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

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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