crasx July 24, 2013 Share crasx GC Alumni July 24, 2013 Anyone interested in a GC Chess tournament? Chess.com uses the popular and easy-to-understand Round-Robin format for chess tournaments. In round-robin tournaments each player plays every other player in two games (once as white, once as black). Round-robin is very effective because each player plays every other player and then the winner is determined by the score. However, if there are a LOT of players, then round-robin tournaments can take a very long time. Our settings: Still trying to tweak/understand this. Everyone plays eachother twice so you will play 18 games... 2 at a time, timerules can either be 2/3 days per move Players: (who-chess.com name) crasx - tehcrasx Leone- Leonebluen Walkingcat - walkingcat MPG - maestropg Pronounce- echo_78 Shaft- shafiel MasterTalpa - Talapia501st Biggs - BiggsChess Avengers - AvengersArmy hatter274-hatter274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crasx August 13, 2013 Author Share crasx GC Alumni August 13, 2013 I... Need to figure this out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasx August 15, 2013 Author Share crasx GC Alumni August 15, 2013 sorry for the delay on this. I found out we can use chess.com for a private tournament so make an account there. Problem is to make a tournament you need a paid account with lless than a 10% timeout ratio in the last 90 days. I timed out a game june 20th and my ratio is 33% (I've only played 3 games -_-). So, I have the paid account, and i'm playing a few other games to lower that ratio... good news is I get to practice to bring my B game to the tournament unfortunately everyone im playing right now is just trying to do that stupid knight/bishop c2 attack and its driving me crazy.
