[Mr. Friscus]

Votto ”bobbysgonefishin123”
XponentialChaos (Same name)
TNHarley "TNHarley86"
Toddsterpatriot (Same Name)
And me "MisterFriscus"

Here we go. Everyone play each other, set up a time. Let's do 15/10 games.
Report your results here, and I'll maintain the win-loss updates.

Feel free to reach out on here as far as your availability. For example, I have 2 young ones, so I cannot play until after approximately after 8pm (Eastern time) during the week. You can use personal message for individual setup but do post your basic availability so we all have an idea of when you're free.

Let's do this. And one final request... if you're going to report your results, at least give some commentary of how the game went, and if you want to use over the top battle references and humor.. the more the better. Let's make this fun. The winner and loser can comment.

The Toddster beat me is a relatively short game. I opened with the Itailian and then basically fell apart giving up 3 pawns early on with virtually no compensation.

And no, I was not doing drugs FYI, just played half retarded is all.

Nice game Todd and good luck winning the tourney.

Hey, I salute the championship.. but I know far too many OSU fans who actually cannot enjoy it because they lost to Michigan.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

Mr. Friscus goes down to Toddster. We postured and exchanged a bit, I broke his castle but he used the opening to bring his far rook over to pin my king, I wasn’t able to keep my knights as cover, I had to trade queens, and he ended up trapping my rook with his king forcing me into a “2 pawn for a rook” exchange… then he pressed a deep pawn with double rook coverage until i ran out of options..

Well done. I was hoping he would run out of time lol (he was at like 3 minutes, I still had like 9)

That loss was a black mark, but MI lost 5 games, so I'm ok with it.

Friscus 0-1

It saved our season. It was magical though. Beating a loaded Buckeyes with a 3rd string walk on QB, missing our game changing elite DB as well as our #1 offensive threat (TE Loveland). It was incredible

Xponential Chaos takes down Friscus

After initial positioning, Friscus was able to go up a pawn, and attain a knight gridlock near X’s King. However, Chaos pressured my support until he made an aggressive slice of his queen behind my lines, and I mistakenly retreated a knight to a pawn that was locked to prevent check… thus giving it up for free.. and it eroded from there. Good Game X!

Toddster 2-0
X 1-0
TN 0-0
Votto 0-1
Friscus 0-2

[Toddsterpatriot]

Toddster beat Xponential Chaos with the white pieces.
It was a tactical two-knights game.

Good game, sir.

You got me.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Good game, sir.

You got me.

I loathe the Petroff's Defense.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Good game, sir.

You got me.

I always had good luck with tactical, Italian games.
Good game!

 

[Mr. Friscus]

Is someone going to knock off Toddster? Geez, the guy shows up and thinks he owns the place

You would have cited those three players if Michigan had lost. Wolferines were 8-5. Incredible. If they go 9-4 next year, that will be par excellence for you.
