indeed...

yes, this is somewhat painful. looking forward to round 2.

Group 59 decided, thanks to a leader's opponent, who finally resigned...Group 67 will be decided soon, one of the finalists will be timeout

When a player runs out of time, he/she should be autoflagged.

The current holdup is ridiculous.

group 67 is mercifully complete! Get ready for round 2!

Round 2 has started!

Good luck to everybody!

it's getting tough !

Glad to be in group 8 with some familiar foes and the champ from 2006 !

Good Luck To All

Group of death: Group 3, honorable mention group 10.
Easiest group (relatively, of course): Group 8, honorable mention group 5 (especially after the withdrawals of hotrocks and clandarkfire).

Just to make things easier:

Hotrocks didn't entirely withdraw, and wasn't entirely booted either. But 'a little chat' did take place concerning his modus operandi which led him, after a short reflection, to pursue other ventures 🙂

Who said anything about 'chess engines'? I never mentioned 'chess engines'. Only the game moderators know anything about engine use, and I'm not a game mod. If I were to suggest someone was an 'engine user' in a public forum, I could be banned.

So, I do not confirm that the 'little chat' with Hotrocks ever mentioned 'engine use'. No, no, most certainly I do not confirm this. It was a private chat - after which Hotrocks reviewed his relationship with RHP.

Now you understand, yes? 🙂

ahah the pleasures of censorship...
