Game Courier Tournament #3. Vote for which games should be in the third Game Courier tournament.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]No objection from me, Charles. I will try and get onto assigning these games over the weekend.
Altair. Altair is a modern game with an oriental flavor. (9x9, Cells: 81) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]'It takes by jumping (like piece of draughts but in all directions), jumping an enemy piece diagonally.' so can it or can't it take orthogonally?

congratulations again gary!
about the figures: i have double-checked these numbers. there are several differences between my numbers and david's numbers. i have included all players who properly completed at least one game. this is irrelevant to the final order though because if i included the other three or four as well it would just mean everybody got the same number of extra wins.
at a certain stage in the tournament adrian, greg, jeremy and abdul became inactive players. from that point on, any games between an active player and an inactive player were given as wins to the active player. any games between two inactive players were given as wins to the black player (because white would have timed out first).
cool, but see my earlier comment - some of the games you are counting don't count because people lost on time and then didn't really play any games at all... how do you get yours to stay in nice lines?
Hole Chess. Variant on a board of 44 squares with two holes that pieces can be dragged into. (7x10, Cells: 44) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]gary: is it correct that there is no obligation to move out of check (if you can instead capture the opponent's king)?
yeah, i think i must have forgotten to enter the tournament field for that one...
i think all the first round games are up now, let me know if anything is missing/wrong.
done! joe, jeju, juan - please move in the new games.
graeme, i did enter grayhawke... every time. i don't know why it changed it to grayhawke2.
i wondered about that. i entered grayhawke without the 2, but i noticed that the game logs all say grayhawke2. i'm not sure why that happened, or what to do. maybe you could create a new username if it's no big deal?
most games are up. charles, which preset do you want to use: Charles Birds (vs Donut) you can check on the games by entering PL1 in the games field. counting them, the joe-juan game of atlantean doesn't show up tho, not sure why. for some reason something is wrong with the games involving graeme. maybe i used the wrong username. graeme, if you can't access those games let me know. however, i don't have the power to delete/alter games so i guess i will just reassign them.
seeing as we are allowed to veto for any reason at all, i'll go for... circular chess with crooked bishops and queen eight stone hammer chess hostage chess racing kings rococo save the standard 13x13 titan chess
about the rules of wormhole chess: the trapped pawns on d3 and d8 are allowed a single diagonal move to begin. i don't think this is written in the rules.
Game Courier Tournament #3. Vote for which games should be in the third Game Courier tournament.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]updated scores (sorry for the ugly format, got anything better david?): GG 12.5 (12.5) AF 12 (12) CC 9 (9) JJ 8.5 (10.5) DP 8.5 (9.5) MS 7 (8) TT 6.5 (7.5) AA 6 (6) GS 5 (5) Je 5 (6) JG 3 (3) AR 2 (2) UB 2 (2) JR 1 (1) dead-heats: AR beats UB GS beats Je (although Je still has a possible point) third and fourth place still up for grabs.
Game Courier Tournament #3.

ok, i'll play if enough people sign up. a couple of things - several important GC3 games are still in progress and could go on for a while. that could affect registration... i also think the 48-hour window for vetoes is too short - a week might be better.
Maces and Horse-apults. Chess with mace pieces and specialized catapults (horse-apults). (10x10, Cells: 100) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]gary, can pawns promote to anything? can a horse-apult fire the other horse-apult?
Game Courier Tournament #3. Vote for which games should be in the third Game Courier tournament.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]i've made a table with all the updated results and excluding FD,ST,CP,JL,BB and NF as they didn't complete any games. that leaves 14 players and 13 possible points for each player.
the table won't paste properly into a comment. any ideas? it's just a regular spreadsheet table.
here's the leaderboard though. possible score is in brackets.
GG 11.5 (12.5) AF 11 (12) CC 9 (9) DP 8.5 (9.5) JJ 7.5 (10.5) MS 7 (9) TT 6.5 (8.5) AA 6 (6) GS 5 (5) Je 4 (7) JG 3 (3) UB 2 (3) AR 2 (2) JR 1 (1)
so gary needs at least a half-point from his last game to win the tournament (i think he would win on the countback rules fergus used). antoine could win the tournament if he beats todor and gary loses to michael.
3rd-7th all depend on results from the final round of games too. joe has the third highest possible score at this stage.
i can help assigning the games. i'll also play.
Voidrider Chess. A 43 square variant with movable spaces. (7x9, Cells: 43) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] Game Courier Tournament #3. Vote for which games should be in the third Game Courier tournament.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]antoine, thanks. i noticed that there is another game with the same problem. adrian-mschmahl-2008-30-525
joe, i'm sick of you holding up the tournament with your slow-play! only kidding. if you both make your first move, that should give antoine enough time to see this and change the time settings on the game...
