Quick tournament note
So things do come down to the final game. With l3rucewayne’s upset victory over drunknknite, the Wahrheit vs drunknknite match will decide the winner. Wahrheit needs a straight-out win, but he does have the White pieces.
To add to the drama, these two recently dueled in a tense OTB encounter at the Reno Chess Club.
You can’t script things much better than that.
Allen is probably breathing a sigh of relief, as he no longer has to worry about spending $5 on a McDonald’s gift card.




drunknknite, how about 9:15 pm Monday?

Reply to Wahrheit@Polly: But if they both get good luck, it’ll cancel each other out.
@Allen: Well, no one’s stopping you…
@BDK: FICS. It’s free, w00t.
@Wahrheit: Thanks, I will be there!
Reply to DonnieYou missed a rout. No tiebreak necessary.
Reply to drunknkniteYeah, don’t be too charitable in your description of the game, my friend. It was worse than a rout, it was like Bambi v. Godzilla, like, well, Hell.
Congratulations on winning the tournament!
Reply to WahrheitThanks for the result! Unfortunately, I collapsed in exhaustion about 45 min before game time so missed it…
A proper tournament conclusion/celebration/coronation upcoming.
Reply to DonnieI tried to tell you Kung Fu is no match for a Howitzer
Reply to drunknkniteI feel like MacArthur right now, driven out of the Philippines hiding in a submarine, but I WILL RETURN.
Reply to WahrheitI can’t send out gift cards for anything less than perfection!
Reply to AllenWith some luck, I won my last round game against chessloser.
