Forum Chess Tournament

[DragonFreak]

Sure, I've got a game going with Tantusar and I've sent a request for Rocky. I'll probably close signups in 6 days so the players will be official.

Which reminds me: NSY, if you see this, you need to tell us your chess.com account username.

Edit: or I can PM you, which I probably will right now.

 

[Lakituthequick]

Oh yeah, I could've. Oh well. Also, I prefer embedded games that you have to make it move manually, so you can stop and examine each move.

Yeah, I can do that too. Tomorrow.

Safari won't let me download the PGN, so I have to stick with just plain notations. Here is Rocky64 (white) and I's (black) game.

[Rocker64]

I absolutely sucked in that game.

I'm also sucking in my game with nabs.

Damn, i haven't played chess in way too long

I discovered an animator on the Interwebs. Click. Here's the previous one.

I absolutely sucked in that game.

You can say that, seeing your last move.

 

[DragonFreak]

Thanks! I'm going to start using that now.

Also, her last move was forced. It was literally the only legal move that can be made.

 

[Lakituthequick]

her

 

[DragonFreak]

Fudge, or whatever people's genders are.

If you can't copy and paste, there is a button called Explore, and the notations should be under the board.

Animation.

 

[DragonFreak]

Ok, so Nabber one that one? I'll add the animations of every game up in the first post...tomorrow.

 

[NSY]

My name is NSY2

 

[DragonFreak]

Thanks for the info! I have sent a friend request.

Sign-ups are closed for this tournament, unless anyone else wants to join within today.

 

[Lakituthequick]

I'll just remain commenter.

I have to make an avatar for this yet.

 

[DragonFreak]

Sounds fair. I also updated everything, and everybody's games is posted in the first post.

 

[Lakituthequick]

If I may give a tip, instead of spoilering the links, put them between brackets behind the names like this:

DragonFreak vs. Nabber: 1 (Replay, player was White)

I think that looks nicer then those spoilers on newlines.

Another possibility is marking the white player with gray and just putting "Replay" behind it.

DragonFreak vs. Nabber: 1 (Replay)

Or:

DragonFreak (W) vs. Nabber (B): 1 (Replay)

These are just ideas.

 

[DragonFreak]

Yeah it does actually look better. I'm not much for designing things that look pleasing, just things that do their jobs. I like the latter the best. I'll edit them on the morrow.

 

[Rocker64]

If this is still going on, I technically won against Tant.

I won by him not taking his turn within three days. >.>

 

[DragonFreak]

Actually, yes, I sort of forgot it while waiting for NSY to accept the game.

I won with Tantusaur the same way, I should ask him if he wishes to continue the game. If you can, post the notations here.

 

[Nabber]

yeah tant never moved in my game either so I win

and NSY, accept the damn game already
