This is PA's first ever (to my knowledge) double-elimination random-seed Chess tournament. You have a 1-hour player clock (longest game time is 2 hours). The player whose name is listed first will be white. You may use whatever method of playing you can both agree on, but the default is Yahoo! Chess. If you have a stalemate, you have to switch colors and play another game. The round 1 tournament window starts at 12 in the morning, Friday, April 27th, and ends at 12 at night, Thursday, May 10th (i.e. you have all day this Friday, and all day May 10th). If you are having trouble contacting your opponent, let me know in a timely manner (don't come to me on the 9th). Don't cheat, don't be a douche. Make sure you both record all of the moves in your game, and both let me know who won. If I have to actually start monitoring games, I'm going to be very pissed. I may start up the next tournament window early, if everyone finishes before the 10th, otherwise it will start 12am, the morning of the 12th (yes, I need a day to put the next bracket together).
Round 2 ends at midnight the night of May 28th. Have your game in by then!

I have what one would call a passing interest at best in chess, but even as an amateur I still enjoy the game.
I have no idea how to record this info, Yahoo chess doesn't record it automatically does it?
I'm awful at chess, but I suppose there's only one way to get better -- I'm in, I guess.
Since then, I have carried a heavy burden that may only be lifted by vengeance.
/me dramatically slams a chess clock beside her, exclaiming, "May the game begin!
(yay)
No, I expect you to die!
But I will play.
The easiest way to accomodate this would be to just set a day or two for the match to take place, and let the two players coordinate it.
I've only played a few times, but everyone else seems as new and it would be a good chance to get better.
I'M IN! 8-)
But I suck when I can't see the pieces in front of me.
Chess is the game with towers and religious people and horsies, right?
We never talk, anymore. Ever since the Linksville chat thread went away.
As for the help part, I don't think "How do I ask my boss out?" would work well either.
(Asking for permission, peh. That's an amateur mistake, because a pro does it by surprise.) ;-)
I'm out of practice.
So yeah, I'm in, assuming I don't have any issues with figuring it out(which I doubt).
pft, 1996?
I think I was on caissa back in about 94 or 95.
I'm probably lucky to be middle-of-the-pack in skill but I do like to play, so count me in.
