Talossan chess tournament 2024

Congrats xpb!

It looks like we're up next (spoiler). I have a suspicion that's not gonna be easy for me.

First round finished. I hope everyone enjoyed playing, regardless of the outcome. As mentioned, the algorithm prefers matchups between players at the same standing. Of course, since there were 5 winners and 5 losers that's not possible so there is one matchup between someone who won and someone who lost last round.


Second round (out of 5) pairings:

W @Ian Plätschisch (1) vs @þerxh Sant-Enogat (1) B

W @Glüc da Dhi S.H. (1) vs @xpb (1) B

W @Breneir Tzaracomprada (0) vs @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP (1) B

W @Iason Taiwos (0) vs @Barclamïu da Miéletz (0) B

W @Bentxamì Puntmasleu (0) vs @Gjermund Higraff (0) B

Player listed first plays white vs player listed second plays black

Deadline for playing your match: March 21st (If theres a reason thats not possible for you let me know)

Default time control: 10 +5 (May be altered with mutual consent)
Default platform: Lichess (May be altered with mutual consent, preferably to a physical chess board.)

The second round game between xpb and me is scheduled for 11:30 TST tomorrow. (10:30 local time for xpb, 18:30 for me)

It was a pretty evenly matched game until unfortunately xpb's Queen got pinned on move 19.

Thanks to xpb for the game.

It was a fun bludgeoning. At least I lasted longer this time? Thanks Marcel.

Yes!!! I didn't win, but I didn't lose either! This will probably be my best match of the tournament!

Since there was no victor, do we need a rematch?
