I don't move at the weekend, so 1/7 doesn't really work for me. But I don't mind dropping out if everyone else wants to press on. I doubt I will win my game against RS anyway.
we'll keep it 3-7 if it involves someone dropping out.

I've already posted this in the tournament forum, but for some added exposure, I felt it might be good to post it here too.
Anyways, I'm looking to start a tournament for non members. I'll organize it from my desk, starting with a draw for who plays who. It will be a 1 match elimination tournament with random colours. A drawn game will be played again ...[text shortened]... Let's see how this goes.
To join, PM me. I will accept the first 15 Messages I receive.
could you organize another tournament ?
I'd like to play

As soon as this one finishes? Yes.
Check the forums regularly for info about the next tournament, they fill up fast.
Actually, I'm considering a 32 person 1/0 tournament next time, with seedings by rankings. I think that's the way to go.

My game is going to have an interesting mid to endgame, Q+B+N VS 2B + 2R
Place your bets
There we go, I think I have a slight advantage, in material at least Q+N+B = 15 pts and 2R+2B = 16 pts... plus I should be able to stay a pawn up... but black has a nasty attack I think... it will be a nail biter

Originally posted by adam warlockYes I think so, any game with this type of an imbalance is very interesting. I played a game OTB 2 nights ago where I was in a similar situation, Q+N+B vs my 2Rs+2Bs and I barely managed to squeek out a win yet it was against a weaker opponent... lets hope I can squeek one out here. Otherwise, I'd like to draw against the stronger opponent... thats why I made that trade (Q for 2 R) but its not always a good idea.

Originally posted by shortcircuitI agree, but the points are a tool used to help evaluate the position. Not the only tool, but one that can be helpful.
