Nah, it's okay. We'll have a rematch later.
I had a plan on how to win anyways, so consider yourself lucky. ;D

I'm curious, though... what exactly happened? And how much time after I said ''BRB''?

And to youngblood: I told you, I didn't close it.

Then, who closed it?

Cool, half the games are done.

Sawdust dropped out, so Gu-rrilla is in his place for Game 5.

Murad, can you message the people who haven't played yet?

In other news, look at this sweet setup. I'm white, and it is black's move.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

It most certainly wasn't me!

This actually helps more often than not. Another cool thing about RHP.

Double post to warn Zerok!

Aw your fucked, that pawn is going to take your queen...then you take the pawn with one of your knights he takes your bishop with his queen.

I moved my queen there on purpose. If he takes it, he loses.

>:D

How? I don't see how you can win if he takes it...

Sweet.

I'll PM him right away.

I don't think he meant that he'd win the whole game, just that the person would lose their queen.

Right now the king can't move for shit because of the dark bishop, if the queen takes it, he can take the other person's queen with his rook.

How would he lose his queen? Cause zerok is white and he is the only one I see losing his queen.....

My move would be pawn to b5 to take your bishop. If he takes the queen the bishop will take the pawn and move to c6. As I look at it that would be check mate.

Sorry for the double post but I must add that is a clever move. It distracts you to looking at the queen and missing the bishop.

Also I will be online all day today. So I am waiting to play my match.

Which website will you be on?

Nope, it'd be mate when I move my white bishop. djconnect's got it right:

Then my move is to attack the rook with my queen by moving it up one space. If black does anything else other than taking my black bishop at that time he's in deep shit. Even taking the bishop still ups me a rook on him, and his kingside pieces are still undeveloped.

Wow, I mounted an incredible comeback on djconnect.

I had 4 pawns, a rook, a knight, and a bishop, whereas he only lost a knight and a pawn and I came back to win it.

I still am at a lost for words on how you did it. I became to relaxed.

5/8 games are done in Round 1.
Round 2 will also have 8 games (less in following rounds).
If we still have noshows by tomorrow morning I'll arrange for some stand-ins.
Anyone who's not in the tourney and wants to be a stand-in please let me know somehow.
Cheers!

You didn't happen to save the move history did ya?

Zerok, wanna play?

Sure gimme a minute.

No it got 'lost'. It was over 50 moves!

Whoah.

Well, technically this game was over 50 moves, but only because we had to set it up on Pogo.
IzzyDude and I played a game of Kings and Pawns, which is great endgame practice. I haven't tried to do a pre-set game on RHP, it may be a subscriber thing. Anyway, white usually goes first but because of the way we did it black got to go first:

Hey that looks interesting, might try that mode.

Im online with pogo right now if anyone wants play me. maurad we need to play though so join.

How did you guys get the board like that with out moving a single pawn? The knights maybe?

Theres a way to set it up like that, I dodn't know how though.

I was going to copy it all down, but when he left the game, the move history and pieces reset.

There was a knight where my queen now is.

Ok, the 48 hours are up, so I'll start accepting stand-ins.

I think Tech and Black-Ops volunteered.
One will play Murad and one will play Gu-rrila, and we'll have to work the remaining game out somehow.

There was a problem with my match from the start. Me and Prinzy2 are at complete ends of the earth. By the time I was long asleep, he had just replied to my pm.
