Round Robin, two games against each player.

I suggest to set'em up in this thread so as not to clutter the forum.

Have fun!

Are you saying all twenty games would be played in this one thread? That sounds like it could become quite confusing.

Dragon Phoenix · Judge Doom

Hmmm.... Genius, huh?

OK, keep this for the results update and open your own threads.

Just a suggestion here to keep the number of threads to a minimum: each person starts a thread containing the four games where they play the White side. Anybody have any objections to this idea?

Qball · In the Quorner Pocket

No objections. Just no idea how to set up the chessboards.

Sparticus · Spourk's Insignificant Other

Chessboards are set using the spiffy {CHESS} tag. Using square brackets instead of braces, of course.

To make an initial chess board, just type {CHESS}{/CHESS}. This is what it should look like:

Chess Board

Player 1

Player 2

Moves are made by typing the starting square of the piece and the square it will end up. White Pawn to e4 followed by Black Pawn to e5 is like this: {CHESS}e2e4.e7e5{/CHESS}

Chess Board

Player 1

Player 2

Notice the periods to separate the moves. The return key does the same thing and is recommended to use after each pair of moves, to look neater.

{CHESS}e2e4.e7e5
g1f3.g8f6{/CHESS}

Chess Board

Player 1

Player 2

...for Petrov's Defense. If I confused you, there is a better explanation in the sticky thread at the top of this forum. (at least, I think there is one, if I remember right)

EDIT: Oops, I forgot about player names. I'm not sure how to set that.

Also, when setting up a new thread for a game, the topic should be started by the Chess username. Ask someone (I forgot who) for the password, and you're not supposed to share it. You just edit that board when making a move, as well as posting your move to push the thread back up.
