Cetran Chess 2. Missing description (8x8, Cells: 64) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I'd first like to thank Carlos for posting the preset linked below, and more importantly, for organizing this event. Not only was it the first "Cetran Chess 2" tournament ever, but it was also MY first Game Courier tournament ever, and (aside from the long break taken in the middle of it) I enjoyed it a lot.

While it would still be nice to play out that last game, I'm [finally] inclined to agree that there's no longer any good reason to delay making the final standings official. In the current position, if I still had the outcome of the tournament in mind, I'd most likely set up some sort of fortress to secure a draw (enough to hang on to the lead), which wouldn't be very interesting or exciting. Yet White retains reasonable winning chances, and can easily lose if too aggressive, so it'll be much more fun playing for a win than for a draw.

I'm especially looking forward to discussing future events, as it seems there are now a significant number of serious variant players taking Game Courier by storm, who would be more than willing to get in on the action. If anyone should want to email me about planned/upcoming events, my address is  [email protected] (and NOT [email protected], which I abandoned almost a year ago; unfortunately, this site does not allow one to replace the email address associated with their account).
