Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too

Nasmichael: I had forgotten about the "Shooting Fish in a Barrel". It started July 20th? Many moons ago. It loks like 6 of us wouldn't be elgible to play because our ratings are outside the range now. I thought I was out of the tournament and hadn't given it much thought, but after seeing your post I went to the tournament chart to see who'd won. There's one game left running. It seems to me that it doesn't matter who wins this game, the winners of the section will be the same. I remember posting on the Feature Request discussion board about moving a tournament wqhen this happens. Quite a few other people posting opinions on it too. IN any case, it would appear that I will be making it to the next round when that last game is finally finished. This is assuming that I under the S-B thingy well enough to know that a three way tie will make all three people advance if each of them beat one of the other's opponent but lost to the other opponent, as is the case here. I'll try to remberhow to move the pieces in Gothic Chess if I do in fact make the next round. :)
Thank you for posting the tournaments. I hope this is one of them stories that you were looking for. I believe the game with me and Mely in that tournament was the best game of Gothic Chess that I've ever played and it was his first loss. I haven't done much since.
