You can have it where it won't notify you by Email, but still notify you on the site. That's what I do nowadays since I rarely check my email regularly enough to see the notices.

Nah, just so I have a (extremely remote) chance of winning the tourny lol

There's an explanation I wrote up in the first post.

I'm not playing in the official smashboards tournament. However I challenged you all (I think) to a few games. Winning or losing them will not affect your standing in the tournament. They also will not affect your rating as I made them unrated (only because most of you guys are rated so low below me that I actually lose points for winning. I'm fine with losing points with a hard fought draw, but losing points even if you win is morally defeating lol).

5-0.... "Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!" (there is more to this, but u get it)

I just missed out on a SB Chess tournament? I need to visit here more often.

Well, my attention has been devoted to competitive Tetris, so I would be "out of shape" for this kind of thing. For example, I realize that I forgot most of my Catalan lines and variations, so I would need a bit of time to study up.

Chess engines/help from others are banned and books are not just like normal correspondence games, I presume?

...

I think I may end up doing the same thing as DMG.

I wouldn't mind playing a game or two with you, Tomato Kirby. I believe we had a correspondence match a while back. I've since improved.

Hey guys. I'd be willing to play a few matches on Chess.com with anyone who wants. My username is dwightstearns. It's been years since I've played chess, so I'll be a bit rusty.

I'm up for setting up another one as soon as this one finishes. I need some revenge lol.

If more then 7 players are up for it, we can have two tournament pools and then the winners of both face each other.

Drop a link here when it starts, jason.
Edit: Nevermind, I don't think that will work with live chess. I'll just find the game when you guys start.

How does live works, anyway? I've seen the red icon that says "live" on it before, is it like people watching the game? And if so, can we commentate? Just wondering.

Unlike correspondence games, which are what the tournament consists of, live games have to be completed in one sitting. People can spectate. I've watched a few of jason's games against the_brown_magik. I don't think chatting is allowed by spectators while the game is in progress as they could interfere.

Whenever he wants to. Which reminds me, you guys friend me and Jason so you can find us faster when we start the game. If we start and you don't have us friended, you might not be able to find us/our game.
