I hope you consider joining us anyway. As long as you know the rules, you'll do fine. ;p

When are you going to do this? :P

Whenever I receive a response from all participants, I can begin to schedule a times. First of all I need to actually hear from everybody who wants to participate, and maybe suggested times. I'd also advise you to join as well, regardless of your chess level. I think most of us are unrated players anyway, and we're just doing this for fun. ;p

I'll play, you can schedule me for some time in the evening.

I'm pretty much available all the time xD

I'll try, idk when I'll be available tho

I'll join. My time zone: GMT+1 (+1 for summertime). :D

Fantastic! I'd definitely say we've got enough people, even excluding those who have not verified their entrance.

So, here's the rooster atm:

• Arce
  Eatcomics
  Winawer
  MDK
  Ginto8
  Arti-Ravnos
  Avansc

Now sure how to decide pairing. I'll probably just "do it randomly" on my end, and post (it really doesn't matter, everybody is playing everybody else anyway...)

I feel like if i don't actually post pairing, you douchebags won't actually bother to take the time to figure out who you have/haven't played. So I'll try to post it all here--games, times, and results in the next post.

lol I would try, as long as there weren't too many lol

Here's the list of all of the pairings for the first round. I'll post it in chart format here in a second. Lemme know if I've fucked something up!

So, please folks, begin to coordinate your first game somehow. I don't care if you decide date/time from here, in PM, or what. But you must be sure to email the full game and details to me, or post here, so I may update this post and the tournament scoring. It's preferred if you can arrange a date/time and let me know so I can post it here, so that others may spectate.

With the color of the squares being the color you play at the board.

Avansc, I'm available anytime you are. ;p

Cool. Now, do I get the chance to dereference one of those NULL games and segfault chess?

Reminder I want in on the next one.

Aighty guys, go by the chart (in terms of what color you play) and not the post.

As the games occur, that post will correct itself. So I'm not going to worry about it right this moment. ;p

And, as I said, I'd love to spectate some of these games. So if you work out times, please be sure to post it.

Also, everybody without a chess.com account needs one. Or you can use your facebook. Post here if you need help accessing "Live Chess" and setting up your game with the correct color and time constraints.

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!

Also, Jaus, I've added you to the roster.

OH, and finally...When the tournament is over, we'll have over 90 games. So, everybody will be allowed to elect one of their games they played as "best game" and we'll take a final vote at the end.

I'm at GMT+3. Any evening is fine.

Rounds 2 and 3 Jaus' opponents should be black, I think.

Oh, snap. You're absolutely right. Thanks alot for that catch. ;p
