Fergus, 

For the purposes of making your work easier, I really don't mind what
I'm sceduled not to play.  That being said, I would like to play Shako,
Alice and Dimension X.  Not because I'm particularly skilled in any of
them (check my ranking for verification of that), but because I have
played them.

Ignore my prior list of games I'd rather not play.  Plug me in any place
that makes your efforts easier.

Thanks

As I mentioned in a comment a week or two ago, I'll have unpredictable
internet access from Sept 22 to Oct 8.  I had hoped that I'd have made
enough moves in my first round of games (or even finished them) to bank
enough 'extra' time to not have any time expiration issues.

As the games haven't started yet, I'm a little concerned that I might
get dealt games the day I leave and not even know about them until they
are finished due to time expiration.

If there is any way to sort this out (like a bye in round one or unlimited
time in round one games) it'd be greatly appreciated.  If not, I
understand and will accept my fate.

Thanks.

Thank you very much.

I will repost when I return.

Good luck, all.

Get the next round started, for crying out loud.

Jeremy has 23 active games, is averaging one single move every 4 days in his first round game, and wants to play one game at a time.

Estimated time of completion of the tournament?

Let's see, 19 games times roughly 2 months ... summer of 2010?

My proposal (Proposal '2 every 3')

Rounds 2 and 3 should commence by the end of May, with 2 new rounds beginning every 3 weeks.

That'll get this thing wound up near the end of the year.  

All are welcome to refrain from playing in other games (or at least fewer than 23 other games) if unable to find time to focus on their tournament games.

Let's play 2!

Support proposal 2 every 3!!

Juan Rodriguez, you are both right and wrong.

Mr. Jeremy Good does face you in his next round.  However, your next round match is actually against Uri Bruck.  

Your match vs. Jeremy Good is your 3rd match.  

It may be possible for you to play both the match versus Uri Bruck and the match versus Jeremy Good at the same time, if it is agreed that we can handle more than one match at a time.

Vote yes on Proposal 2 every 3!

Jeremy, you're right, you did agree to be playing 2 games at a time from and after June 15th.  

But still, at the pace it's going, we're looking at sometime in 2009.

Maybe I'm just a little anxious to play b/c I got thrashed in a short number of days in my first round game.

Vote Yes on Proposal 2 every 3!

Proposal 2 every 3! goes out to all participants.

The hope is that with enough support the games will get rolling beyond round one.

The reason no 2nd round games have commenced is unknown.

While it may (incorrectly) appear that Jeremy Good's preference for finishing his first round game before starting his second round game was holding up the  commencement of the second round, that is clearly not the case.

He simply and fairly made a request.  Though using his request and projected rate of completion as an example for why to support Proposal 2 every 3!, I didn't mean to single him out or blame him for the lack of progress in this tournament.  If it was read that way by anyone, I apologize.  


I imagine that Fergus is the person who clicks the button that sends out the game invitations, so ultimately this is designed to get his attention.

I hereby withdraw Proposal 2 every 3!

Appreciate the support from all who backed it, but reality shows that it wasn't to be...

While conceding, it isn't the loss that is so bothersome...it's losing to no alternative.

On a serious note, has anyone had any contact from Fergus in the past 5 + weeks?  It seems that the tournament is at a standstill because he hasn't kicked round two into gear.  

If that's because he's busy at work and with the new girlfriend (perhaps even fiance or wife at this point), and with her children (who may be his now as well)...that's outstanding for him, and I support family time over chessvariants time.

What gives me pause is that in the recent past when that was the case he popped in to at least mention it.   I'm hoping to hear from one of you, anyone, that you've been in touch with Fergus and he's well but busy.

Hoping Fergus is busy enjoying his life, and hope to hear from someone that this is the case.

Does anyone know how to see the current standings for Game Courier Tournament #3?

Thanks.

*All those players who are willing to re-start CV Game Courier Tournament #3, please
comment here now.*

I'm willing to re-start.

Agree that if only 7 or 9 original players are active, makes more sense to start fresh.

Jeremy, keep playing me (and beating me) and you'll likely find yourself
on the board!

Great!!  Just what I need, an extra motivated Joe Joyce to dismantle me in under 10 moves.  

Thanks, Carlos.  

Really.  

Thanks.

Thanks David,

I was more interested in all rated games from the group of games deemed 'VINTAGE' in the past 365 days, the results of which are as follows:

Name Userid              GCR            Percent won GCR1 GCR2 

je ju jejujeju            1564 1.0/1 = 100.00%       1564 1564 
Hans Henriksson hasurami  1548 1.5/2 = 75.00%        1548 1548 
darren paull ramalam 1451 0.5/2 =       25.00%       1451 1451 
juan rodriguez rodriguez 1435 0.0/1 =    0.00%       1435 1435 

...and was interested because it's the only way my enthusiastic yet not very skillful abilities will ever find the top of any rankings...

Thanks.
