Made my first moves. I've killed my rating on this site trying to get back into the game. It's been way too long since I've played.

I made my move, playing 2 rounds vs DawgBowl

Skyler: Chess.com has already produced the games, just go to "My Home" and they will be there.
B-Will: Yes, if your opponent agrees to playing live then that's up to you two. But make sure the loser of the live game resigns on the game at chess.com so that it will show up in the tournament as a loss for the loser. But really you guys should just agree to get online at the same time and just play the correspondence game out. Also, yes, this could very likely take a month to complete, just like every other 'with your power'.

Sweet. I don't mind sitting down playing live with my opponent. I prefer it.
Whoever my opponent is...would you want to play live?
Whoever my opponent is...would you want to play live?
Seriously, surgingchaos, whoever you are, I'm taking the full 2-3 days, however long we get, for each of my moves from here on out until we agree on a time and day to play the full game out live. I think this is silly.
Also, wiki is banned, possibly forever, although it remains to be seen. Anyone want to take over this tourney? I sure as hell don't want to. I don't have the time.

Wikipedia thought it'd be funny to have people bug me over AIM via some ******** childish prank.
I told him to quit or I'd ban him, he replied with a smartass answer, and kept doing it.
I understand SWF has some pretty ******** jokes at times, but should never get to the point where I have to shut my aim off to everyone because of it.
He'd gotten a temp ban before for a spam attack on the Pool room, and he's also the alt of a previously permabanned account.
When you're on thin ice like that, you should probably at least try to behave yourself.
You guys can still contact him over AIM.

I wouldn't mind taking over, but I don't have a premium account on chess.com, and even if I did I don't think it's possible for someone else to take over hosting the tourney.
But wiki doesn't need a smashboards account to continue to manage it, he can do it all through chess.com. So I'm sure we can continue the tourney.
B-Will, this is correspondence chess. Not sure if you're familiar with that, but taking a day or two to make a move is the whole idea behind it. Yes, your opponent will have a lot of time to think the move over. He will also be able to use the analyze tool and move pieces around so he doesn't have to think ahead tactically. But so do you. And I also find that given all that I still make tactical mistakes.
I like correspondence chess because it doesn't come with the pressure of needing to be at your computer at a designated time for a designated amount of time. This way you have more competition, as more people are apt to join with less intrusive time constraints.

meh, I don't find playing a game live to be to constraining in time. Are you saying that you don't have like an hour to devote to a chess game? I am an engineering student at a university with a part time job student teaching as well as a life outside of school, and I still am able and wiling to set 1 hour down, on the weekend if need be, to play a live game out. I think playing correspondance chess can be advantageous to those who don't take playing a game live well. Like me, my strength is out thinking an opponent in standard chess, trapping them, making them sweat. With correspondance chess, however, that strength is negated because my opponent now has, what might as well be, an infinite amount of time to make each move. He could literally sit as his computer and mull over a move for hours when a standard game of chess doesn't even take that long.
I feel like by this set-up, ANYONE can win, regardless of skill. I was exagerrating when I said that, but you get the idea.
And, yes, you are right. I am able to move pieces around and use the analyze tool, etc... just like everyone else. Sure, it would be advantageous for me as well. I am arguing about the degree of how much it helps different people. I'll guarantee that it helps other a lot more than it helps me, thus balancing the playing field when it shouldn't. Likewise, this will help me more than it will help better players than I. It's kind of like the popular debate about items in melee or brawl. It helps everyone but yet it still randomizes things.
Anyways, it doesn't matter. I lost because I took too long to move. I lost track of the time.

Well, correspondence chess is what it is. And that's the type of tournament you joined. Personally, I prefer it as it really helps my analyzing skills. I'm able to focus on the position and practice the thinking techniques that I would use over the table in a live game.
But we all have our differences

heh. It's just that when I have been making moves in this tourney, I've been playing it like a live game, taking no longer than a couple minutes to make my move.Well, correspondence chess is what it is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's my fault for not taking advantage of our ability to take longer to analyze a move.
I just don't have the patience right now to do that. Anyways, it seems like I'm still in the game? For some reason, I am able to make a move now. Yesterday, it said that I had lost because of time. Sweetness.

You play 2 games with your opponent, one as black and one as white. Looks like you lost one of them, but you still have the other.
That makes sense except that 1) My rating is still 1200, 2) I am still playing white, and 3) we are playing where we left off (about 6 moves in)!
It's almost like someone extended the time for me.
Seriously, I got an email saying that I lost from chess.com. Refusing to believe it (because I didn't think three days went by) I tried to play the game. I couldn't move because it said that I lost due to time. The yesterday all of a sudden, it said I had six hours left to move in another email sent to me.
It's the same exact game.
Weird.
EnigmaticCam
Smash Ace
Hmm, that is weird. Even when I check your active games, I only see one still going with one completed. And the pairings in the tournament shows one loss. Yet you see two active games?
I am confused. I only see one active game, the original game I've started playing. I made a move yesterday and now surgingchaos, my opponent, has 46 hours left to make the next move.
I have no idea what is going on.
I have no idea what is going on.
you might have already lost or won on time in the other game.
Speaking of which, too bad at Wikipedia being banned.
I won my 2 rounds due to time.
Id prefer a "live" opponent in the next round.
Edit: it turns out you lost the first game on time.

I hope my opponent SkylerOcon makes his moves soon. He's got about 7 hours before time runs out
Oh well that sucks.
Apparently we were playing a game and I didn't even know it. The tourney started without me knowing it.
I lost it and then we played a new one, the one that we are playing right now. I guess it makes sense now...

The first round is nearing it's close. Are people still going to be active or just let their times run out again?
yea, i think i am still in too although we never actually finished a game?
EDIT: I don't understand this tourney thing at all. It seems like I am playing a game against my old opponent and then two more against my new opponent (engimatic cam) all at the same time.
Double EDIT: seriously, can anyone let me know what is going on? Can someone like figure out who is playing who in round two? As of now, I'm playing 2 games against my old opponent and 2 against my new, all in round 2.

Here's the pairings for round 1: http://www.chess.com/tournaments/pairings.html?id=8106&round=1
You were in a group with just surgingchaos. Since you won one game and lost one game, you came out of that bracket with a tie. Basically, you've both moved on to the next round.
I look forward to our games It seems all four of my games against you 2 are queen's pawn games, heh.

all i know is my games between enigmatic and myself are close...although i like my position.
but yeah, they are intense...i may not have the upper hand like i think i do... i want to hear feedback on other games.

i have no choice but to trade my rook with his bishop.

We both made a lot of mistakes, lol. And it looks like the ending wasn't as bad for you as it looked, I only had a slight advantage.
Very interesting games enigmatic. Both unique in its own way and very fun.
So many different things that could have gone differently, especially with our second game. again, very fun!
I'm going to have to look at the analysis more closely. Maybe I was too hasty to resign; I just felt that I had no chance to come back from that one pawn deficit.

Final score gave me a 0.85 score, so i was practically a pawn ahead, it just wasn't happening right at that moment. Who knows what would've happened had we continued. But if you win both your games against SurgingChaos, we'll see each other again in the next round.
I got the computer analysis back.... how do I go about posting it here?
Do I have to download it first or what?
Also, looking at the analysis some questionable moves for sure, at least on my part.
EDIT: Yeah...the number of bad moves I made far outnumbered yours enigmatic. Also, it seems like the computer decided it was better for you take that rook with your bishop rather than just let it be. That was ballsy on your part and almost worked; I felt overwhelmed when you left my rook alone lol.

When you're at the computer analysis page, on the bottom right just below the textbox that tells you whether you or your partner made a mistake are three options: Analysis Board, PGN, and Flip Board. Click the PGN option, and save it as whatever. It's a text file, but use wordpad to open it instead of notepad. Copy and paste here.
Can't wait to see it!

Also...I would love to move on to the next round...but surgingchaos is taking literally like 2 days to make each of his moves so it's going to be a while unless he steps it up...
I have a similar problem with Duke, if I would have known this would have taken this long, I would have asked for a 2 day tournament
due to the fact he has a diamond membership, he has more vacation time
also...my rating is 1716 now on there...heh, I played 2 others in a let's play while waiting for him to finish our game...lol
so far 6 and 0
bumping this, finals, 3 people

heh, it'd be nice if Wikipedia didn't keep losing on time in his own tournaments. Oh well. At least I know the games between the last three of us will be most interesting. Good luck to everyone!
