My rating in Januari was indeed about 1300-1400 ... and now its 935. My current level of play isn't 1300-1400 if you take the time to loo ...[text shortened]... 400 but I hope that I will be able to play again at that level after a slow return to chess.

Welcome back... did you manage to scam the scammers while you were gone?

Hope all is cool anyway 🙂

happens to me all the time... 🙂

Some witty retort that has great argumentative merit. Divinely inspired and so rare as to be all but considered extinct from forums.

And then some twit goes and either redirects the argument or makes the same point before you.... but better.

It's a harsh world MIOdude

The combination of 30 people, 7-TO 7-TB, and groups of 6 gave what we thought to be the best combination of:

a) no real time pressure (average TO and TB)
b) relatively quickly finished (only 2 rounds and small group in final)
c) not too many games per person ie 6x6 (We thought 10 was enough)

maybe next time we'll go bigger...

So who sets up tournaments?

well the tourney looks great Heg, we appreciate it, so thanks to the Lost Bobbys. Its tough, im have a pretty tough group and im just scratchin for a win right now :'(:'(:'(

well this thread died lol. I won my first game of the tourney, im very happy!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

I'm pretty impressed that 10 of the the top 40 players on this site have entered the banded 1800-2500 tournament! Forget the 2005 Championship, this is the tourney to watch when it gets started....

Una : Site Admin sets up the sponsored tourneys; just like normal except the sponsors provide the setup details.

It'syouthatiadore: Thanks for your feedback 🙂 well done on your win and good luck 🙂. P.S you are a jolly person aren't you!?!...

Re <1200 tourney: My apologies to everyone in the <1200 tourney in that it has not started yet. There are Provisional Players in it at the moment. This should not be. Site Admin is taking a look at why this normal system restriction did not seem to work. I am sure it will start soon.

We need 2 more players in the 1800 to 2500 band to kick start a pretty strong tourney. So, who will step once more into the breach?

I will even though i will be destroyed, i look forward to challenge, i am member 30 of the tourney. And yes im very jolly...i have two wins now and waiting for three more...but what a tough game i have going against one ofthe lower 1600s in my group, almost for sure loss. Fun though...maybe ill get a top 5 player and lose both games in 5 moves lol. 😉😉😉😉😉😉😏😏😏😏

Finally, all Lost Bobby Tourneys have begun.

The 1800+ tourney will be quite interesting due to the high concentration of very good players.

good luck to all

How much dude?

As much as possible!

Just a reminder that the Lost Bobbys tournaments are still going strong. I'll post group by group updates in the near future, but the 1800 to 2500 tournament still looks up for grabs!
