2nd USMB Chess Tournament Declared

[Mr. Friscus]

I once played a girl in a chess tournament with her cleavage hanging out. I almost went to the rules judge to try and disqualify her. There has to be rules against this, I thought, but no.

Probably propped em up with duct tape lol.. cheap move lol

I know this tourney is stuck.. I have 5 verified people. Want to just do round Robin? Everyone play the other 4 and then the 2 highest play for the championship?

Round Robin?
I’m in, it’ll just require all Of us to coordinate and set up matches with each other. I’ll make a separate thread.

Are you going to post pairings with who plays white/black?

Are you going to post pairings with who plays white/black?

The matchup is random on chess.com as far as I know.. so I’ll just go with that.

I just played XponentialChaos and won. I was black and Xpo was white as he opened with the open Sicilian. I was able to set a trap to win a pawn early, and later on was able to trap his rook, thus ending the game.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Humiliated in his previous defeat in the championship, X spent the last several months training intensely and seeking revenge against the evil Votto.

Blinded by his desire for revenge, X stumbled right into a trap set at the very beginning of the game. Do’h!

X regained his composure from there as the game continued. Unfortunately, later on a positional mistake lead to complete disaster as X’s rook got trapped. Do’h!

Votto takes the W.

I’m expecting a Rocky 4 montage of you taking the defeat to the core and then training like your life depends on it to get him the next time. What song is your montage to?

I’m picturing something very 80s and very corny. I’ll go with Fight to Survive from Bloodsport.



That, but with chess. Or something.

That’s a good one. We’ll see how this shakes out, you might get another shot.
