7 point einstein marathon tournament

woww, cool, thanks :-))

Tournament begins soon! One day left to register. 26 players are currently in the tournament…

hi, is this a rated Tournament?

follow the link and check it :)

Yes, it is rated (tournament begins today)

hm, one player resign all his games and no points are came und go. why?

because resigning before your 1st move does not affect any rating.

That one player would be me? I was not aware that I signed up

for this tournament. Perhaps I misclicked, or there's some bug in the system.

Resigning early keeps the ratings unchanged, so I thought that's the easiest way

to fix this, without inconveniencing the other players too much.

Best regards - J.W.

fine, thanks for the information. hope we all have fun in the tournament.

This tournament started on January 1. We just finished the first round! (11 months exactly!) Round two began today (Dec. 1) My game with Roy78 was the last game to finish, 203 moves… There were several games that lasted more than that. The record is 252 moves!! (Nagy Fathy beat CleverHunk)

Are you going to make one this year as well? ;)

I want to set up a new tournament, yes, but I am not currently a member. I plan to rejoin in January, and I will set one up after Jan. 1.

If you want, I can set it up for you. What title do you want? Limits? black hole or not? If you want a password, message me directly.

Thank you Aganju and idiot for offering to set up a new one! I too am not a member right now, so I can't set it up. So Aganju, that would be great if you could set up a new one! I think a good one to set up would be the same as it was set up last year (normal variation, 7 game match, ideally starting on January 1 again!, no password) Thanks…Of course, you may set it up any way you like…Or maybe you could set up two (a normal and a black hole marathon!)

oh yes, a marathon is not a marathon unless it is double round robin :)

looks like black hole is not an add-on option to 7-points, but instead. I set both up anyway, if not many people subscribe, I can always cancel it.

Black Hole

why are so many intense players not members? Do you think the price is to high? Or is it to cumbersome?

I think this is the cheapest fun you can buy, I play 4-6 hours a day * 365 days for ~25$, that's only 1.4 cent per hour of play!?

Or you could see it as 7 cents per day all-you-can-play! ;-)

Although I would really like to get informed when membership runs out. Mine is about to expire, but I don't know when exactly. Will I not be able to modify my own tournaments any more? And have -10 days of vacation suddenly?

Everything will come back to normal once you renew…

Maybe Richard would even accept a paypal transfer before it expires? ;-)

I see no difference betwwen those 2, am I mistaken?

Looks like I copied the same link twice :-(

Here the proper links:

Black Hole

Thanks Aganju!

Remarkable… blardragon didn't get a single simulated win (0 rather than 0.00%, while is is clearly still possible he even wins with the maximum…

Not only he is the lower rating but he's behind in almost every game (far behind in some of them), while yper already conquered 9 wins! I'd hardly call that remarkable.

congrats ypercube on clinching first place, nearly a year and a half after the tournament began….you dominated this one!

jepp, congrats from me too. real nice tournament

Formally, although it won't happens in any of RoRoRo's simulations, blargdragon can still be the champion for this tournament: with 11 games to go, he can reach 22 points, against yper's 20. (I also don't believe that will happen, so congrats yper!)

Marius, you are right, as of the time of roro's last post, blargdragon had a mathematical chance. He has since lost three more, so now ypercube's first place is clinched. Interesting that roro did not post the updated predictions. I believe that when one player shows 100% p(win) then roro stops posting, but in this case, it was NOT a 100% chance of winning mathematically (only by “simulation”). This is a minor bug with roro's predictions. (roro should be smart enough to determine if a player has mathematically clinched or not. If the player has not clinched, perhaps it should only show 99.9% instead of 100% (and show the long-shot at 0.01%)
