congratulations, gary! great performance. well done to the others at the top of the table too. thanks fergus, i'll definitely be in for the next tournament whenever it is? had fun in all of my games, even my customary victory on time over thomas hehe... hard to remember all the games now, but i think i got outplayed in most of the games i lost this time around which is usually better than blundering them away. looking forward to the next one!
Congratulations for a much-deserved win, Gary. The victory went first and foremost to the better player, but also to the inventor of the excellent Catapults of Troy. And thanks also to Fergus for the continual improvement of Game Courier.
Actually, Joe, by my count you can have eighth place all to yourself, due to the Sonneborn-Berger tiebreaker. I'll just sit back here in ninth and wish our game of Maxima had gone differently. Further congratulations to Gary Gifford for an impressive 11/12 performance.
carlos carlos, where are you? You own me a move in the tournament, and you're running out of time. Our game of Switching Chess is in week 2, and you haven't made a move yet. I'd like a win, but shouldn't get it by default. If anyone has Carlos' address, please email him or send me the address - thanks. Joe Joyce
It takes coordinates for arguments. For example, swap e1 d1 would switch the White King and Queen from their initial positions.
I prefer Greg's variant, but I'll leave it to a vote. BTW, the switching of pieces may be done with the swap command.
[2005-11-14: I've edited this table after the recent and long-dreaded demise of the Black army in Gifford-McElmurry. Just a few minutes later I'm already feeling withdrawal and hoping the last few games will be assigned soon. Has anyone heard from Fergus lately?]
I've been keeping track of the results, and I think the following is correct, although it's possible that I've made mistakes. The last column is the Buchholz-Solkoff tiebreaker, which is guaranteed not to break ties when the tournament is complete.
