Talossachess Rapid Swiss 2025 [Round 3]

[xpb]

With apologies, I believe it would be best to forfeit my games, including my current one against Glüc. Just can't really expect people to be down to play on a day's notice or less.

Mayhaps could match people on a bye against my would-be opponents?

I don't think that is the case - you can arrange a game when it works as it said above "I'm not gonna start with deadlines for now"

[Glüc]

Fwiw, I wouldn't have minded playing Iac at short notice, but yes, there should be plenty of time to plan your games when convenient.


If Iac wishes to withdraw, I will play Lüc instead. That means there won't be any byes in future rounds, so we can probably do four rounds instead of five.

I screwed up on move 20 on my phone and put my rook too far but was allowed to do a take back by my opponent. thus I think this actually should be scored a draw

[Sir Ian Plätschisch]

I feel like I lost fair and square, although if Sir Pol would like to propose a draw, then who am I to decline?

I request the tournament director to score this a draw as both sides agree.

Good game! According to the engine it was basically a draw until move 34, but then it went wrong because I was able to start pushing.

[Bråneu Excelsio, UrN]

S:reu Autófil and I just finished our game, one point for Excelsio, this is the link:
