[SkylerOcon]

Alright. Since this is up, I'm going to go ahead and close the old thread.

 

[SkylerOcon]

EDIT: Man, what's up with my internet today?

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

Alright. Since this is up, I'm going to go ahead and close the old thread.

Wut

This is a separate tournament that Chess with your power.

 

[SkylerOcon]

Well, sorry dude, but I'm not going to allow two seperate chess threads. Either run this tournament once the other one finishes, or keep them both in one thread.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

well then can you move my posts from here to the other chess.com thread and rename the thread to alert people of this new tournament?

 

[~N9NE~]

I'm up for this but I don't know why it couldn't be posted in the old thread.

RIP CWYP2 Thread I felt like it was mine lol

 

[ru5514n]

I will play but most likely only in the faster time controls.

So this is the new chess thread then... Shame. I wanted to see if the old one could get up a 1000 posts.

 

[SkylerOcon]

I'll merge this thread wtih the old one if you guys really want me to, but I think people would be much more inclined to join a tournament in a new thread instead of being confused and lost in an older and much larger thread.

Do you all really want me to merge them?

 

[~N9NE~]

No it's ok keep the new thread, a fresh start is needed. Thanks for the effort Skyler.

Maybe just a title change KoRoBeNiKi, since this thread will be used for both live and correspondence?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

It should be its own new thread, so we should keep this and just edit the title.

Thanks though, Skyler.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

One an admin re-opens up the other chess thread I will rename this on.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

One an admin re-opens up the other chess thread I will rename this on.

Wait. I thought we were just keeping this one...?

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

^^^ It seems like people prefer the other topic. I do think that having a separate topic works better.

Also, if you are chatting in this topic so much, Join the tournament

 

[ru5514n]

Ok, I'm officially joining bullet and blitz tourneys.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

[Terywj [태리]]

What happens when I don't have any ratings again?

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

What happens when I don't have any ratings again?

us ratings aren't required, you just need an established chess.com rating then.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

There's no requirement ranking, right? I haven't played on chess.com in ages, so my rating...

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

There's no requirement ranking, right? I haven't played on chess.com in ages, so my rating...

as long as you have a chess.com account, you can sign up (as in, as long as it in't banned). Also, as long as your internet connection is stable, it is fine.

Blitz, Bullet, standard, long


Join whatever you wish.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I have a Chess.com account, just haven't used it in a long time. I'll sign up for Blitz and Standard, then.

Edit - Post #11,111.

Well for me, Live chess doesn't work since I rarely have time to sit down for a long game, and I don't really care for blitz

Well we don't really have that many people who are currently interest, so I'm not exactly sure when.

 

[EnigmaticCam]

Would any of you be willing to participate in a vote match against us at the mariokart64.com forum? Someone who has a paid account at chess.com will have to create a group for you guys first though. If there's enough interest in it, I'll set one up.

I could create the group, but then I'd have a conflict of interest being in both groups.

 

[~N9NE~]

Back on the chess scene. Would be up for tournaments both online and live. Anyone interested?

Yeah, another tournament would be great. I'm totally up for that.

 

[~N9NE~]

Let's do it. Live, online?

Chess username: N9n3

 

[~N9NE~]

Became a premium member today so I can create online tournaments.

A quick one I threw together http://www.chess.com/tournament/quick-play-warm-up Only 4 places.

If there's interest I can create an invite only one.

So that's Kal, Bees (been corresponding with him on chess.com) and myself interested in a tournament.

The admin for the Super Smash Brothers group on chess.com don't seem to be active but I can try sending them a message. If they don't reply I could try starting our own group?

I have a premium membership so I can make tournaments no problem just think a group on the site would make things smoother.
