How about a chess tournament?

[-N-]

I dunno if there's been one done since 2001, but I got the idea for doing this after reading some old PMs about trying to get together for chess matches and stuff.

So, all skill levels are welcome - I think the format will be World Cup style, for a total of 32 people playing anywhere from 3 - 7 matches. Since I'll be in it, I guess the next 31 people to respond in the thread get it. When you do, just add your name to the list and copy paste DUH into the bottom of your post, as well as your level of experience. After that, we'll organize into the divisions (posting your level of experience will help here, to even things out). And then we'll go from there.

Of course, if there's not enough interest, this won't happen. So get interested.

Sticky this, maybe?

I'll consider joining up, but I don't think I could be any worse at this game.

Again? It's only been what, four years?

Last time I lost pretty badly. I regretted entering quite quickly. Guess I don't learn from my mistakes.

I never learned how to play. Sorry Neel.

I need more information, such as times and dates and such, because given my schedule I do not know if I'll even be able to play, although I might be interested. I'm a decent player.

Like the one I remember in 2001, the plan is to organize the players first, and then announce the matches. If I am scheduled to play you, then we just figure out a common time where we can play out the match. When all of the first round matches are decided, then the next matches are announced; so on and so forth. So scheduling is pretty flexible.

[q=gibbi8] I used to be pretty damn good at chess, aint played in years though[/q]I encourage you to join - as I said, it's open to all skill levels, and it's not like there's a fee. Just a commitment to play at least a few matches is all that is necessary.

I'm interested, although I doubt I'd be able to take part in anything during early August, which might count me out. I used to be good for my age, but haven't played in years, so I doubt I'd progress very far in this tournament. Should be fun, though.

How would the games be played, over an IM program or over an independant games website?

sorry guys, I fear that my skill level of chess would throw you all into endless bouts of depression. Wait, is chess for cool people? Because if it's not then I suck at it.

A games website, such as Yahoo!. Whatever is convenient for the two people involved in the match. You just have to report your results to me.

Meh, catch me in a good mood when my games come up. ^.~

BTW: That's an "I'm in".
