Tournament of Lepers 2, Week 3
| Week 3 Pairings | |
| White | Black |
| Polly | Chessaholic |
| Sciurus | Drunknknite |
| Blunderprone | Tom |
| Takchess | Wang |
| Wahrheit | Ivan |
| Donnie | The Bye |
Once I get the rest of the results, I’ll do the crosstable. Has drunknknite become “The Bye” of the Alex Chiu division? He hasn’t updated his blog in a while and I hadn’t heard that he played either of the first two games.
Hey Drunknknite: Everything after Wed would be perfect for me, but let me know if you prefer something earlier in the week and I see what I can do.
Donnie: Good that domain quality control caught management!

I was schedule to play drunknknite in week 1. We have not been able to play yet. He told me at that time that he was very busy right now and may have to withdraw.
Comment by Tom | 23 June 2008
Ivan–10 pm is fine. I’ll talk to you then.
Comment by Wahrheit | 23 June 2008
Tom, I have some freedom at nights on my end. Let’s pick a night. I like to get this done early in the week. email me at george dot duval at comcast dot net.
I am EST what timezone are you?
Comment by Blunderprone | 23 June 2008
Blunderprone,
I also am in the EST. I emailed you but I thought I would leave a comment here also.
How about Tuesday night - 8 or 9pm?
Comment by Tom | 23 June 2008
9 Tom, 9PM tuesday sounds good. Let’s plan on it.
Comment by Blunderprone | 23 June 2008
hm.. if drunknknight withdraws, the chance of someone achieving perfection of superiority rises substantially. Although this is balanced out by the decrease in chances of someone achieving perfect of mediocirty….
Comment by Allen | 23 June 2008
Polly: How’s tomorrow (Tuesday) at around 7PM PST?
Comment by Chessaholic | 23 June 2008
Chessaholic: 7 PM should be fine. Hunbby has biology test at 6:30.

Wahrheit vs Ivan 0-1
Comment by Ivan | 24 June 2008
It’s going to be very tough for me to play. I’m in Israel right now for the next two weeks which makes the time hard to work out, and also I’ve just been really busy. So I think I will have to withdraw unfortunately. Sorry guys…
Comment by drunknknite | 24 June 2008
Drunknknite: no worries, enjoy your stay in Israel!
Donnie: let me know if you get bored playing The Bye this week. I’d like to play, even if it is out of the official competition (having lost my first two games I sure won’t win anyway).
Comment by Sciurus | 24 June 2008
Blunderprone and I played to a draw.
Comment by Tom | 24 June 2008
Yes indeed. A nice Slav against a QGD transposed from a London start. I blundered first! then I was given a chance to redeem… but faced with a deadly embrace… it was agreed upon a draw. How to post the game to tacticus is still a perplexing problem to me. Feel free to rip them form FICS.
Comment by Blunderprone | 24 June 2008
Hey Polly, didn’t see you online today at 7 PM PST? We can play tomorrow at the same time if that works for you.
Comment by Chessaholic | 24 June 2008
Unfortunately, work had me tied up. Was planning on at least catching a bit of the games.
@Drunknknite: Unfortunate, but thanks for letting us know. Enjoy your stay in Israel!
@Sciurus: I’ll be on sporadically, but if let me know when you are usually able to get on, I’ll try to hang around during those times.
Comment by Donnie | 24 June 2008
Chessholic: I got the time messed up, but also the time zone. 7 PM PST That’s 10 PM EST. That works fine. I’ll see you tonight. Sorry about the mix up.
Comment by Polly | 25 June 2008
Who is going to the World Open
I know that
likesforests and chessloser are going.
There is a good chance I will be in the U2000 section.
Comment by Ivan | 25 June 2008
Polly: ugh, today it was my turn to mess things up…. got tied up at work and didn’t make it home in time for our game, sorry if you waited for me. How’s tomorrow (Thursday) at 7 PM PST or alternatively Saturday 10 AM PST?

@Ivan: If there are more than two links in a comment, it automatically gets sent to the moderation bin. (Including the word “sister” will also send it to moderation if you wish to send me anything not for the public).
I probably should make some sort of whitelist, but am not sure if there’s the capability.
Comment by Donnie | 26 June 2008
Hi Chessaholic. Thursday is not good for me. I’ll be having my weekly cracktion fix at the Marshall CC. I’m not totally sure about my Saturday plans yet. If you could do 1 or 2 pm pst on Saturday that would work better for me. Friday evening also works. I’m getting into time pressure as I leave the country on Monday. I don’t think anyone can deal with the 11 hour difference!
Comment by Polly | 26 June 2008
Hi Polly: Saturday 1 PM PST works for me too, so let’s aim for that. If your Saturday plans change, we’ll find another time even with the 11h difference
Comment by Chessaholic | 26 June 2008
Cool, Looks like I get Drunkn-Bye in week 4 which is perfect since I will be in PHILLY! Woot!
Comment by Blunderprone | 27 June 2008
that works for me. that will be 4 pm my time which falls nicely between early afternoon stuff and dinner plans.
Comment by Polly | 27 June 2008
Somehow I managed to win against Polly.
Comment by Chessaholic | 28 June 2008
Maybe I needed to screw up the time zone thing again. Fritz seemed to like the bishop trade better then moving it. Fritz also thought I should have moved my king sooner. Nice win. You played ending nicely.
PS. To whom ever I’m playing next week. I think the 11 hour time difference is going to be too hard to manage. At 9 am Seoul time I don’t think I’m gonna be sitting in my hotel room surfing the net. Unless you can play at noon when it will be 11 pmthe following day I don’t think it will work.
