Of course we should somehow figure out how to tell people that the dude is at their table for it to make sense. Depending on the number of people one way could be saying - okay you have t amount of minutes after I make my move plus you can ask for 3 timeouts when you won't need to move in that round should you need more time to analyze. I don't know. I kind of feel bad because this came up to me too late, it would be more fun with more advertising and more people could or possibly would join. | ||

What I had in mind was pretty simple: you simply start as many games as you feel you're up to playing at once/you have takers for. Each game has its own thread, and a move happens whenever someone makes one. You know to check back for a move when you see that one of your opponents has made a new post in that game's thread, and, likewise, he knows that you've made a move when he sees your post in the thread. If there's no time limit, nobody has to worry about when "the dude is at their table". | ||

No there's no real chance to simulate that. So in theory there's no limit, but in practice there is and we have to simulate that somehow, even if by not a constantly running clock. Imposing no time limit whatsoever might make it very tedious. I'm just thinking of possibilities that's all. | ||

I think they would make an exception for a bigger event and just close them down right when it's over and we could just link to the different games after it's all done. I wonder if there's enough time till Saturday to get people or should I just push it out to a later time. I might just give another longer streaming session with 8-12 hours this time or I don't know. We could make the simultan be 960 random as well to spice it up. | ||

Howsobeit, if anyone is interested in analyzing this game--and in particular if you like endgames--check out this position, please. It's an endgame that we might be heading into. It doesn't look quite as favorable for us as I'd have hoped, but at least we still have our extra pawns, for the moment. We may not have a good way to avoid it, so it's quite important to have an idea of what our chances are in this endgame. | ||

Even if I were a better chess player than I am, "two are [qualitatively] better than one", as the Collector says, because each can correct the other's mistakes, or point out the things he's missed.

Can you make two threads playing the same game, each playing a different color? (Eg, one thread plays black, one plays white). Discussion for moves goes in their respective forums. Divvying up the teams would be a problem though... | ||

+ Show Spoiler + You guys sound so concerned about losing a tempo with Nd2, but that's what has been happening. Bf4-Re3 and the knight moving back and forth between f3 and d2. When in the end the rook got exchanged and if you decide to take back with bishop it will still end up on e3. At the same time black's light squared bishop ended up on the best possible diagonal for now, the dark one is blocking your only occupied open file, and the two rooks miraculously ended up on the same open diagonal - where one will stay even after the exchange. I don't think Nd2 was the largest concern here in sense of losing time... Black hasn't made a single pawn move since a5, just advanced the heavier pieces to good squares. Can you tell that white's pieces are at their proper place could be one very important and sensible question here. | ||

I was busy with MLG weekend. So for the next move. + Show Spoiler + I think fxe is better than Bxe3, but I still need to think it over. | ||
