umm...how come you have not included me on the opening post?...please correct, thank you.

[Prince_James]

I had thought you had meant "I am draqon with a question". Sorry.

[river-wind]

November looks too busy, but I'd be up for joining in on the next round.

[Prince_James]

Great River-wind. We'll be glad to have you for December or something.

[Prince_James]

Only one more person needed for an 8 man, three round tournament. Who else is up for it?

[purple_hairstreak]

don't know how to play

[Absane]

don't know how to play

Easy.. just let Yahoo Chess tell you if your move if valid or not. If it is, don't worry.. you will probably win

[riku_124]

im in for the chess tornament if i can get on the net at the time, count me in

[phonetic]

yay

[Voodoo Child]

Here's an idea:

White
Prince James
Absane
Dragon
Voodoo Child

Black
Lixluke
Oniw17
phonetic
..

1 d4

Move anytime your team gets a go. First in, first served.
Hmm, perhaps dragon should be black. Oh well.

[Voodoo Child]

I'm in for any other tourney.

[Oniw17]

Will the matches be timed? I always lose from timeout.

[Voodoo Child]

What time limit? I like 5

[Prince_James]

I don't think a time limit will be necessary, unless the majority of people want it.

And as it seems like Riku is in, too.....it seems we got ourselves a tourny. See the updated opening posting for everything.

[Voodoo Child]

You need some time limit to make sure people don't take half an hour a move. If you don't know how long a game will be it is hard to commit to it.

[Prince_James]

Voodoo_Child:

This is true.

hmmm, about 45 minutes for each player? That should make sure that no one takes forever to move, as well as ample time given for a satisfying game.

[Absane]

I want no time limit. I do not have enough experience to make rational moves quickly.

However.. when do we start?

Edit: 45 minutes per player is PLENTLY. At least this way.. if a player dies.. someone will eventually win.

[imaplanck.]

I suck at chess, it bores me, but I'll be in.

[Absane]

Has anyone ever played Hex before? I'd probably rape all of you.
