Chesschat freestyle tournament number 3

[Garvinator]

Chesschat freestyle tournament number 3- time to start another tournament.

Since the previous finished tournament was a human correspondence tournament, this one will be freestyle.

For those uncertain about what is freestyle chess:

Basically it is anything goes, computer engine use is legal. Database use is legal.

I'd be interested to see if my play is any less bad now that I have a less obsolete assistant (whether it would be a match for Rybka is another story).

[Garvinator]

Ok, that is two entries.

Still looking for more entries- 4 entries required at least. Double round robin as normal.

Still looking for more entries. There has to be at least two more people interested.

Will the defending champion be playing?

Will the defending champion be playing?Unfortunatley not. Need all my time to win the honours tournament. ;)

I will, of course, organise another human corro tournament soon.

The last human corro finished recently, so am seeing how much interest there is for a freestyle tournament.

So far two entrants.

[Garvinator]

KB, looks like it is just us two. Any further takers, only need another two players. Surely a couple of others would like to give freestyle chess a go.

[Garvinator]

So KB, it looks like this tournament is going nowhere in a hurry. Would you like to play a four game match instead?

OK. Hopefully I will be more competitive with my upgraded silicon assistant and will not make any clerical errors!

I will create the four new games once the sub forums have been created. Have pm'ed RW about this.

Or we could just play the four-game match in the existing correspondence games area; it doesn't need a subforum of its own.

I was thinking that maybe after we get started that someone will want to join and play as a third person, or we might pick up a couple more entrants.

Fishing for new entries or surprised I haven't made any moves for several days?

Primary reason for the latter is I was away playing in Tas Champs all weekend and therefore offline. (I was online yesterday but there is always a massive backlog of stuff to be answered and forums to be read before I get back to my games.)

[Kevin Bonham]

There will again be a few days break in moves from me over this weekend. Probably nothing Fri, Sat, Sun and maybe nothing Monday depending on how much I have to catch up on.

I was aware that you were at the Tas Champs, just thought a reminder was helpful.

[Kevin Bonham]

May not be any more moves from me in the two remaining games until Tuesday (away again for the third weekend in a row).
