Tournament of Lepers II Update
The pairings will be announced on June 1, so that it’s after the Memorial Day weekend and gives the people at Squirrel Chess a chance to get back from traveling.
For the uninitiated, this an online chess tournament where chess bloggers show off their epeen. Or not; the amount of trash talk has been sorely deficient. We play one 15/30 game a week, and you get a chance to win your way to a $5 McDonald’s gift card. (Or lose your way to it, that works too.) So grab yourself an FICS account, let me know your handle, and you’re in.
nice use of epeen there. you are so hip, old people fall down and break you. sorry i won’t be in this iteration of the tournament, but i’ll most likely be in the next one, if there is a next one.
Reply to chessloserYou know, I should have found out what epeen stood for BEFORE using it.
And…I will be sure to steal the hip joke from you in the future.
Reply to DonnieYes I would enjoy being a Leper. I play under the name takchessguy on FICS
