Official Shayol Ghul Chess Tournament!

[cosmicpanda]

Play and get points.

 

15 points per game won. 5 points per loss, for being a good sport and playing. 20 points for winning the tournament, 15 for coming second, 10 for coming third. The more people that play, the more points that everyone will get.

 

In addition, 10 points for anybody that puts the words "Chess Tournament at Shayol Ghul!" in their siggy, and double that for someone who makes an image with those words for their siggy. (Anybody who makes an image for everyone to use will get an additional 15 points - so, assuming it's in your siggy as well, you'll be getting 35 points for it.)

 

 

 

OK, as to how it will work: everyone will play a game against everyone else, if possible. If not, don't worry. At the end of it all, the person with the most wins is the winner, etc. Ties are broken by games of chess.

 

Play either on yahoo messenger - if you do, post the screenshot showing victory/defeat in the thread, so everyone can see. If you're too modern to use Yahoo, use www.chess.com . Chess.com is good because it can do correspondence chess, which could be useful for playing people in different timezones.

 

If you do use chess.com (I just signed up today), add me as your friend on it so I can keep track of you more easily. I'm cosmicpanda on there. Post screenshots showing victory/defeat on here, as well.

 

Other ways of playing chess with each other are fine, as well - just be sure to show me the screenshot at the end of it.

 

Sign ups start now.  :D

I suck at chess, otherwise I'd be in... Okay, to heck with it, I'm in.

[Haxorsist]

This will take time from Hearts! *shakes fist*

[Barmacral]

I'm actually quite good at chess, however I grew bored of playing it and stopped years ago, and can't get back into it.

[eclipse0]

I'm a member of Redhotpawn.com.  It's free correspondence chess. Highly recommended.

 

But I guess I can sign up on Chess.com if necessary.

[Far Dareis Mai]

I can play chess, I'm not particularly bad at it (wouldn't say I'm good either though), but I hate playing it. But I think this is a good idea, and could be potentially fun. :)

[cosmicpanda]

Redhotpawn.com works as well, I guess.

 

So, who do we have?

 

1. Demi

2. Far?

[Gerrendus]

I suppose I can try it?  Correspondence chess means we get time to make our next move, like I make a move, then whenever the other person gets on they make their move and so on and so forth?

[cosmicpanda]

Yes, I think so.

 

1. Demi

2. Far?

3. Gerr

[Roxinos]

You have me willing to play, and think about it, you don't even have to give me points! I'll just school you (read: get my ass kicked) in chess for free!

[Far Dareis Mai]

Perhaps the contest should be who eff's up the worst...because I'm sitting on the same bench as Rox.  :-\

[Roxinos]

Bah! I totally could've kicked Panda's ass. One mistake, a simple oversight, and I lose. Rawr.

 

*grin* I'm too angry at myself right now to con anyone.

 

Panda can attest to the fact that I'm a lot better than I used to be. Meaning, I can actually pose a threat.

[cosmicpanda]

Alright, still room for signups, but feel free to start playing games:

 

1. Demi

2. Far

3. Gerr

4. Rox

 

Game total:

 

Rox Vs. Pandy - Pandy won

 

Screenshot so everyone can see. Rox has asked that I inform people that he could've won. :D

I'll play but I'm honestly just downright awful at chess.

[cosmicpanda]

flippin' 'eck, people, hurry up and sign up for www.chess.com and add me to your friend list and start playing a game with me and each other. Post usernames for chess.com in this thread. I'm cosmicpanda there, as well.

 

Play games another way if you want but make sure to post screenshots, and please humor me by signing up for chess.com as well so we can get this thing rolling.

[eclipse0]

I'm there

[chillimous]

Play a game with me, eclipse. I just lost to Pandy after making it difficult for him for a long time. ; ;

[cosmicpanda]

Wait, if we do everything on chess.com, there's no need for screenshots.

 

If you do play a game on something else, please still post one.

 

1. Demi
