HC Chess Team Tournament
ok lets get a chess tourney going
if you wanna sign up then do so. also state how good you rate yourself as being
1) great
2) very good
3) good
4) not good
5) beginner (aka, the bishop is the guy with the cross on his head right???  )
then when we have some players we will divide into teams. then each team plays against the other. best of 3 chess games. first team to win 2 games wins the tourney.
each team moves then posts the board position resulting in that move. they must also explain what they did. either through the normal chess way, Kc4 or by saying king moves to c4. either one. each team is personally responsible for arranging a place to discuss thier move.
im looking for 6 players to start off, that is 2 teams of 3 players. if we get more players then we get more players. if we get 12 players or more i think we can expand the tourney into 4 teams of 3. and shorten the amount of games to 1 instead of 3.
i am not sure but i was thinking time limit of 2 days, maybe 3. 1 day i feel is too short and a group member may not be able to voice opinions, 2 or 3 days is enough time. so also state what you think is a decent time limit
things such as black and white will be discussed. (like if one team wants to be black and the other teams wants to be white then so be it, other wise a guessing game) games where are draw is the outcome will be assesed. if one team is dominating then i think the outcome is obvious. if it is close then a re match
and rule disputes, please tell me. im engaged but not married to the rules, so i can still change em 
so sign up
Players:
Lord Pc - good
RSF - very good
Sick boy - beginner
russ - good to very good
ecoris - average

As far as regular people go I'm probably very good at chess, but compared to people who play chess a decent amount I'm probably just good.
However I will join.

Those ranks are very subjective. If you'll have several leagues based on those self-ratings, then I'd like to play in the one with the best HC players.

Ok, then I am confused as well - why do you need people to rate themselves?

what RSF said
it would not be a good tourney if we had the 3 best players vs. the 3 worst players
this self rating system is meant to give a rough idea of your rank so that the teams are even. so try to be as honest as possible
so russ, you in?

Ya, man, of course I am in! I am not sure how good I am compared to the general crowd in here - I was rated 1800-smth in north american rating system a few yrs ago (until I stopped paying the fees ).

I'm in. I guess I'm an average player. Played chess at school several years ago and participated in a few tournaments. The HC messenger could be used to discuss moves. The use of chess programs should of course be banned. If I may make a last suggestion using a chess diagram to show the moves would make it possible to see how the game developed. It only requires a bit of copy-pasting. It would also be possible to be a spectator.
Current position:
Black team could invert the colors and flip the image to get the 'right view'.

edit: bump...again

well its not
anyone else wanna join???
are you an average player Will or a beginner. you cant be both
it seems like Russ and RSF will be on opposite teams. they seem to be the best. myself and Ecoris will also be opposites and right now i am thinking Will and Sick boy as opposites
RSF (2) ------- Russ(1)
Lord Pc (3) ---- Ecorus(4)
William (5) --- Sick Boy (5)
i think these teams will work best as Russ seems to be the best player. then RSF. i am a good chess player when i have time to make moves and ecoris said he played a few years ago. Will and Sick Boy both say they are beginners. ratings are next to each person, these are based on self ratings ofcourse
anybody wanna change the teams or the rules speak now. i will leave this open for 1 more day for any late enters

I guess so. Well i think Once teams are selected, members should be able to discuss whether they are online enough to play a game through jippi or yahoo or something.

i just went and checked where our members live. i am will live in Aus with the same times. Russ and RSF live in canada and the US so the time difference wont be much.
sick boy lives in a graveyard somewhere and ecoris lives in denmark.
so in theory it might be possible to get everyone togther
sick boy, where do you live
edit: it might just work
if me and will go on late, and Russ and RSF go on early and ecoris comes in at about 2pm, it could work. unless sick boy lives in a south american graveyard
