https://brainking.com/ee/Board?bc=35905 Brf's 2nd Annual St. Patrick's Day Pente Tourney ee https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=958956 Sure. I would like to ask the winners to send me their PayPal accounts and they will receive the price ASAP. Thu, 25 Dec 2008 10:41:35 CET https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=958756 Add my congratulations to Richard and Nosovs. Great tournament, I look forward to the next one. Wed, 24 Dec 2008 19:24:33 CET https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=958734 well I'll let Fencer decide how he'll disburse the winnings to you both, I'm sure he'll just send you both 25$ US or you might be able to work him for a two for one on the $ if you just have him apply it to a membership level . My thanks to everyone who entered this tourney, I've seen some really badass pente especially in these final rounds. in 3 more months the 2009 Tourney will begin, stay tuned! -Brf Wed, 24 Dec 2008 18:52:51 CET https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=956283 Yes, totally deserved win for nosovs and Richard III in this tournament. Fri, 19 Dec 2008 06:56:35 CET https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=954799 Well I just thoroughly got spanked. Thanks for the lessons Nosovs & Rich, I definitely was able to learn a few things from the games we played which can only help in the future. Rest assured I won't be making those same mistakes again this has been a fun and challenging Tournament & round of play, and the winner will have earned every bit of it that's for sure. I appreciate everyone who signed up and congratulate all those who've made it this far. Some very tough pente has been played, my head still hurts! -Brf Sun, 14 Dec 2008 01:15:56 CET https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=937970 Good luck to everyone that made it to the final round. Play well and good luck! -Brf Sun, 19 Oct 2008 22:21:45 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=933276 oops i timed out lol i thought i had until midnight my time. oh well,.. thanks for the games guys, have fun,.. and i'll see you guys next year perhaps. congrates to all. and good luck in round 3 :-) ~zoeyk Fri, 03 Oct 2008 07:21:26 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=929618 1) please no comments about running games 2) for calculation the most important is: whoever sweeps me, he will advance, so crucial is how my P1 games with NPU and s3v3n will end, I can advance only if I win both Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:02:31 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=929575 Ne Plus Ultra: I think blaxx will lost two games, but aaru win Thu, 18 Sep 2008 05:29:25 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=929571 nosovs: Probabilistically, the most likely situation is where WUP sweeps aaru and ties the three of us. In that case, it's 4-4-4-0-4, and all four of us will advance. It's very possible that WUP will sweep or get swept in a set though... Thu, 18 Sep 2008 04:39:09 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=929369 Ne Plus Ultra: Not only in section 2 occur the interesting situation. In section 1 also able such situation Ultra 5 7 - 5 Wekup 5 aaru 1 blaxx 4 Wekup will has better coefficient, so he'll advanced from this group. Wed, 17 Sep 2008 09:07:20 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=927807 Interesting development in section 2. Nosovs is gonna end up with 6 points. Spavacz will end up with either 6 or 7, depending on whether he splits with tenuki or sweeps. If he ends up with 6 points, however, nosovs will win the tie and advance alone, because the difference in their S-B points is the difference between tenuki's wins and zum's wins. If spavacz gets 7, he advances alone, of course. Tue, 09 Sep 2008 23:30:30 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=926477 Well I've told him numerous times about it and he's just been caught in the middle of a maelstrom of home activity and a bunch of stuff going on associated with moving. Obviously he wasn't able to get his ISP situation worked out in time either so it's his loss, our gain. Definitely sucks, I hate winning that way myself also but that's why there are hard timers or we'd never get through some of these rounds. Good luck to everyone else in Round 2 & we can hope there's no more timeouts. -Brf Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:12:22 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=926322 redfrog: well i don't mind fair n squar, but at this late point of round 2 i kinda wanta finish it sooner than later and get to round 3,..prolonging round 2 another 2 months for a late entry game would be torture for me lol. Wed, 03 Sep 2008 01:24:55 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=926312 zoeyk: it depends on when he ran out of days. One vacation day counts for everything that times-out in a single day. The first game that times-out in a given day then grants the additional time to every other game that times out in that same day. Now i havent been paying attention (as i have no vested interest in him timing out and would rather the glory of winning fair and square anyway) but it may be that such a scenario is occuring in his case.... Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:13:40 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=926307 hey how come snut ran outa vacation days, and it aint the weekend, and his 48 hours ran out, and all of a sudden he gets 24 hours added to his clock? hmmmmmm that doesnt seem right to me. he should had timed out. Tue, 02 Sep 2008 22:24:59 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=923572 Congrats to Rich for winning and for the rest of section 3 for closing that whole section out so fast. well done! Tue, 19 Aug 2008 16:58:36 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=919942 zoeyk: Yeah Snut's switching internet ISPs I believe and thus is not online, he's burning through his vacation days until that's resolved so I wouldn't expect many moves from him until that's sorted out. As far as myself I've been on vacation and otherwise so busy since the end of June that I haven't had much time for getting on the PC at all. I will try and get caught up on my games here at BK this week though. Mon, 04 Aug 2008 16:31:19 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=919376 well in my section, snut and brf havn't moved yet other than thier first move. me and tarcellius seem to be the only ones playing,..my whites doing good,..and my black,..dunno, we'll see.... Sat, 02 Aug 2008 18:23:14 CEST https://brainking.com/ee/print/Board?bc=35905&ngi=919295 so...how're everyone's game's goin? blaxx is ramming my black to the ground, i've got an interesting black against aaru, and s3v3n and WUP have hardly moved.
