You can play chess on various IM programs, or online, so we should be able to set up a tournament of sorts.

Would anyone be interested in this? I'd love your feedback. 😀

Cheers,

Oy,i have not played chess in many a year.But i'm willing to have a go at it.🙂
 
You can play it on facebook, but if everyone's not too keen on giving out their real name and stuff like that I bet we can find a good website 🙂

Me and my school class ended 9th overall in the Swedish championship for 10-year-olds, lol, but after that I didn't get much better... XD

I'd love to play though! I'm in 🙂
 
What should the tournament system look like? Should everybody just play everybody with 2 points awarded for a win, 1 point for draw, and 0 for loss? Then the persons ranked 1st and 4th will play each other in a "semi final" as well as the ones ranked 2nd and 3rd?

If we get a lot of people to play I guess we could implement quarter finals as well, but then I don't think everybody will be able to play everybody anymore since it will be too time-consuming. We'd have to split the competitors into at least two groups.

I'm just throwing ideas out here, but I suppose we'll have to wait with deciding till we know how many will participate. 😀

2 for a win, 1 for a draw seems to work fairly well.
It really depends on how much participation we get. If there's a lot of interest, we split people into groups of, say, 4, and they all played each other, we then get the winners of each group to play each other, and so on.

If there's less people involved, everyone plays everyone and we simply tally the scores. Can duke it out if there's any ties, too.

Yeah, come to think of it that's a much better idea, I'm just so used to the elimination system in sports! 😀 LOL
 
We're actually up to 6 people already?!? 😱

I love the TMF soooo much right now! This is gonna be epic! 😀
 
I'm in.

Might we want to consider some kind of play-by-mail program? I just think it might be hard for everyone to commit to a certain real-time period, since we all have different schedules, timezones, etc etc.

If we do get enough people in, we ought to do it the way fencing tournaments are run. Smaller groups, randomly configured for round-robin, keeping track of everyone's points. Then once that's done, a direct elimination table where first plays last (or gets a buy into the next round), second plays second last, etc etc. Not sure if that's what you meant, Artoo.

Well all you Americans and Canadians are pretty much in the same timezone regardless, right? Who are the participating Eurotrash here besides myself? It's only Artoo so far, right? I can personally adapt to any time that suits the rest of you, and I'm guessing the limey can do that as well. 🙂
 
Honestly though, I imagine it'll be hell to coordinate. If we get into direct elimination, where we can't pick who faces whom, it might very take a few days to find a time that suits the parties equally. Even without timezone difficulties, scheduling difficulties remain. I, at least, have an erratic and unpredictable schedule, working a handful of part time jobs.
 
Well that's true, but we have all the time in the world 🙂 We might want to think up some sort of forfeiting system though, where if a person is unable to play for yay or so many days then he/she automatically loses the game that was intended to be played during that time.
 
Chess? Why I think I used to play a bit. Its not to hard to remember. Count me in as well.

I'd be quite interested, even though i kinda suck. 😀

If anyone has Chess.com accounts or would be willing to create one, we could play on there. It's the same program that facebook uses.
 
I won a community chess tournament when I was 10 years old. 🙂

...there were only...2 guys besides me but STILL that's cool. 🙁

Anyway I love chess; I'm a novice, but would still love to compete 😀

I'm trying to work out how we could make play happen; I've spoken to a few online chess forums to find out the easiest way of organising a tournament; I'm still waiting on some responses.

I'm thinking play-by-mail (or skype/msn/whatever) would probably work best, as would smaller groups, round-robin style; once you've been allocated a group, organise amongst yourselves when you'll be able to play each other, and both of you let me know the result when it happens so that I can tally it all up. This is probably going to take place over the course of several days, as I don't think we can hope for everyone being able to play over the span of a few hours on one day.

I know some of you have put your interest down earlier on in the thread, but to confirm, please can you PM your confirmation to me so that I can start pitting people against each other? I know we haven't had that much interest as of yet, but (assumimg we get some more people interested) I'm gonna have to limit it to about 16 people tops (at least this time round) so it's gonna be first come first served.

Thanks 🙂
