A question: Times for matches are going to be set by the players themselves? I mean, do I have to estipulate a time with Remedy or do I have to wait a decision from you, you being Jae and DarknessXoXLight? Let me know because I don't have the amount of free time I used to have, sadly.

[DarknessXoXLight]

Each round will last 3 days, in that time it's up to you and your rival to figure out a time to play. It doesn't matter when as long as it gets done in the 3 days. If your rival isn't answering PMs, let nois-or-e know. We'll figure things out from there.

Round ends @ 11:59pm, september 1st

~A tie requires a rematch to be played immediately to discover a winner of the rounds~


For those having trouble getting a game setup

- Log into chess.com, and add your opponent as a friend.
- Go to 'Play' in the top-left, and then click on 'Live chess' (this will take you to a chess board)
- In the bottom right should be a few tabs. Once your opponent is online and entered the live chess, you should be able to see them.
- Click on the 'play' link at the right, and then select the conditions of the game.

- please ensure that you/your opponent have agreed to the same terms. DO NOT bully your opponent into playing a game they do not wish to play, THIS WILL RESULT IN INSTANT DISQUALIFICATION FROM THIS EVENT AND ANY FUTURE CHESS TOURNAMENTS THAT ARE HOSTED BY US. If you do not agree to the terms of the game, you can click ABORT before you make a move.
- If your opponent is uncontactable, or is refusing to agree to a certain length of game, please PM immediately either Darkness or myself. Remember to take screenshots if needed.

IF GAME TERMS CANNOT BE AGREED UPON THE DEFAULT TIME WILL BE 20min+ 10sec

Thread content:

Once your game has concluded, post a screenshot of the end result (it doesn't matter who, as long as one of you posts).

Keep in mind that any chess-related discussion is encouraged in the thread, though attacking another players character or playing style will be severely frowned upon.

Good luck all round 1 competitors!!

[DarknessXoXLight]

Lucky us in the 2nd round huh? :P

[nois-or-e]

Not really. Means the 8 that got random.org'd into R2 have a tough match straight off the bat! D:<

(was too wide for the forum :l )

[lumphoboextreme]

Lol I'm excited. xD

[master q60]

soco beat me very fun idea if it keeps going on

[Artic_counter]

So I get to play against Soco ? xD I wonder how I'll fare :3


Pshhh, what's his main strategy ? xD

[nois-or-e]

gg guys xD Game 1 down, let's see who will be next to front up to the challenge!


Edit: ALL ROUND 1 AND 2 MATCHES MUST BE PLAYED BEFORE ROUND 1 BEFORE ANY LOSERS BRACKET GAMES CAN BE PLAYED!!!!

IF THERE IS A ROUND 2 MATCH THAT YOU ARE A PARTICIPANT IN, YOU DO NOT NEED TO WAIT UNTIL ROUND 2 TO COMPLETE IT.

So, basically round 1 & 2 are one big round to get the whole field down to brackets of x^2

[DarknessXoXLight]

Sorry Brian, it's too late. :/ But we're more than likely gonna be hosting a second tourney once this one is over. You can prepare for that one if you'd like.

[pmonibuv1]

;__;

[ic0slay3r]

lol por pmon he got crushed so fast xD

I wish I could join this, I'm not that good but I can at least defend myself.

[Shikari]

Just lost to Remedy, didn't see anything coming. :///////////////

[remedy1502]

Screenshot for me and shikari

[igotrhythm]

No SS, but that was because the material imbalance was just so ****ing embarrassing in his favor. Resigned after it was something like 26-7 on the 25th move.

GG for Emerald, whereas I better start hitting the goddamn books.

Edit: You can check our Live Chess profiles for the result, but if you're insistent on an SS:

[nois-or-e]

4 out of 16 Round 1/2 games played already? Hell yeah guys!!
If this pace keeps up, we might be able to start Round 1/2 loser brackets & round 3 winners brackets at the end of round 1!!!

Keep it up guys, and remember, if you can't get a hold of your opponent, pm me immediately. Would hate to be forced into a random.org decider on who gets elim'd.

[CammyGoesRawr]

me and 0 are planning to play our round sometime in the next 15-20 hours.
You're next, Jae (:
Btw, i have dubbed my game face for chess (picture on top) and FFR (picture on bottom)
