Originally posted by hammster21Too late. My morning was a bit stressed, and HeyDreza evoked a bit spite in me. I feel the same way; it's correspondence chess, afterall, and it's not like I'm going on friggin holiday here. So, I resigned my game out of annoyance (which was barely out of the opening). I would have liked to continue, but I would never be able to come back from the game I gave away. I wish you the best of luck hammster, as well as all gentlemanly players. Perhaps you would like to do the pairings for the last round? Someone better 😛.
what! don't drop out, use the vacation like I did. If it's only a week it's not going to kill anyone to wait. Just try to get more moves in when you and your opponent are online.
Sure, when my game with sometimes7 is finished with, I'll post the last round games. Thanks for hosting the tourney, I liked the fact that no one gets knocked out after each round, it keeps interest from dying off at the end when theres only two people left.
P.S. How did you choose the pairings for the other rounds?
Originally posted by hammster21Well, since I'm gone, you don't have to worry about byes for anyone. Just take all winners from this round and pair them with each other in the last round. Likewise with losers. Since it is the final round, try to pair the two best scoring players together (provided they haven't already played in a previous round). That's pretty much it. It will be helpful to look at the pairings for all the other rounds to give you an idea. Thanks for taking over, and good luck to you and everyone.

It was an interesting endgame as sometimes7 had three pawns for my bishop, but all of his pawns were on the wrong color squares. The final round postings and current standings will be posted later today.

Will wait until the 3 day timebank I originally entered to expire.(which he earlier acknowledged. Thanks.
Originally posted by dpccGive Iluphade a few more days, maybe use it to study your opponent. Let me know if theres no progress. We also have another problem, seems chesskid001 has left the site. He has not moved in 14 days. We'll give him a few more days otherwise EmLasker will win that game by default.

Originally posted by hammster21Ok, I will wait for Iluphade for several days. He lost recently two games due to timeouts. Tnx.
