(2026-08-05 19:47:26)

jempty george :
the 10 I already added were to join rapid silver
(2026-08-05 19:45:05)

jempty george :
yes I might like to try that, but I'd also need more ePoints
(2026-08-05 19:43:34)

Although, hmm, my e-points are 0.31 currently :D

George, do you want to defend Balogh? :)
(2026-08-05 19:32:21)

jempty george :
thx Scott, BTW, 3.Nf3 Nf6 can be spicy!
(2026-08-05 18:04:49)

ligon scott :
Knight's gambit is too solid, but ok.
(2026-08-05 14:43:24)

jempty george :
Bishop's gambit, for OTB it lays a trap on moves 3,4 !!
(2026-08-05 07:27:48)

jempty george :
cmon Scott Ligon? BTW I have an interesting line against the

jempty george :
haha LOL i thought that was a new cycle, what a dummy!
(2026-08-05 07:24:18)

devassal thibault :
You're still playing it, George ^^
(2026-08-04 23:34:22)

duttagupta aniruddha :
Entered Kings gambit,which have interesting possibilities
(2026-08-04 08:56:21)

jempty george :
i'd vote you in Mr. Pineda ;)
(2026-08-04 01:11:58)

jempty george :
Thib could maybe email the other participants 2 vote on that
(2026-08-04 01:11:31)

pineda ulises :
I could join with a ticket
(2026-08-04 00:11:19)

pineda ulises :
Like, if CHESS__RAPID_GM stretched to 2390+

jempty george :
i need practice against that line too, perhaps next thematic
(2026-08-03 19:07:07)

ligon scott :
Not meant as a dig against that tourney though. Enjoy.
(2026-08-03 18:17:15)

ligon scott :
Knight's gambit too tame for me. Bishop's I'd enter.
(2026-08-03 18:16:37)

An attempt to solution
(2026-08-03 14:11:18)

jempty george :
2050+, the 2300+ range becomes 2250+, etc.??
(2026-08-03 13:43:48)

jempty george :
the lower bound 50 points lower? so 2100+ range becomes ..
(2026-08-03 13:43:07)

jempty george :
a group gets to within one player of being filled then lower
(2026-08-03 13:41:33)

jempty george :
from a web coding standpoint, yes to widening ranges when ..
(2026-08-03 13:40:46)

jempty george :
i think dynamic ranges would be quite hard to "implement" ..

Game 150806 ends with a draw
(2026-08-02 10:47:06)

reboredo daniel :
That’s just my take—I’m just offering my opinion
(2026-08-02 01:31:38)

reboredo daniel :
Good ideas abound, we will resolve it
(2026-08-02 01:12:55)

reboredo daniel :
And the dynamic ranges too
(2026-08-02 01:08:29)

reboredo daniel :
2300+ instead 2300-2499 is a good choice
(2026-08-02 01:07:53)

pineda ulises :
If a tourney doesn't fill up the range widens
(2026-08-01 23:34:23)

pineda ulises :
What about dynamic ranges?
(2026-08-01 23:33:56)

ligon scott :
Also rating range 2300-2499 is silly. Should be 2300+
(2026-08-01 13:18:55)

ligon scott :
Cancel GM 13, merge waitlist with SM 30.
(2026-08-01 13:14:03)

ligon scott :
Consider GM 13 requiring 2500+. Long wait there.
(2026-08-01 13:08:04)

ligon scott :
Standard SM 30 hard to fill, but...
(2026-08-01 13:07:02)

duttagupta aniruddha :
Where are the guys with 2300+ rating?Come on !
(2026-08-01 07:45:07)

duttagupta aniruddha :
2 more players required for Standard SM 30
(2026-08-01 07:44:19)

reboredo daniel :
Thank you, Herb.
(2026-07-31 16:13:07)

reboredo daniel :
To allow the tournament to continue for the others?
(2026-07-31 16:12:47)

reboredo daniel :

(2026-07-31 16:10:17)

reboredo daniel :
Herbert signed up for the tournament and withdrew
(2026-07-31 16:09:57)

jempty george :
also just 1 for standard-M: i'm not even in some of those ..
(2026-07-31 14:32:26)

reboredo daniel :
Only one player more is needed for the No Engines Tournament
(2026-07-31 02:39:50)

jempty george :
the narrow ranges do not seem to be working out
(2026-07-30 18:15:01)

jempty george :
2 more needed for both standard class A & B
(2026-07-30 18:14:43)

devassal thibault :
All opinions are welcome...
(2026-07-30 17:24:36)

jempty george :
i've made a new suggestion for rating ranges, in the forum
(2026-07-30 16:02:29)

guralivu paul :
they do overlap a bit
(2026-07-30 10:31:47)

jempty george :
didn't the ranges used to be overlapping?
(2026-07-29 22:55:53)

pineda ulises :
The opposite of what George wanted
(2026-07-29 22:27:16)

pineda ulises :
play anyone lower even if they wanted,
(2026-07-29 22:27:02)

pineda ulises :
It'd funny because in Standard tourneys a 2300 player can't
(2026-07-29 22:26:31)

jempty george :
next might I suggest the Balogh? 1.e4 d6 2.d4 f5
(2026-07-29 17:26:39)

jempty george :
one more needed for special thematic tourney 1.b4 c6
(2026-07-29 17:26:01)

jempty george :
let's hash it out in a forum thread instead
(2026-07-28 15:50:07)

devassal thibault :
You also asked for this change. Should we go back?
(2026-07-28 15:19:26)

jempty george :
and probably 2300+ be the very highest
(2026-07-27 10:50:06)

jempty george :
i thought they should be made BROADER at the higher echelons
(2026-07-27 10:49:27)

jempty george :
tourneys getting filled in a timely fashion
(2026-07-27 10:47:00)

jempty george :
I think the new rating ranges are resulting in even FEWER ..
(2026-07-27 10:46:37)

jempty george :
especially with the black pieces
(2026-07-20 01:09:33)

(2026-07-19 18:35:00)

jempty george :
ok, LOL
(2026-07-19 13:28:41)

pineda ulises :
Being PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE is my main trait
(2026-07-19 08:58:45)

pineda ulises :
Without it, I'd be completely silent
(2026-07-19 08:58:24)

jempty george :
at least I go back and delete my stupid comments
(2026-07-18 13:39:16)

jempty george :
if you can do it without being PASSIVE AGRESSIVE yourself
(2026-07-18 13:38:42)
