Nathan, love your new avatar BTW. Escher has always been one of my favourites.

Thanks, the one in my avatar is the first Escher picture I ever saw, my dad had a few of them up in his flat, and they're some of my fondest memories. He also had the reflecting glass sphere in the hand. Check out the link in my signature for a few more of his pieces.

I've got a few prints up in my place too. I particularly like the maze-like perspective-twisters.

I'll play. I loved my game with Sylvanus, in the quarter finals. Would like to play him again in another set of games.

Syl is a good player from what I've heard. My semifinal match was supposed to be against Vain, but the problem with playing him (and Syl, I guess) is that you could lose in 3 moves and the game would still take a week to play.

If you see me around in the afternoon (east coast time), I'm usually up for a quick game.

It will indeed be a very quick game if I play you.

You'll beat me in... under 5 moves, shall we say? Whose willing to take this bet?

Perhaps with a faster final match!!

Anything is faster than the match that never happened....

Except the match that happened backwards*.

*There was no match that happened backwards; that would just be silly.

Ok so whats happening with this? I've got lots of free time atm to organise another little tourney, i just need to be brought up to speed with the current state of whatever is happening..

Post by **hierachy** » Sun Oct 30, 2005 10:57 am

Currently, nothing is happening, and I'm too busy to organise anything.

So I say you go ahead and take control.

Post by **Gil galad** » Sun Oct 30, 2005 8:55 pm

Ok coolies.

So can anyone who wants to play in a quick chess tourney, single elimination, post their name below, and by friday hopefully we'll have a schedule drawn up .

Post by **[Syl]** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 1:19 pm

I'm gonna bow out of this one. About time this thing changed hands, anyway.

Post by **Gil galad** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 9:36 pm

no players?

Post by **Nathan** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 12:59 am

I'm in!

Post by **Cheval** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 1:00 am

I may suck at chess, but I promise an easy and fast game.

Post by **hierachy** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 1:37 pm

I'll play, of course, I just don't want anything to do with the organisation.
