2nd USMB Chess Tournament Declared

[Mr. Friscus]

It's that time. I'm fresh off of my 30 day ban from a certain Moderator who has the hots for me but that's neither here nor there.

The next 8 man USMB Tournament is upon us. The reigning champion is Votto, and I won't start the tourney until the champion is present to defend their crown. That leaves 7 open spots, and since I'm the guy setting this up, I'll use my sway to work my way into the pool and make sure there are only 6 open spots left, somehow.

That being said, I'll link all previous fighters, but all being said it's first come, first serve. For an update on USMB records, they go as follows

Votto 3-0
XponentialChaos 2-1
Mr. Friscus 1-1
JoeMoma 1-1
TNHarley 0-1
Orangecat 0-1
Fort Fun Indiana 0-1
Road Runner 0-1

Will I continue to keep track of records this precisely? I'm not sure. I'll do my best to push this tournament along like last time. It happens on Chess.com, you'll need an account on there. And... once Chess Mortal Kombat matchups are determined, it's on you and your opponent to set up a game time to play at 15/10 setting and report your results. And by George, report them with some freaking drama and effort, with plenty of references to war, fighting, and as many ridiculous adjectives as possible.

The feelers are sent out. There are 6 spots left. I've linked all previous entrants. Anddd... go.

Is that an entry declaration? Scorpion?

I would, but I couldn't pass up a reference to Mortal Kombat.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

I would, but I couldn't pass up a reference to Mortal Kombat.

I'm here and now, sorry, but things need to be clear. Are you entering or not? As much of a Mortal Kombat fan as I am.. and I appreciate your reference... no woulds and coulds.. to quote another legendary movie... as Biff said to George McFly about his opportunity in Back to the Future 2... "Are you IN.. or OUT"

For the record, I am not declaring my entry.

I'll play. but how do you prevent people from cheating by using a computer? As I understand it, iRosie has been kicked out of two elder care facilities in Israel for cheating at Chinese checkers. Word to the wise.

I'm open to quicker settings... like 5 minutes or 10 minutes flat.

It's a good idea. I'm a flexible GM who likes good ideas.

 

[TemplarKormac]

If ever anyone gets a DnD session going here, let me know. Friscus, you're on to something.

Well start it... but this thread is about Chess.. the man's game, a gentleman's game.

You're a man of culture, I see?

Alright, I'll butt out. I hope this works for you!

 

[Mr. Friscus]

You're a man of culture, I see

Indubitably Watson... Indubitably

 

[Street Juice]

Ten minutes sounds reasonable. Where would you play?

 

[Mr. Friscus]

+Face Palm+.. read the OP. Come on, you're going to get on my bad side and I'll take the 7th entrant over you. This isn't hard.

Road Runner 0-1

Road Runner once competed in a chess tournament here? That is cute.

 

[XponentialChaos]

I’m in.

 

[Yarddog]

I refuse to become Chess cannon fodder! I'll find a better hill to die on.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

I’m in.

The runner-up wants a shot.. you're in.

 

[davebb]

I'll play.
