MODERATORS
Let's start the first round! As we're only 7 (edit: 9 now) I think we should do a round-robin :) Feel free to use this comment to post the match + result
You'll have until friday 2pm utc to play your match
Round 1
eulheim - /
Thanks for joining! @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]
@[email protected] and I just finished ours, a Vienna! Here's the link: https://lichess.org/SQI2zWH6
@[email protected] absolutely wiped the floor with me, very well played (on their part at least lol)
Looking at CrazyMeryins rating, I think this will happen to every one of us ๐
Am I to late to the party? https://lichess.org/@/eulheim
Any lurkers around who want to play against me in the tournament? :(
Iโm easy prey ๐

Needless to say, I didnโt have a realistic chance. However, Iโve a lot of fun. Looking forward to the next proper licking.
https://lichess.org/Rgr7yWOK: BabaDuda versus library_patron 1-0 (assuming random colors was okay)
A lot of swings, but hopefully still interesting. As black I was happy to go up in material, but although I knew I really had to keep an eye on king safety, that's exactly what I failed to do.
(Also, as someone used to not playing with time controls, rapid feels so fast. I have no idea how people do blitz or bullet.)
Yeah that kingside push is always risky, your king was way too exposed imo
Good game
Awesome! I'm Fabiozeh on lichess.
I'm extremely bad at chess but F*ck it im in
lichess name: Caboose12000
Coolbootyjames on lichess! Put me in coach!
I am also not very good, but I love to play and learn from the game. Looking forward to the tourney! mycowan on Lichess.
@BabaDuda, what kind of times are good for you? 14:00 to 21:00 UTC is best for me, but since the games are rapid, I can be flexible about similar times.
@[email protected] Just FYI, but because of the load on lemmy.ml, a lot of the comments and mention notifications on that instance aren't getting through the backlog and federating to other instances. Compare this post to what I currently see through my home instance or what the lemmy.world folks see. In particular, @[email protected] seems to have been left out, and it might be a good idea to send DMs to the lemmy.world people to tell them about your comment.
Anyway, something I wanted to ask, but can't make into a reply to the Round 1 comment yet is what we're doing for colors. Are we randomizing each game, or should we read the person on the left as being White and the person on the right as being Black?
Thanks for letting me know - I'll send an DM
Let's go for random colors :) (makes it easier for me :D)
Made a Lichess account to participate: @library_patron
I am sure I will lose spectacularly, but if even I'm willing to join, nobody can use the excuse that their rating is too low to participate.
Round 2 complete for @[email protected] and I: https://lichess.org/Bw22jYvI Let's see some more games, folks!
Just peeking through the door - Checking if the chess tournament is still ongoing or everyone fell asleep.
I'm still here, but something's definitely off... I can only see this post with my Lemmy.ml account. Lemmy.world is not loading posts and comments correctly :-/
Maybe OP should try a new post?
It seems that there are some syncing issues with lemmy.world currently.
Link to the post : There is some desync issue with lemmy.world and feddit.de
Did you notice a change in the syncing issue? I am hoping this platform will be an alternative to Reddit in the future. I am digging the vibes a lot.
I got frustrated because I couldn't see any new comments in the thread, and most of the old ones also disappeared for me. I also tried different instances. So I don't know if others played the second round ๐
Caboose12000 and I have been trying to get our Rd 2 game in, but we just seem to keep missing one another. Still tryin tho!
