidding.  if you both make your first move, that should give antoine enough time to see this and change the time settings on the game...

antoine, thanks. i noticed that there is another game with the same problem. adrian-mschmahl-2008-30-525

i've made a table with all the updated results and excluding FD,ST,CP,JL,BB and NF as they didn't complete any games. that leaves 14 players and 13 possible points for each player.

the table won't paste properly into a comment. any ideas? it's just a regular spreadsheet table.

here's the leaderboard though. possible score is in brackets.

GG 11.5 (12.5) AF 11 (12) CC 9 (9) DP 8.5 (9.5) JJ 7.5 (10.5) MS 7 (9) TT 6.5 (8.5) AA 6 (6) GS 5 (5) Je 4 (7) JG 3 (3) UB 2 (3) AR 2 (2) JR 1 (1)

so gary needs at least a half-point from his last game to win the tournament (i think he would win on the countback rules fergus used). antoine could win the tournament if he beats todor and gary loses to michael.

3rd-7th all depend on results from the final round of games too. joe has the third highest possible score at this stage.

gary, can pawns promote to anything?

can a horse-apult fire the other horse-apult?

ok, i'll play if enough people sign up.  a couple of things - several
important GC3 games are still in progress and could go on for a while. 
that could affect registration...  i also think the 48-hour window for
vetoes is too short - a week might be better.

updated scores (sorry for the ugly format):

GG 12.5 (12.5) AF 11 (12) CC 9 (9) JJ 8.5 (10.5) DP 8.5 (9.5) MS 7 (8) TT 6.5 (8.5) AA 6 (6) GS 5 (5) Je 4 (6) JG 3 (3) UB 2 (3) AR 2 (2) JR 1 (1)

gary goes unbeaten and defends his GC2 title.  there are still a few games going on but congratulations gary and antoine, who are guaranteed first and second.  way too good again...

dead-heats:
AR beats UB
GS beats Je (although Je still has a possible point)

third and fourth place still up for grabs.

about the rules of wormhole chess: the trapped pawns on d3 and d8 are
allowed a single diagonal move to begin.  i don't think this is written
in the rules.

carlos carlos wrote on Tue, Apr 15, 2008 01:14 PM UTC:

seeing as we are allowed to veto for any reason at all, i'll go for...

circular chess with crooked bishops and queen 
eight stone 
hammer chess 
hostage chess
racing kings
rococo
save the standard 13x13
titan chess

most games are up.  

charles, which preset do you want to use: 
Charles Birds (vs Donut)


you can check on the games by entering PL1 in the games field.  counting
them, the joe-juan game of atlantean doesn't show up tho, not sure why.

for some reason something is wrong with the games involving graeme.  maybe
i used the wrong username.  graeme, if you can't access those games let me
know.  however, i don't have the power to delete/alter games so i guess i
will just reassign them.

carlos carlos wrote on Thu, Apr 24, 2008 02:29 PM UTC:

i wondered about that.  i entered grayhawke without the 2, but i noticed
that the game logs all say grayhawke2.  i'm not sure why that happened,
or what to do.  maybe you could create a new username if it's no big
deal?

carlos carlos wrote on Fri, Apr 25, 2008 01:52 AM UTC:

graeme,

i did enter grayhawke... every time. i don't know why it changed it to
grayhawke2.

carlos carlos wrote on Fri, Apr 25, 2008 01:36 PM UTC:

done!

joe, jeju, juan - please move in the new games.

carlos carlos wrote on Sat, Apr 26, 2008 03:26 AM UTC:

i think all the first round games are up now, let me know if anything is
missing/wrong.

carlos carlos wrote on Sun, Apr 27, 2008 02:09 PM UTC:

yeah, i think i must have forgotten to enter the tournament field for that
one...

gary:

is it correct that there is no obligation to move out of check (if you can instead capture the opponent's king)?

cool, but see my earlier comment - some of the games you are counting don't count because people lost on time and then didn't really play any games at all...  

how do you get yours to stay in nice lines?

here are the official results.

Altair. Altair is a modern game with an oriental flavor. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

'It takes by jumping (like piece of draughts but in all directions), jumping an enemy piece diagonally.'

so can it or can't it take orthogonally?

No objection from me, Charles.

I will try and get onto assigning these games over the weekend.
