Neither of those statements is true. In actual fact, I will place no worse than fourth... and you will place no worse than fourth... anything further than that is too presumptous... Whatever you like to think, your game is certainly not perfect... out of the games we've played, you have won 66%, and that is far from certain.

Question: if Darth can't play (due to his computer situation. last time I PM'd him, he was at a 'net cafe), do I get a bye? Or if not that, can he name a substitute?

Syl, from what I hear, you would win in any event. If I were to play you, I'd adopt the strategy of losing...I know what your type does when they don't win, and I'm partial to my arms.

hopefully it wont come to that, but if it does, Revan can either concede or name one of the beaten quarter finalists to take his place.

I´ll play you on Thursday, I promise Caer. My computer is fine, matt is looking after my flat, and he´s a wizard with computers, I´ve been on the phone with him. We´re catching a flight to England at midnight tonight. :)

Thursday, cool.

Heheh, I appreciate the compliment, Han, but as far as I can tell, Vain still has both of his arms

They have not played yet... Revan's been a no show and now he's at reading Festival... however, Creator can't take his place just yet as the timelimit is monday... I'm going to send Revan a PM asking him to make an effort to play the game with Syl ASAP or else pass his place on.

Sorry for wasting your time Caer. :(

Well done for getting to the quarters, Revan, it was a valiant effort (especially considering you came in late and one match down). :) :D

Well, looks like I'm playing Caer in the semis... if our practice earlier is anything to go by, I'm looking forward to a VERY interesting match!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Semi Finalists:

WELL DONE!

You (us) four will be placed 1, 2, 3 and 4. If you win your next match you will play for first and second, if you lose you will play for third and fourth, either way, you've proved your worth on the chess board.

**Please don't play your semi final until monday**

GOOD LUCK!!!

~-Hierachy-~ And may the force be with me.
