I've selected the matches. Here are what ur suppose to do: Contact the person your suppose to face thru whatever means, email, msn, PM etc. Set up a time with them for Yahoo chess (You need a Yahoo ID). Decide among ur selves whether u want a 1 match decide all, or 2/3. Take a screenshot of ur win, report back to me thru PM. Tell me if ur having trouble finding the person ur suppose to face. Here is the matchup: http://www.compsci.ca/v2/download.php?id=1473 ----------------------------------- zylum Wed Apr 21, 2004 4:32 pm ----------------------------------- lol, damn i wanted jonos :lol: ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 21, 2004 4:33 pm ----------------------------------- I'd play u right now, but I have to go do the papers I'll be back in 45 min or so, meanwhile u can play ur strategy. ----------------------------------- Catalyst Wed Apr 21, 2004 4:34 pm ----------------------------------- someone should take bets :lol: ----------------------------------- zylum Wed Apr 21, 2004 4:37 pm ----------------------------------- if i beat paul i think ill be in the top 2... probably bugz is going to be top 2... ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 21, 2004 4:39 pm ----------------------------------- lol thexploder, dan, and we64 are all good ----------------------------------- Randa Wed Apr 21, 2004 4:49 pm ----------------------------------- We should have a yahoo pool tournament! ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 21, 2004 4:50 pm ----------------------------------- ooo boy, look what I started... We COULD, but we need funding... or we could have 20 bits entry fee and the total goes to the winner lol. P.S. Zylum I added ur listed MSN hotmail. ----------------------------------- Randa Wed Apr 21, 2004 4:55 pm ----------------------------------- I like that idea, 20 bits entry fee and the total goes to the winner.. :clap: ----------------------------------- Catalyst Wed Apr 21, 2004 5:10 pm ----------------------------------- so no betting? :lol: ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 21, 2004 5:25 pm ----------------------------------- Well Update: The first match in the tournament: Me Vs Zylum It was a normal start as zylum brought out his knights. Then he'd promised to bring on the Fury. I was shaking in my socks... But in the end I prevailed, on Zylum's mistake I took his rook (or was it bishop?) Anyway, it was checkmate. Zylum's promised mutilation hasn't occured...... yet. I'm going back soon for my second match of the 3. ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Apr 21, 2004 5:49 pm ----------------------------------- i whould like to bet 1000 bits on TheExploder wining his 1st match :P i have to played chess in a long time, this should be intresting... ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 21, 2004 6:23 pm ----------------------------------- sure I'll take ur bet of 1000 bits. If u win this i'll give u 100 bits. :P ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 21, 2004 6:26 pm ----------------------------------- Who would like it to be double knockout? you have to loose 2 times for elimination. For example: Zylum lost to me in 1 game, he can decide to make it 2/3 and see if he beats me in the next game, if he loses then he is eliminated. Or he can decide for it to be a 1 game deciding, which means he lost to me, but is NOT eliminated and gets to face the looser of another round. And therefore have a chance of getting to to top. Who would like this? ----------------------------------- we64 Wed Apr 21, 2004 6:35 pm ----------------------------------- I am in.. cool... play Maverick... my favourite basketball team... :D :D ----------------------------------- jonos Wed Apr 21, 2004 6:36 pm ----------------------------------- I suck at chess, I don't even have a plan when I play but that may be normal. I guess I will have to contact my opponent. ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 21, 2004 6:38 pm ----------------------------------- damn it jonos, u blocked my new rule proposal, go contact bugz. Go to page 2 for new rule proposal and matchup chart. ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 21, 2004 7:57 pm ----------------------------------- well zylum took the proposal, so he's going to be facing whoever is loosing the match in Maverick vs We64. I'll advance, just so u know, if I win this, I'll give prize to the next in line. I prolly won't win though... ----------------------------------- jonos Wed Apr 21, 2004 8:22 pm ----------------------------------- I just lost to Paul and Zylum, though it was pretty close with Zylum so I now know for sure that I suck. Fuck me. ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 21, 2004 9:23 pm ----------------------------------- Well because of convienience, I decided to switch the matches, we64 vs xploder now, no trash talking in Compsci class please. ----------------------------------- Paul Thu Apr 22, 2004 2:31 pm ----------------------------------- Well, Dan beat maverick, so its me vs dan after they other divisions play their first games. And Maverick Vs Zylum for their chance to advance, loser of this game is eliminated. ----------------------------------- jonos Thu Apr 22, 2004 2:52 pm ----------------------------------- Bugz hasn't contacted me yet. What should I do? I will play anyone except Paul, Zylum, or Dan. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Fri Apr 23, 2004 6:08 am ----------------------------------- sorry, i forgot about this totally. but good thing i checked in today... so whats going on?? ----------------------------------- Paul Fri Apr 23, 2004 12:41 pm ----------------------------------- u add each other to MSN and you discuss a time when to play ur match(es) ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Fri Apr 23, 2004 4:11 pm ----------------------------------- i replied his pm about setting up the game on 9pm tonight, be he never responded... still 2hr to go ----------------------------------- Paul Fri Apr 23, 2004 7:35 pm ----------------------------------- add him to MSN: i_conform_to_society@hotmail.com ----------------------------------- jonos Fri Apr 23, 2004 8:57 pm ----------------------------------- Hey, that's private :wink: . paulbian@hotmail.com ----------------------------------- Dan Sat Apr 24, 2004 3:43 pm ----------------------------------- pff this is going to slow, u guys hury up and get to round 2 so i can do my net mtach. i whont to loses this thing A.S.A.P. :P ----------------------------------- valor Sat Apr 24, 2004 4:00 pm ----------------------------------- damn i wish i saw this post sooner i wanna play tooo!! lol ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Apr 24, 2004 4:20 pm ----------------------------------- *Bangs head on monitor*, we64 and xploder can't seem to get it right, since one or the other has to eat whenever they plan to play. Jonos and Bugzprodder, to my knowledge never got it right. Im setting a deadline, all first round competitors must finish their matches by friday the 30th. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Sat Apr 24, 2004 4:35 pm ----------------------------------- i was on msn the whole day today... but jonos is always away (although he did come onto compsci.ca and posted messages 2 hrs ago it seems) and never replied my pm nor my IM... i couldnt do anything about it... ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Sat Apr 24, 2004 5:28 pm ----------------------------------- game 1 is done, game 2 pending ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Apr 24, 2004 5:33 pm ----------------------------------- aww... didn't invite me to watch. ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Apr 24, 2004 7:54 pm ----------------------------------- we64 beats thexploder, now we wait for bugz and jonos. ----------------------------------- zylum Sat Apr 24, 2004 7:56 pm ----------------------------------- damn i still need to play maverick... ----------------------------------- we64 Sat Apr 24, 2004 8:24 pm ----------------------------------- that was two fun game.... :D pretty long..... two lessons for theXplore... ----------------------------------- Amailer Sun Apr 25, 2004 6:35 am ----------------------------------- I wanna play, i suck at chess but i wanna try.. just got the java fixed also :D ----------------------------------- jonos Sun Apr 25, 2004 9:14 am ----------------------------------- The problem with me and chess is that I'm not patient enough to look at all the pieces and see their possible moves, I just make sure the place I move to is free of danger and then move it there - usually at the expence of a piece in the vicinity of the past moved piece though. Maybe I will take the next game slower. I've lost every single game I've ever played on Yahoo! so I don't think I will beat Bugzpodder. No comment on my absence. ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Apr 25, 2004 3:14 pm ----------------------------------- Now the only ppl in the first round who arn't finished are jonos and bugz, since jonos admitted his weakness in chess, I will declare bugz the winner of that match IF the match isn't done by WEDNESDAY. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Sun Apr 25, 2004 3:35 pm ----------------------------------- that isnt fair... ----------------------------------- zylum Sun Apr 25, 2004 3:51 pm ----------------------------------- are me and maverick in round 2 or 1? ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Apr 25, 2004 4:25 pm ----------------------------------- round 2, well bugz and jonos, get to it. If u don't think its fair, I'll just flip a coin. ----------------------------------- Amailer Sun Apr 25, 2004 4:29 pm ----------------------------------- chess is simple reall.. just look at all the possiable moves your opponent can make and you ccan make, then look at the moves opponent** can make after making your move and hmm ya :roll: ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Apr 25, 2004 4:36 pm ----------------------------------- unless your opponent has been playing for 34 years and thinks like 10 turns ahead of you, and u don't see the "mate in 6" until he says so, and THEN u still can't see it... That was the person I was facing the other day... I didn't have a chance... ----------------------------------- we64 Sun Apr 25, 2004 6:04 pm ----------------------------------- I don't think anyone would see the next 10 moves, 3 moves are good enough... ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Sun Apr 25, 2004 6:22 pm ----------------------------------- i think you have to think at least 16 moves ahead to even stand a chance against kasporov... the computer i think can think 2-3 million moves per second... anywayz that guy you were playing were probably using chess-master... a lot of them do these days ----------------------------------- Paul Sun Apr 25, 2004 6:30 pm ----------------------------------- no, if he uses chessmaster, he would have no losses, I believe him. He was giving me tips too. ----------------------------------- jonos Sun Apr 25, 2004 7:44 pm ----------------------------------- Anyone want to give me tips. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Mon Apr 26, 2004 4:39 am ----------------------------------- sure, open up a game, load up chessmaster (no, i did not do that) ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Mon Apr 26, 2004 5:21 am ----------------------------------- on a more serious note, look *at least* two moves ahead. it doesnt matter how good your move looks, it is useless if it doesnt prevent a checkmate. ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Apr 27, 2004 6:51 pm ----------------------------------- First round done, bugz wins over jonos, second round begin soon. ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Apr 27, 2004 6:59 pm ----------------------------------- New Schedule http://www.compsci.ca/v2/download.php?id=1473 ----------------------------------- jonos Tue Apr 27, 2004 7:17 pm ----------------------------------- Ok, someone give me the Xploder's messenger thinger... ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Apr 27, 2004 7:25 pm ----------------------------------- thexploder@hotmail.com how predictable wanna get beaten that fast? ----------------------------------- jonos Tue Apr 27, 2004 7:32 pm ----------------------------------- I'd like to say that: I have not played chess (excluding very recently) for over 2/3 years I have not taken chess very seriously I have always sucked at chess, and that does not reflect the state of my intelligence I don't like chess I don't play chess correctly You all bragging bastards can kiss my shaved ass (yes, it's shaved as of 5 minutes ago) I'll probably lose though... ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Apr 27, 2004 7:41 pm ----------------------------------- I don't get this double knockout thing quite clearly. Some one who knows, please explain to me what the ppl who lost once does now? ----------------------------------- zylum Tue Apr 27, 2004 7:48 pm ----------------------------------- im assuming whoever wins of the losers and the winner of the winners face off before the finals? ----------------------------------- jonos Wed Apr 28, 2004 7:32 am ----------------------------------- I say that is a good idea... ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 28, 2004 3:02 pm ----------------------------------- Well, tell me how it goes, AFTER we play the current matches. ----------------------------------- zylum Wed Apr 28, 2004 3:17 pm ----------------------------------- well i beat maverick so im in the semis verses the winner between paulbian and dan ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 28, 2004 3:32 pm ----------------------------------- well ok... what about ppl who lose in second round? ----------------------------------- zylum Wed Apr 28, 2004 5:54 pm ----------------------------------- then they be gone ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 28, 2004 6:08 pm ----------------------------------- No, like me, if I lose to Dan, then I'd only have one loss. ----------------------------------- zylum Wed Apr 28, 2004 6:42 pm ----------------------------------- i dunno, wasnt this your idea in the first place??? ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Apr 28, 2004 7:19 pm ----------------------------------- Well ya, I suppose we can figure it out later. ----------------------------------- we64 Fri Apr 30, 2004 5:04 am ----------------------------------- then you can play the loser between me and bugz ----------------------------------- Paul Mon May 03, 2004 7:12 pm ----------------------------------- bump... remeber to get ur matches done for 100 bits. I'll try to get mine done asap. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Mon May 03, 2004 7:18 pm ----------------------------------- I contacted we64 early last week. he said he would like to wait till weekend. I contacted on on sat, he said he'd wait till saturday night. I waited until 11:40pm and all day sunday but he still didnt say anything.... anywayz i am off to waterloo for a week so i dont think the game is going to be completed this week ----------------------------------- Paul Mon May 03, 2004 7:18 pm ----------------------------------- Well, we64 and I are in waterloo. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Mon May 03, 2004 7:19 pm ----------------------------------- bump... remeber to get ur matches done for 100 bits.

I almost killed Raymond this morning for the same reason, ask him. Forgot his username, but I think its something that sounds really gay yeah A_S told me its Dragon Killa Campier ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Mon May 03, 2004 7:31 pm ----------------------------------- Well, we64 and I are in waterloo. I guess we could set up a match there if he decides to come visit me in the lab... but it seems he is always busy on weekdays... I just meant its not going to happen on Sat (coming back from waterloo) and sunday (studying for unit test and english presentation next day) ----------------------------------- Paul Wed May 12, 2004 4:49 pm ----------------------------------- Well, this round has no deadline, feel free to report in with your result, as in why I haven't emphasized this, I have some personal developements in my life right now :oops: you know what that means :lol: :roll: :wink: ----------------------------------- jonos Wed May 12, 2004 6:57 pm ----------------------------------- You mean you have to get working on seduction for a lay, I'm not stupid. ----------------------------------- Paul Wed May 12, 2004 7:26 pm ----------------------------------- Im not like that jonos, don't ruin my perspectives and priorities. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Sat May 15, 2004 10:32 am ----------------------------------- zzz i havent seen we64 online in a week... he probably blocked me ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Tue Jun 01, 2004 6:41 am ----------------------------------- bump is this still on or what? i am waiting for my next opponent ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Jun 01, 2004 3:06 pm ----------------------------------- Um... quite busy now, might have to wait after all summatives and exams, Im not in grade 12.
