Does the swiss system have an accounting method to deal with a player withdrawing? Does our "newplayer" have to start out in the hole with SV's two losses?
Or do they play two "make-up" games against XNZ? In which case it would seem that XNZ is getting the shaft by losing credit for his two wins....
Well SV said he was in so let's get this thing started.
Current Standings:
1. XanthosNZ 2/2
2. Yuga 2/2
3. Leisurelysloth 2/2
4. GambitAccepted 0/2
5. zebano 0/2
6. seraphimvulture 0/2
So we go as follows (These pairings are as Swiss rules suggest with 3 and 4 as floats):
XanthosNZ - Yuga
knnrbrqb/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/KNNRBRQB w - - 0 1
Leisurelysloth - GambitAccepted
qnnrrbbk/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/QNNRRBBK w - - 0 1
zebano - seraphimvulture
bbknrnqr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/BBKNRNQR w - - 0 1
Post the game links once you get underway. I trust you guys remember how to set up the games easily.
Thanks XanthosNZ!

These games are 3/14 too. That's not a problem as timebanks were always negotiable.
I don't think I mentioned but the position I played against SV I had in my database. A single game played between Leko and Kramnik. We deviated at about move 3.
Out of curiosity, does anyone else find the positions in these games extremely odd? I particularily found the starting positions jarring and hard to contemplate. I think the fact that I have lately limited my play to the english and french makes it harder to adjust to new positions...
Too much blitz and not enough thinking was always a downfall of mine.
Originally posted by zebanoYes they are a little weird. In my games against Yuga we both started with bishops on the h-a diagonal in direct line with the a file king. It's a little disconcerting.
