Finals
[s][b]One Page Memory[s][b] VS. Sr18
3rd/4th place Match
chilfutz VS. jkillashark
Taken from my blog:
Hello,
3.5-2.5. 6 games. 6 epic battles. In the end, only one winner.
Congratulations to One Page Memory who defeated Sr18 in a narrow and tight series, with a final score of 3.5-2.5. He is the first TL chess champion: I sincerely wish him the best of luck in this next tournament, the TL Chess Championship.
However, with that in mind, we do have to realize that it all came down to game 6: and we all now, that it could be possible that if this was just another day, Sr18 would be in the same position as OPM. So to be honest, congratulations to both of them for showing they are currently (as we know) the best chess players on TL.
The final bracket for the TL Chess Tournament:
Finals
One Page Memory VS. Sr18 (3.5-2.5)
3rd/4th place Match
chilfutz VS. jkillashark
[losers final is to be played]
But with that in mind, will we find a better chess player, a person who can reach the top, someone who can defeat our current champion OPM? Well, I am proud to announce that the 2nd TL Chess Championships (as it is now called) is underway, in the round of 32 (single-elimination bracket). Good luck to all, and especially to the defending champion! The bracket is as follows:

Lolz, this it the only way to spark interest. I added a summary + bolded/underlined some stuff.
Oh, and I just realized something: there is a 99% chance that some idiot will come strolling in here and say a combination of things about the cash prize such as and including stuff like 'he will never pay us', etc., etc....so for the record, AT THIS MOMENT, simply sign up, later on, I will probably arrange some sort of way to transfer the money to a PP account of some well-known person on here.
Thanks.

Created a list of players who have signed up.
|
For now sign me up. I keep my right to withdraw if I don't like the conditions.
|
Same as One Page Memory.
I would advice against a cash prize though. Cash prize tournaments have a tendency to lure out the computer assistance users amongst the chess players.
|
^^
Hm....well put it this way, if I get a large amount of people who would want to play WITHOUT a cash prize, I'll go with the flow and say no to that. But then again, how hard is it for me, or some other person I might ask to analyze the games to find computer assistance? Seeing as most players here are probably averege, with some above-averege (generalization of course) it would be blatantly obvious. For the time being, I'll let it stay, but who knows.
|
Oh and sorry for double post, but something useful to me would be for example, from both you Sr18 and One Page Memory, what would be conditions that you wouldn't like? (Well the money I understand from Sr18, anything else?). What would you like? I need a lot of feedback and suggestions.

Okay, guys one more thing, should I just take the first 16 names (that would easy :D: I'm a bit lazy hehe) or should I wait a while and then randomly pick names?
Edit: I've decided to do the first 16 names. Why? Well if all goes well, we might do another, so it's not like everybody has missed out on it. Plus, this way, we can start very quickly.

I'd like to play. I'll be free as long as you give me a notice beforehand.
Honestly, cash prize doesn't matter to me. All I really care about is for people to play, not just say that they will and disappear.
|
^^
Okay, that's fine. We only need 11 more players, so at this pace, we'll have the match-ups probably figured out in like 1-2 days. Most people don't really care about the prize anymore, so I might drop that: I'll still give it a thought. (for the time being, I will remove it).

Cash prizes only inspire people to cheat.
unfortunate I can't participate, due to other commitments in the next little bit.
gl organizing though.
|
Okay, so fine, it's settled: no cash prize. Is there anyway to change the topic title? (or maybe I will leave it there to attract attention lolz  )), and thanks mikeymoo.
