Chess With Your Power 2.0 - IT BEGINS

[Ryan Ludovic]

I am afraid I don't have the time to play in this Chess Torney, but, in the event this is a great turnout, I'd for sure join the following one!

 

[EnigmaticCam]

So, how's it going? >.>

 

[Wikipedia]

Ok so I am still waiting, the moderator I messaged was granted a week long break for Christmas and so he hasn't been able to return my message and now he is back and swamped because he was on vacation so it might be a little longer. But trust me guys, this will happen at least in the next week.

 

[~N9NE~]

No worries Wiki, we understand.

 

[B-Will]

Sweet. You all haven't started yet. I've been away for Christmas vacation so I haven't been around.

looking forward to it.

 

[~N9NE~]

Unfortunately I have to withdraw from this tournament guys. Hopefully face you all in the next one.

 

[Wikipedia]

Ok, we are so ready for this, everyone check your chess.com username for an invitation, if you go on there and can't find one then post in here with your chess.com user name.

This will begin on January 20th.


EDIT: Alright I sent out as many invitations as I could, there were several people that I could not find a chess.com account for so please make one and post the name of it here, try to make it as close to your smashboards name as possible. Also, the invitations are from the username DukeRebuke which is my username on chess.com.

 

[cutter]

Excellent. I got the invite

My name on chess.com is surgingchaos.

 

[EnigmaticCam]

I didn't get one, mine is the same as my smashboards name, enigmaticcam. You've invited me before

 

[Wikipedia]

Alright, I just sent you an invitation.

 

[EnigmaticCam]

Strange, I haven't received it. Aren't I supposed to get a notification of the invite? I haven't been active for a while, but I wouldn't think that would prevent me from getting it would it?

Edit: I'm a ******, I had the setting turned on that automatically declined tournament/game invites. Sorry, my bad, lol. Can you resend invite one last time? Thanks

 

[Wikipedia]

Oh yeah, I was going to say to you, when I invited you it said, 'Sorry EnigmaticCam is not accepting tournament invites.' But I just sent it to you and it worked so maybe you changed it since then.

 

[EnigmaticCam]

Yes, I got it this time. Thanks again

 

[Lore]

Can't wait to get started with this shiz.

good luck everyone when we start.

 

[~N9NE~]

Shoot, I should have waited. Anyway, good luck to everyone. Hopefully this will be a success unlike last time and there will be regular matches and tournaments.

 

[SkylerOcon]

Not sure if I already posted it here, but just in case I didn't, SkylerOcon is my chess.com user name.

 

[Flamingo]

What's the time limit? We blitzin, yo?

 

[Overload]

What's the time limit? We blitzin, yo?

I think you can blitz only if you and your opponent agree to it.

 

[Wikipedia]

Yeah, if you and your opponent want to get on at the same time you guys can alternate turns as fast as you want, or if you want to do it on another site then just have the loser of that game and resign the game on chess.com that is fine too. But you have a maximum of 3 days to move otherwise.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

I dislike correspondence chess, but I will happily play. my name is korobeniki (no caps)

 

[EnigmaticCam]

It's a good thing I'm doing some practice games because **** I'm rusty. Haven't played in a long time and I'm losing to 1400 rated players, ouch >.> I got some catching up to do

 

[dawgbowl]

send a PM to everyone when games start... or else I might forget.

 

[B-Will]

Wait for me to make a chess.com account lol.

I keep putting it off...

 

[Wikipedia]

dawg: Yeah, don't worry, I will PM everyone.

B-Will: You have until the 20th. But I will start without you if you don't make an account before then

 

[B-Will]

dawg: Yeah, don't worry, I will PM everyone.

B-Will: You have until the 20th. But I will start without you if you don't make an account before then

I love you. That is all I have to say.

but yeah... I'll make one before then!

 

[Overload]

Just so everyone knows, during the tournament I will be willing to play all matches in real time. If you are my opponent and you want to get it all done at that time, let me know.

 

[Wikipedia]

Four more days, there are still several people on the sign up list that have not talked to me about getting an invite because I couldn't find them on chess.com or they haven't made an account yet.

 

[Lore]

ok, I made an account. It's Werekill, same as here.

 

[Lore]

Sorry to double post but...

is this ever going to start?

 

[Overload]

Oh crap this was supposed to start yesterday right? I completely spaced it out, I had to write an essay.

 

[cutter]

The games just haven't started yet. So no worries Overload

 

[B-Will]

bw33

That is my username.

Hope I'm not too late.

 

[Wikipedia]

THANK YOU B-Will

I'm starting the tournament right when B-Will accepts.

 

[Lore]

Heck yeah.

Finally, we can get started. Been practicing at school for this, I've been a bit rusty.

 

[B-Will]

I have accepted.

You all need to tell me what to do next, for I am not familiar with chess.com at all.

 

[digitalmaster287]

I'm up for playing all my games live, if my opponents are up for it...not really sure on how everything works or how to set it up though.

 

[Wikipedia]

Next B-Will you will want to go on chess.com and press on "My Home" on the top right corner. It will then take you to your games, just click on the ones that say "My Move".

I started the tournament, go out and chess with your power.

If I end up facing you I'll do that for sure.

 

[SkylerOcon]

Alright. I'm against Overload and EnigmaticCam first round. I'm not very familiar with Chess.com's tournament interface, so how do I start up a match?

 

[B-Will]

Next B-Will you will want to go on chess.com and press on "My Home" on the top right corner. It will then take you to your games, just click on the ones that say "My Move".

I started the tournament, go out and chess with your power.

I made my move.

This is kind of funny. We are just doing one move at a time? Couldn't these games potentially take like a month if we weren't very active? I mean, ****, we have 3 days to make one move.

Plus, doing these one move at a time would allow an opponent to do research or ask better players what the best move would be, although I do trust us to not do that.

I would rather play a game live. Is there a way to do that?
