If you were in XX but don't want to be in XXI, you have a limited time to let me know!

If you were not in XX but want to play, you have a limited time to let me know!

[Jonas Grumby]

I'm in!

[Mick Fan]

After 20 straight, I'm sitting this one out. I'm playing horrible and maybe I need a break.

[notreallyme]

I suck but may be interested, if it would work out. Haven't even probably played in 10 years +.

[Darth Tater]

After 20 straight, I'm sitting this one out. I'm playing horrible and maybe I need a break.

I second the second part of this statement for myself.

Thus, I'm out for a season or two -- playing Chess Tiger and maybe Hiarcs soon will sharpen me up and I'll be back.

I'm way behind on reading too...

I'm gonna keep swinging away at three checks for a while longer.

Ya'll have fun.

Darth.

[Mel-o-rama]

I'm still in - though last season was a bear for me!!

[Drewby]

I'm in, but I wouldn't let WCBrown in this time...a no=show in one season ought to bring a ban of some time...

[RedSoxFan]

I updated the first post to reflect everything written thus far in the thread.

Sorry to see you taking a break Mick Fan! I think that leaves Charlie Brown, Hagbard Celine, Werewolf, and 1695814 as the only ones to play in every season.

[Mel-o-rama]

Oops - I meant to say I'm in!

[1695814]

II think that leaves Charlie Brown, Hagbard Celine, Werewolf, and 1695814 as the only ones to play in every season.There should be a pin for that! :geek:, perhaps

[Jonas Grumby]

Sweet!


Didn't we elect Hagbard's the official avatar of AO Chess? Just trying to remember....

[Gene Yuss]

I think that leaves Charlie Brown, Hagbard Celine, Werewolf, and 1695814 as the only ones to play in every season.

I think I'm in that elite group too, aren't I?

Ahem. I can think of at least 1 other.

[carrytheCrøss]

I'm curious: how long does an average game last and what's the time commitment? I read this in one of the stickied threads:
Intro to Actuarial Outpost Chess Events

Welcome to chess on the Actuarial Outpost. We have over 30 players who regularly play in the events we have here. We play chess correspondence style on our very own chess server. Players are generally expected to make at least one move per day, though many move more rapidly.

Thanks.

Edit: Also, how does one get suspended?

[Abstract Actuary]

The games can last anywhere from 3 days to 3 months depending on how fast the two players move. You have two weeks to make every move. Many players make about 1 move per day (probably at night). Some players make their moves almost immediately after you make your move. If you have two of those players whole games can be finished in the first week.


I don't think anyone really gets suspended. A player recently signed up for this last season and then never even made a move or accepted his challenges, which almost never occurs.

[RedSoxFan]

I think I'm in that elite group too, aren't I?
Ahem. I can think of at least 1 other.
Sorry guys! I have now specially identified all of you in the first post.

huh? wha? en ymmärää. :-?

[Abstract Actuary]

The games disappear from our server if a move isn't made in 2 weeks. So technically that is the longest you can wait to make a move (I guess if someone recorded the game you could replay it to that point). I never wait that long to move (usually it's between 2 minutes and 2 hours).

[Mel-o-rama]

Don't forget me! I want to play too!

By the way, I arbitarily reversed course, and in my priority for the pairings, I decided it was more important to even a player's colors inside the season than it was to make sure that the colors between a matchup were the opposite of when two players last played each other in league play. However, in the future, I will make it a priority to avoid having a certain pair play the same colors against each other three league games in a row.

[Gene Yuss]

Sorry guys! I have now specially identified all of you in the first post.

Aww, that's so sweet. Thanks RSF (and thanks for keeping this Chess League going, it's truly a nice diversion).

To group B players: I'll be unavailable for the next week beginning tomorrow, so I probably won't be starting any of my games until the 27th or so. Sorry.

[Klaymen]

Wow didn't expect to hit the bottom. Well, nowhere to go but up....

[Drewby]

Wow didn't expect to hit the bottom. Well, nowhere to go but up....

I'm thinking maybe you and I should switch places...

Well, if not now, then in a few weeks when the season is over!!!

[Jonas Grumby]

I checkmated the Abstract Actuary as black in the following game.

Midway through this I was reminded of a Yasser Seirawan comment from his annotation of a game for Inside Chess, when he paused to write disdainfully, "I sometimes wonder what the Najdorf has to do with chess."

Likewise. And...

Game 1: waiting on move 4
Game 2: waiting on move 13
Game 3: opponent hasn't even responded yet
Game 4: 59 moves and done

:lol: Beautiful.

RSF, I don't know if you missed it, but I had sent you a PM saying that I wasn't going to participate for a while.

Sorry to those in the lowest bracket. I guess you all get one freebee.

I was thinking about resigning. :shrug:

Just got a book, hopefully as time goes on I will be more of a challenge. (Though probably not much more)

There is a lot to this game :duh:

I defeated rekrap as white. This game was fairly close most of the time; my one big messup was move 17, I did not anticipate the obvious response for black and there were much better alternatives. It was also eerie turning down a couple of draw offers when things were close, but it paid off in the long run. Good game!

[Jonas Grumby]

Has anyone received moves from ramanujan? He hasn't moved in our game since August!

[Cynical Realist]

To think that I was close last game against you. Maybe that chance will come again in the future but it doesn't appear like it will be happening any time soon.

Good game, CR. You're a very good chess player.

But equally out of the Rebel Forum Fantasy Baseball Playoffs - but I guess we did pretty good for having the 19th & 20th picks.

[Suthrn]

Has anyone received moves from ramanujan? He hasn't moved in our game since August!

No I have not either - our game will expire soon.

[Jonas Grumby]

No I have not either - our game will expire soon.

The two greatest words in the English language: de-fault!

I resigned to 1695814 with black. I was under attack the final 20 moves...I kept absorbing the pressure without losing too much, hoping it would eventually peter out...unfortunately he kept finding the perfect move to keep adding to it. Eventually I was sunk. :( Good game!

No, just one.

Lots of people will play just for fun if you're looking to pick up extra games. Playing's the only way to get better. I had an epic series of exhibition games with Charlie Brown...we must have played 50 games and I must have lost about 49 of them. It wasn't fun, but I consider myself a better player now than I was then.

[1695814]

I was under attack the final 20 moves...I kept absorbing the pressure without losing too much, hoping it would eventually peter out...unfortunately he kept finding the perfect move to keep adding to it. Eventually I was sunk. :( Good game!
Yeah, that was fun.

A while back you said this about our matchups:Another memorable game....that makes 2 in a row for us. We always seem to have back and forth battles. It's certainly still true.

[1695814]

Don't we play one game on each side?In addition to what HC said, the next time that you play that particular opponent, you'll be assigned the opposite color. (There may be exceptions, but this is the general rule.)

Good game! I don't know why I let myself walk into a pawn forking minors situation. The sad thing is - I set up that trap for myself!! And there was no getting out of it, though I tried (and hoped you made a mistake). In the end, it was evident that your two bishops would dominate and my extra pawns would all fall.

One day I'll beat you in regular chess. Now it looks like you and I have a date with 3-checks!! Good luck!

Wow! Having played chess myself, I can see what an exciting game this was. Mel-o really screwed up on move 21 - needlessly giving up his minor. Up till then, it's cool how he wins Kohl's rook.

Then Mel-o-pushes his pawn and with all kinds of threats, Kohl couldn't answer all of them. At times it looks like he might get a back-rank mate on Mel-o, but it never came to pass. An exciting game, you two!!!

Well, Mel-o, what were you thinking? Lose a minor in the end with no hopes of recovery? You couldn't even last 20 moves with the Rick Man! This Rick_G is a force to be reckoned with. Watch him carefully!!

[Mel-o-rama]

Hey - I'm back from the dead. It's great to be alive again! Thanks for putting up my games, Mel. But did you really need to add the commentary?

Those were both fun games, by the way. It looks like I'm done for this season. 2 and 2 for me!

[Suthrn]

Caracarn (black) and I agreed to a draw. Good game.

[Cynical Realist]

Rick G (white) - CR ends in a draw with both threatening mate and a perpetual check by black. A bit of a wild ending.

I at one point have both knights on the edge of the board, always a strategic place for them. White is crushing the King Side, but leaves his King vulnerable and unprotected in the back. Eventually I gamble, I can infiltrate the queen side and get a perpetual at the least and he can't mate me by one move in the interim.

The alternative would have been to fall back and defend, but with badly placed pieces, it might have been tough. OTOH, white's bishop is pretty much not doing much either but holding the Q-Pawn.

Good Game Rick G.

CR, that was an exciting game. I frankly overlooked your perpetual check.

Rick G resigned to me in our game. Good game, Rick.

Rick G resigned to me in our game. Good game, Rick.It was going well for a while. After I missed your threat at move 19, I was in trouble. Downhill after that!

[RedSoxFan]

We're almost done! Should be about time to get started on the next session!

Rick G / Kohl, can I get an update on your game?
