my thoughts exactly..it appears to be an equal position and with a lot to be done.
I am here to play chess, not to copy from a database. That wont happen again. Where's the creativity in it?
Sometimes the beauty of databases is finding moves better than the suggested database move. It gives you the feeling of out thinking a master, amazing.
Anyways, first round seems to be coming okay, I just ask that people PM me with the result. I'd like the subject to go along the lines of 'Round (whatever we're in) results - (white player) vs. (black player).
Then in the email, post the game and result. It makes my job a little bit easier.
Note - Check my profile for details regarding remaining players in the tournament.

Originally posted by Wayne1324It's your call and you decide. But you could go on for yourself from there on. I've been surprised with myself sometimes because when i go and analyze my games i discover that i did book moves. And the secret to make those kind of moves is stop and look at the board. Some are pretty easy to spot and others you just have to think harder.

Originally posted by AlphaAlekhineActually, it's not novel, it's just that most people aren't willing to do the work to get it started. They just whine about how the site doesn't set up tournaments for non-subs.
Novel idea. Is there any idea when another non-members tourney might be held? I'd love to participate.

I want in the next non-sub tourney. I wont use db next time.
Originally posted by ih8sensIf Patzergrl wants to, I could play another "Rnd 1" game...I've left my game space open.
