Very exciting! Shame we didn't get to play our game though GW. Maybe we can have an unofficial one sometime, just for the fun

Kamus, I know things are very tight for both of us so I hope we can find a good time soon! Please PM me (on FB preferably!) with what times are good for you Cheers!

Albeit my poor performance, I would like to give a shout out to Gentlewhisper for hosting the tournament, real nice idea and nicely implemented!

So Cheers to a great tourney!

We have a final !
After 4 months (!) of restlessness we finally found two heroes, who will battle it out.


FlintEastwood - Detroitman

As both of you usually don't make videos: it would be cool if you post the time of your game in the schedule thread to give others the chance to capture the game.
I will probably be able to make a vid if you play a game this weekend...but we will see.
Anyway,....2 games to go in the final match, 2 weeks - "FIGHT !"

I'm so excited!

I can do it this weekend saturday or sunday

Saturday sometime during the day sounds fine by me.

FINAL HAPPENING IN A FEW MINUTES!!

Okay sorry guys we messed up the scheduling a little bit and in the end we caught eachother online and played the first game without much pre-warning...no videos or commentators for round one, but here's the game:



We've agreed to play the next one 10pm GMT next Sunday.

It's 20 past...no show from Detroitman...

Okay he's here now...we're on in 5!

The final playoff games. Great tournament guys!




15-15
1-0




5-5
1/2-1/2



5-5
1-0

Congratulations, very nice games.

congratz to detroitman! Looks like flint really messed up in the 2nd playoff game!

I know...brain just turned off for one second and I put the king on the wrong square...such a shame to lose that way, but that's the way it goes.

And thanks to everyone who participated in this tourney, you guys did a great job since the start of the year!
More thanks to gentlewhisper for organizing this tourney! For doing all the pairing and scorekeeping!
There isn't as much to say now... As Detroitman staggers his way to claim the crown! Congratulations!!!!
To Flinteastwood, you did a great job in the previous rounds, almost an unbreakable player, but chess will be chess, there is always bad parts to it: one person has to lose. Hope you good luck next time!

Well, for me, I shall come back and continue my 1.f4 rush (or maybe something else surprising)
