Originally posted by cludigive me a couple of hours havent made a move all day hehe. All depends on how many games h has right now he has close to 100 so he will have a good amount of moves but generally the amount of moves he has right now is normally half of his moves for a month. Most players in the top 20 dont have more than 2000 moves in a month and also most make around 1000 moves or less. But yeah that only has to do with games count. I had close to 5000 last month but thats only because i am in two xmas grand tournaments which are close to won so now I wont be as high.
Ironman31 is actually more active this month than Trackhead21
Ironman has made a massive 448 moves this month, Trackhead21 "only" 428! Both making more than 100 moves a day.
Originally posted by TRACKHEAD21Surely you're normally the fastest mover. I know from playing both you and Ironman several times. It was just to say that Ironman is capable of doing a lot of moves, so that will not be the key to finding the winner of the 2005 championship.

Well I don't think I'm going to get far in this tournament. But I think I have a chance in the Long Hual Split XVII, PI Banded 1500-1599, and the Mimir Group Random.
I'll go for the underdog, at least compared to IronMan31, Azizy, and David Tebb, meman. Partly because this is the only one ranked in the top 20 who I have played/am playing in chess. And partly because he hasn't won a tournament before.
Until Russ gets a fix in place it might be handy for us to post here the groups that we're in.
I'm playing in the following group: (no particular order)
Exy 1929

Are you saying all these players are in your one group? Sheeesh, that would suck, good players will get kicked out. Meman is in this tournament? Well, there's a finalist right there, the dude is currently the best engine ever on RHP, wou ...[text shortened]... e in experimental games. Hopefully Russ can get the mods out soon.
Of course, for my prediction, I was thinking of you 2, mateulose. Because I read in your profile that you're only playing tournaments and you haven't won one yet. I'm not trying to insult you or anything...I just think people who haven't won any tournaments and who are veterans should win.

Originally posted by shortgoth1lucky, ha, I dont like my draw at all I would rather switch with exy. With the highest player in my group at about 1400 I get no points for any of my wins :-(. Oh well atleast I'm finished with 3 games with a 4th in the bag. Would it be wrong to wait until my group beats each other and get their ratings higher? hehe j/k Hey exy lets switch

Originally posted by mateuloseWell, like I said before if its five people it'll be the three I named and two engines in the finals. Me and meman have been tying in all our games, we have like 5 going. Anyway you have people like hushpuppy in, anyone know if geofkus or whatever the heck his name is is in it? And wonder also is kawika is in it too. I hate not being able to see. Anyway I'm still being insulted by the 1100 player who says I suck because I havent beaten him already 18 moves in. Would be nice for Russ to get the mod thing together before we hit the second round, would probably help the finals to be all human and darn fun to watch.
Are you saying all these players are in your one group? Sheeesh, that would suck, good players will get kicked out. Meman is in this tournament? Well, there's a finalist right there, the dude is currently the best engine ever on RHP, would suck if he wins, he's running deep Fritz on a super computer with a 5 GHZ processor, nobody has been able to beat him with another engine in experimental games. Hopefully Russ can get the mods out soon.
Can I trade with you trackhead? 😛 The guys in my group are probably more to your liking and challenge Track, tough round 1 field, and would demolish the other groups posted here! I guess I ate my own words about the random seeding, lol. . .

Asking me to pull 1 major upset, 2 stong upsets, while at the same time keeping all my close rating chasers at bay from geting any wins or draws on me is asking a bit much, I would have to play perfectly to my ability to have any chance. So I wouldn't bet on myself winning in this group at all and doing something crazy. Still, it will be fun, if I win most of my games I would think my rating improves 100 or so pts this round alone, but ratings are weird sometimes in tournies.
Originally posted by mateuloseoooohhhh you got cludi wasnt sure if he was in, well there goes another potential finalist. He's a fine player I always enjoy my games against him.
