Great game!

It was tense for quite a while. You made some unconventional moves in the opening and I was worried for quite a while that my decision to give up the D file and allow both your rooks to reach the 7th rank was going to cost me.

Yeah I couldn't do anything with them, though. It was frustrating.

I'm not sure what the purpose of that "Canal Attack" was, and I wish I had realized the value of c4 earlier.

Full schedule.

Third round pairings:

iamnotawerewolf - gambit8888
UncleDynamite - LordJvK
rtspurs - Aksdal
jcohen - Gamer Dude

From this moment forth iamnotawerewolf, LordJvK, rtspurs and jcohen have 48h to make a move. As usual, I will send a reminder to all players that round 3 has started.

Good luck, everyone!

I'm not using that site for randing tournaments ever again. There are way too many players with all-white or all-black streaks. Gamer Dude has started with 3 black games, iamnotawerewolf is playing 6 white games in the first half of the tournament and 6 black games in the second half.

since it's a double RR that would be easily fixable if we wanted to change it

I'm not sure it is a good idea to change the round order after the tournament has started, but if there's a proposal on how to shift rounds and everyone else agrees to it, I will vote in favour of it as well.

I may prefer a couple black games after this one.

Not sure how to structure it, though.

For example, Gamer Dude has already played two consecutive games with Black and is about to start a third one; at this point of the tournament, it would be unfair to deprive him of his White streak.
