    He hasn't made a move in our game either

    I accidently put a time limit of 3 days ,will that matter if no move is made by sunday?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    You can't just claim a win on time after 1 move. He'll probably be replaced soon but I might PM him depending on my mood

    Yep, that was a killer blow. You put up a good defence until the end.

    Good game indeed. Thought I was in trouble when you got your pawn so far up the board. Just had the numbers in the end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 931 ✭✭✭banjopaul


    Can't wait to get started, I've set up games with dave147 and stevenmu but both have yet to make a move.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    You can move down the list if you are still waiting for the first two games to kick off. Don't forget that you can PM your opponents, most of them have probably forgotten about this.

    Sherifu is destroying the competition at the moment

    I've had a good start alright :)

    4/4 so far.

    My round 3 game is turning into quite a tussle. :)

    Wouldn't be surprised if you had Bobby Fischer locked up in your Fritzle-esque dungeon giving you moves while helping to rare your second family

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 419 ✭✭Green Athene


    I have just signed up for the chess challenge. Username Green Athene.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    Okay, since we have people who want to play who didn't sign up originally can anybody who's meant to be playing somebody that just hasn't moved put their name down so I can kick them out and give their place to somebody else.

    CHD is gone first anyway


  • Registered Users Posts: 907 ✭✭✭Rashers


    I've just received notification
    henbane has chosen to delete your game

    Who's henbane and why did you delete the game?

    [edit]I see you challenged me to another game and then deleted that too. What's happening?

    Is that a win for me... or even two?

    Sorry, just feckin about. You're my next game and I challenged you, then deleted it as I hadn't finished my third game yet. If you're good to go with round 4, challenge me on there. I'm not sure about the second challenge, probably some manner of mis-click.

    Sorry about that

    No problem. Just wondering.

    ATM I'm involved in 4 other matches, so I'll wait until at least one of those is over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,636 ✭✭✭henbane


    No problem. I still have two on the go anyway.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 9,545 Mod ✭✭✭✭BossArky


    I have one space available so whoever is online tonight for multiple moves and tomorrow morning challenge me now as per the fixture list.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,636 ✭✭✭henbane


    After an interesting game, I managed to prevail over Sherifu

    Anyone down to replace CHD yet? Also Stevenmu and dave147 still yet to move.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    Indeed. I made a fatal mistake with a pawn. :o

    I'll be away for a week, i'll start my games from round 6 up when I get back.

    I'm waiting for the word... think I'm top of the list to replace the first one to go?

    I expect I'll be losing a lot of games... ye are all sounding scary.

    Hey, was in the process of travelling to california, I've settled in now with wireless in my apartment. Made my first move. I'm 8 hours behind you, so I'll probably be online 8-11pm GMT.


  • Registered Users Posts: 907 ✭✭✭Rashers


    Well done on winning that one BossArky.

    I enjoyed the game. Thanks.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 9,545 Mod ✭✭✭✭BossArky


    Cheers Rashers, good game.

    I have a space open if anyone wants a game now.

    Green Athene (my other half) is keen to get into the tournament so keep her in mind if others drop out.

    Okay, after soccer saturday I'll lash all the replacements in.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 9,545 Mod ✭✭✭✭BossArky


    Bubs101, is it possible that you can update the winners on the fixture list to bold so that we can see at a glance which matchs are done and dusted?

    A lot of work on your part, but could be helpful. Thanks!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    FalloffGirl is in for Ajaffares
    Catch22 is in for CHD
    Green Athene is in for Stevenmu

    There is simple no chance of me ammending the fixture list replacing all the names so I will make it obvious enough on the first page. I can bold the winners easily enough as well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,149 ✭✭✭ZorbaTehZ


    FalloffGirl I haven't finished by round 1 or round 2 game, so I won't be making a move in your challenge (until I finish).

    Thanks Bubs101. I have challenged:
    • BroxiBearEire
    • Popinjay
    • banjopaul
    • DmanDmythDledge

    I have 2 more spaces open in case somebody wants to challenge me.

    I have 2 more spaces open in case somebody wants to challenge me.

    Rules on the first page, quote:
    If you are finished your match from round 1 or 2 you must wait until your opponent in rount 3 or 4 respectively has finished. Each player can only have 1 league match as white and 1 as black going on at the same time. That is unless I ****ed up the fixture list and gave you the same color twice in a row


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    BossArky aked if he could start some extra games and I said I didn't mind. Forgot that I had put it in the rules. If possible could you go in order though

    No problem. Round 1 & 2 players have no spaces, and round 3 & 4 seem too busy... should I go further down the list or just try some patience?

    I'm free to play if anyone's waiting and I'm not far down their lists...

    Round 6: DmanDmythDledge vs Banjopaul

    I lost, knocked around the board:D, good game, enjoyed it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 432 ✭✭Catch_22


    right im in for CHD then,
    challanged Pherekydes and DmanDmythDledge for my round 1 & 2 games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭Havermeyer


    Round 3: rashers v nummnutts.

    Really tough game, but I managed to just squeeze a win in the end.

    Well played rashers.

    Quite a battle. We almost fought to the last piece... great game nummnutts, you fought a valiant match.

    Thank you.

    Round 4:Banjopaul vs B-K-DzR

    I lost again, thats twice from two games!:D Ah well!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,063 ✭✭✭BKtje


    Cheers for the game banjopaul.

    Also well played in our game Bubs. Deserved victory.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 507 ✭✭✭Popinjay


    I've three games on the go at the moment but I'm just about to lose to Telecaster. If anyone's waiting on me for a game, just challenge me anyway and I'll start it. One or two more games won't really make much odds to my chances of winning.

    Don't particularly want to play Bubs again after the thrashing I got in a warm-up game but at least I don't face him 'til Round 11.

    Provisional table, I'm certain I've left out some people, and most likely also made a number of mistakes (please don't be offended!), if people could tell me their results thus far i'l add them in, and also tell me where I've made mistakes :o
