Game Courier Tournament #3. Vote for which games should be in the third Game Courier tournament.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

ok, i think i have assigned everyone two games except:

todor tchervenkov
calvin pomerantz
bogot bogot
nasmichael farris

you four have one game each.  if you move, i'll assign you another game. 

there's a bunch of anti-king and avalanche chess games, and then a mix to try and get everyone playing two games at once.

please double-check that i assigned white to the correct player in your games.

note: having no idea what fergus used when tagging the rounds (when defining a new round) i just called them 1,2,3... in order from top to bottom as they appear on the chart on this page.

carlos carlos wrote on Mon, Aug 27, 2007 03:19 AM UTC:

oops.

just ignore that game as far as the tournament goes?

i'll get some more games assigned soon.

carlos carlos wrote on Fri, Aug 31, 2007 03:39 AM UTC:

i plan to assign more games this week when some people have timed out of their second-round games.  i'll get it up to four active games each.  at the end of each month, i'll do the same thing (assign enough games so that people have four active games).

does anyone object to this?  if you only want 2 or 3 games going, please say so.

antoine, you know how to delete logs, right?

can you please delete these:

jejujeju-adrian-2007-245-672
adrian-sam_trenholme-2007-232-275
antoinefourriere-rodriguez-2007-245-678

thanks!

i can re-assign that last game properly after it's deleted (or you can if you want).  i can't do it while that one still exists.  the first two don't need to exist at all.

carlos carlos wrote on Mon, Sep 3, 2007 03:46 PM UTC:

i think everyone has four games going now except for joe (two). again, please double-check that i have got the games and sides right...

carlos carlos wrote on Tue, Sep 4, 2007 12:30 AM UTC:

thanks.  and one more:

carlos-jeju-2007-225-244

carlos carlos wrote on Thu, Sep 27, 2007 12:48 PM UTC:

new games assigned, please check... that will probably be it for a good six weeks.

antoine, if you could update the grid again sometime, please do. thanks.

carlos carlos wrote on Tue, Nov 13, 2007 11:13 AM UTC:

antoine/anyone else who knows how,

please delete these logs:
bruck-judgmentality-20070316-504 (wrong time limits)
rodriguez-sibahi-2007-316-497 (never opens)

carlos carlos wrote on Tue, Nov 13, 2007 11:33 AM UTC:

sorry for the long delay, out of the country with unpredictable internet access for the last six weeks.  more games up... again, check your opponents/colors.

also, on games which hadn't been played before, i manually set and slightly altered the time controls to try and avoid the time display error that's been happening.

everyone should have 2-4 active games.

there are only really 13 players taking part in the tournament.  results after all games completed so far:

(points/games completed)

adrian de la campa 5/7
antoine fourriere 6/7
abdul-raman sibahi 1/4
carloscarlos 3/5
david paulowich 5/6
gary gifford 2/2
greg strong 3/5
je ju 1/5
jeremy good 2/6
joe joyce 1/1 
juan rodriguez 1/7
michael schmahl 2/5
todor tchervenkov 3/4
uri bruck 0/5


i guess you could add an extra six wins for everybody if you wanted for all the people who pulled out.

carlos carlos wrote on Wed, Nov 14, 2007 01:37 AM UTC:

thanks, antoine.  i also messed up these modern shatranj games which need to be deleted.  
tchervenkov-jeju-2007-316-504
penswift-carlos-2007-316-527

i'll assign replacement games later today or tomorrow.

carlos carlos wrote on Wed, Nov 14, 2007 10:24 AM UTC:

yeah, i meant shatranj of troy.

gary, i messed up the time settings.  when i saw that game this morning, i had about 18 hours on the clock!

abdul, i guess it's the same either way.  either everybody gets a win against bogot, or nobody does.

carlos carlos wrote on Thu, Nov 15, 2007 03:15 AM UTC:

sorry, antoine.  the shatranj of troy games are wrong again.  i'm pretty sure i entered correct time settings this time, maybe not.  i'll just use the default ones i guess.  

can you delete them again?

carlos carlos wrote on Thu, Nov 15, 2007 01:09 PM UTC:

i'm not sure. i moved, but i don't think the time controls have changed?

carlos carlos wrote on Fri, Nov 16, 2007 12:34 AM UTC:

looks good now, thanks!

carlos carlos wrote on Sun, Nov 25, 2007 10:18 AM UTC:

i just read joe's comment about the email notifications.  how long has this been happening? (i didn't notice because the email address i use is different from the one chessvariants sends out to, i've always just checked the site.)

is it the reason a few tournament games have been lost on time recently?

if so, what should we do about it?  it seems fair to replay any games lost on time for this reason...

carlos carlos wrote on Wed, Jan 2, 2008 10:02 AM UTC:

new games assigned...

do me a favor and check colors, opponents, time controls of your games... 

antoine, there is one weird game i just saw which hasn't seen a move in 44 days, yet nobody has timed out?  any ideas about that one?

i'm not tournament director, but i can answer your question.  that game is
not a tournament game.  tournament games are always assigned i.e. the
inviting and accepting are done automatically.

game between antoine and david is now assigned.

sorry, i thought i assigned this in the last round. i must have typed in one of the usernames incorrectly.

i just assigned several games.  

there needs to be some kind of decision on the players who keep timing out.  the tournament is almost finished.  at the moment, i count 11 active players in the tournament:

antoine fourriere
adrian alvarez de la campa
carlos carlos
david paulowich
gary gifford
je ju
joe joyce
juan rodriguez
michael schmahl
todor tchervenkov
uri bruck

i don't want to spend time assigning all the games that never get played.  how about... if anyone who is inactive reads this and wants to keep playing in the tournament they post here within the next couple of weeks and i'll assign all their remaining games?  any other ideas/solutions?

if it's just the eleven players, there are only the following games that still have to be assigned once players become free:

david paulowich - joe joyce
joe joyce - michael schmahl
michael schmahl - uri bruck

i will assign these as other games finish.

also... antoine fourriere-todor tchervenkov (i can't find the glinski preset!)

finally... last year i accidentally assigned a mir chess 32 game between michael schmahl and greg strong.  that game was never meant to be played (greg never moved and lost on time).  michael was supposed to play mir chess 32 with gary gifford and that game is now active.

good luck!

carlos carlos wrote on Fri, Feb 1, 2008 12:04 AM UTC:

gary, 

this is what i was thinking: if the lost players don't confirm an interest within two weeks, they forfeit all their remaining games.

carlos carlos wrote on Fri, Feb 1, 2008 12:06 AM UTC:

joe, 

i'm sick of you holding up the tournament with your slow-play!

only kidding.  if you both make your first move, that should give antoine enough time to see this and change the time settings on the game...

carlos carlos wrote on Sun, Feb 3, 2008 04:40 PM UTC:

antoine, thanks. i noticed that there is another game with the same problem. adrian-mschmahl-2008-30-525

carlos carlos wrote on Sat, Feb 23, 2008 02:42 AM UTC:

i just assigned the final three games.
