ok, so far we have myself, fianchettochess, Thomaster, sbacat and Jasen777 through to the next round.

thadeusman never showed up so i'm just going to advance petromichelaki to get the next round started, sorry.

round 3 draw is.

with new ratings.

Jasen777 1840 vs trev33 1580
fianchettochess 1640 vs Thomaster 1500
sbacat 1620 vs petromichelaki 1400

fianchettochess hasn't moved in 2 months though, if he doesn't show i'll advance whoever he beat in the last round.

good luck everyone, i'll send pm's about this to everyone now.

there that wasn't that hard 😛

Actually I've been here all along, sifting through the forums on a regular day-to-day basis... have taken a long break from CC chess 😴

Just finished my game against petromichelaki. She's a very tough competitor and I'm much more comfortable as David than as Goliath, but I managed to checkmate her on the 35th move. 😉

Game 6341807

Many thanks to petromichelaki for an exciting game.

The four being Jasen777, myself, and the two who are still playing? So three left when they finish?

If so, what's the plan for deciding the next round? Should I start gathering rocks for my slingshot? 😉

the 3 finalist play each other until someone wins both games and is declared the winner. if by 2026 you're still playing i'll just flip a coin.

seriously 😛

Yikes! I see what you mean. Given the format of the final round, any reason why Jasen777 and I couldn't get started if he's available?

So Jasen777 at roughly 1900, Thomaster at 1490, and me at 1540. We each play the other two. Jasen777's goliath in both, Thomaster is David in both, and I am one and one.

Whoever wins their two games is finalist and if there's a three-way split we go again.

Trev33 sets the handicap targets and away we go!
