Man.

I was pretty much on top of my game and I thought I played well. But I am not yet good enough to see from move 12 to move 20. The second game was definitely one of the most fun I've played. Not sure I can add much to your commentary.

In the post where I annotate the game, in the second game, the 18th move is Bxe6 and NOT Qxe6. I might have made a few more errors so feel free to question me if something doesn't look right.

You did play well. You played much better than most average people I encounter when I play chess against non-tournament players. I know this for a few reasons.

1. You were pretty good at understanding the concept that it is wise to try to contest control of the center.

2. You developed your knights and bishops early on at for the most part reasonable places. I know bad play from decent and you definitly knew some good principles.

3. King safety. Many don't ever castle or castle too late.....and sometimes, they castle right into the attack.

So please don't feel too bad. You did play rather well.

Really don't need yahoo IM. Just play chess off yahoo's website and communicate via pm on phatmass.

If you need further help, just pm your opponent or me.

Remember that two games are to be played between assigned players. Once as white, the other as black.

Time Control is G/10 with 15 second increment.

Please have games finished by next Friday at midnight GMT-6.

Report results to me via PM.

Everyone will eventually play everyone. So this will take 5 weeks. If you need a week off for whatever reason...that's cool as long as you let me and your respected opponent know in advance. I know cubfan_1980 needs the second week off so he will just make up a round when he can later.

Any questions, let me know. Have fun.

Win = 1 point, Draw = .5, Loss = 0

Also, if you still have not finished your first round, don't worry about. Just schedule and finish when you can.

TotusTuusMaria

Hey everyone,

I am going to have to bail on the tournament. :weep:

:ohno:

I am SO sorry. Work has just been crazy... very crazy. I am super overwhelmed. I have over-extended myself with work and I just need a break from phatmass for a while and some other things...

Prayers would be appreciated. Sorry I messed up your game cuby and eagle. :weep:

Can't wait to come back and see who has won...
