My Handicapped Tournament

I miss Drew - he used to put things like the Rating Chart and a list of Smileys with their codes into the forums where we could all collect them. Like Thread 80000.

I manage to checkmate YEAH BOY in 37 moves, which was 2 moves under my limit of 39. I certainly played more aggressively than normal (I was rather hoping to be the underdog).

It was a fun game.

Shows the limitation of the bishop to one color really hurting.

Game 5907407

that was quick.

nice job, first game i think that there was a trade of queens.

i think you'll get your wish of being the lower rated player in the next round....

Currently watching 4 games in progress, but don't know what the move limit is on each. So there's no cliffhanger effect .... 😕

Emashi - 1840 vs badmoon - 1460 31 moves

sorry i never really thought of that.

i changed the min amount of moves to 25 in Yuga's game to see what way it turned out.

I'm confused. Is this round 2 of the previous one or have you started something new?

no, this is the games that are still playing in round one.
someone couldn't play so i let Yuga have another shot.

MissO i asked for your post to be deleted because i don't want the game numbers posted in a public forum.

Current Status of the 4 games still running in Round 1:

(Yuga vs petromichelaki) 8 moves played, target 25
(Carterson vs Sunburnt) 7 moves played, target 20
(Thadeusman vs Phlabibit) 19 moves played, target 33
(Emashi vs badmoon) 20 moves played, target 31

OK by me, I wasn't trying to trigger a discussion, just to let folks know Round 1's quite a way off being finished yet. 🙂

Another point for the lower rated ones!
(and with the extended 25 moves limit)

Game 5903239
