the table won't paste properly into a comment. any ideas? it's just a regular spreadsheet table.
here's the leaderboard though. possible score is in brackets.
GG 11.5 (12.5) AF 11 (12) CC 9 (9) DP 8.5 (9.5) JJ 7.5 (10.5) MS 7 (9) TT 6.5 (8.5) AA 6 (6) GS 5 (5) Je 4 (7) JG 3 (3) UB 2 (3) AR 2 (2) JR 1 (1)
so gary needs at least a half-point from his last game to win the tournament (i think he would win on the countback rules fergus used). antoine could win the tournament if he beats todor and gary loses to michael.
3rd-7th all depend on results from the final round of games too. joe has the third highest possible score at this stage.
gary, can pawns promote to anything? can a horse-apult fire the other horse-apult?
ok, i'll play if enough people sign up. a couple of things - several important GC3 games are still in progress and could go on for a while. that could affect registration... i also think the 48-hour window for vetoes is too short - a week might be better.
updated scores (sorry for the ugly format): GG 12.5 (12.5) AF 11 (12) CC 9 (9) JJ 8.5 (10.5) DP 8.5 (9.5) MS 7 (8) TT 6.5 (8.5) AA 6 (6) GS 5 (5) Je 4 (6) JG 3 (3) UB 2 (3) AR 2 (2) JR 1 (1) gary goes unbeaten and defends his GC2 title. there are still a few games going on but congratulations gary and antoine, who are guaranteed first and second. way too good again...
updated scores (sorry for the ugly format, got anything better david?): GG 12.5 (12.5) AF 12 (12) CC 9 (9) JJ 8.5 (10.5) DP 8.5 (9.5) MS 7 (8) TT 6.5 (7.5) AA 6 (6) GS 5 (5) Je 5 (6) JG 3 (3) AR 2 (2) UB 2 (2) JR 1 (1) dead-heats: AR beats UB GS beats Je (although Je still has a possible point) third and fourth place still up for grabs.
about the rules of wormhole chess: the trapped pawns on d3 and d8 are allowed a single diagonal move to begin. i don't think this is written in the rules.
seeing as we are allowed to veto for any reason at all, i'll go for... circular chess with crooked bishops and queen eight stone hammer chess hostage chess racing kings rococo save the standard 13x13 titan chess
most games are up. charles, which preset do you want to use: Charles Birds (vs Donut) you can check on the games by entering PL1 in the games field. counting them, the joe-juan game of atlantean doesn't show up tho, not sure why. for some reason something is wrong with the games involving graeme. maybe i used the wrong username. graeme, if you can't access those games let me know. however, i don't have the power to delete/alter games so i guess i will just reassign them.
i wondered about that. i entered grayhawke without the 2, but i noticed that the game logs all say grayhawke2. i'm not sure why that happened, or what to do. maybe you could create a new username if it's no big deal?
graeme, i did enter grayhawke... every time. i don't know why it changed it to grayhawke2.
done! joe, jeju, juan - please move in the new games.
i think all the first round games are up now, let me know if anything is missing/wrong.
yeah, i think i must have forgotten to enter the tournament field for that one...
gary: is it correct that there is no obligation to move out of check (if you can instead capture the opponent's king)?
cool, but see my earlier comment - some of the games you are counting don't count because people lost on time and then didn't really play any games at all... how do you get yours to stay in nice lines?
'It takes by jumping (like piece of draughts but in all directions), jumping an enemy piece diagonally.' so can it or can't it take orthogonally?
No objection from me, Charles. I will try and get onto assigning these games over the weekend.
I don't have the time at the moment to organize GC4 either. Good to see you again, Fergus!
