Back to forum Thibault de Vassal (2009-05-23) 1st team tournament : games & results ! A new thread to comment the games & results in the 1st FICGS team tournament that just started ! The teams are : >> The knights who say "Ni" Michael Aigner - 2602 Xavier Pichelin - 2577 Hannes Rada - 2559 Thibault de Vassal - 2473 >> FSF En Passant Heinz-Georg Lehnhoff (2270) Volker Koslowski (2264) Sebastian Boehme (2175) Roland Markus (2096) >> The Dark Knights William Taylor - 2140 Scott Nichols - 2089 Don Groves - 1991 Josef Riha - 1989 >> Happy Pawn Stephane Legrand 2209 Garvin Gray 2125 Daniel Parmet 1961 Ilmar Cirulis 1805 >> Yellow-Blue Warriors Iouri Basiliev Dmytro Romaniuk Ostap Hladky Yura Lemehov >> The Ghost Knights Vadim Khachaturov Yugi Inving Sophie Leclerc Jorge Orden >> The Knights with no name (yet) Alexander Blinchevsky Stanimir Denchev Benjamin Block Ranganathan Raman You can follow the games here : http://www.ficgs.com/user_page.php?page=tournament&tournament=FICGS__CHESS__TEAM_EVENT_TABLE_1__000001 http://www.ficgs.com/user_page.php?page=tournament&tournament=FICGS__CHESS__TEAM_EVENT_TABLE_2__000001 http://www.ficgs.com/user_page.php?page=tournament&tournament=FICGS__CHESS__TEAM_EVENT_TABLE_3__000001 http://www.ficgs.com/user_page.php?page=tournament&tournament=FICGS__CHESS__TEAM_EVENT_TABLE_4__000001 Note : The first player displayed in each tournament table is not always the player of the first team because when the 1st & 3rd players of a team play White against another team, the 2nd & 4th play Black against the same team, this is not obvious to read (sorry). I'm really sorry to the 2 players that were not included in a team, but we had to start the tournament now... The last team may still announce their name (provisional : "The knights with no name") Have nice games :) Ranganathan Raman (2009-05-23 00:52:50) Our Team king >> The Knights with no name (yet) TEAM NAME:Our Team King Alexander Blinchevsky Stanimir Denchev Benjamin Block Ranganathan Raman Sophie Leclerc (2009-05-23 07:43:14) I good games »I think there will plenty of interessing games. I find it strange to play on table 3, but it may be true that yugi is stronger then me, I just have his number... Why I could not play versus you thibeault..... I am not worry, I will hold still for sometimes. Our team king. what a name to use, ho well, good idea, never tought about it... it feel not original, but it is. Good games for everyone. Normajean Yates (2009-05-23 07:55:14) the knights with no name - is fine! Doesn't someone remember a film (long ago) called 'A horse with no name'? imdb doesn't list this film; but imdb is not infallible! Scott Nichols (2009-05-23 09:11:45) A song? I know a band called America had a song called "A horse with no name" Alexander Blinchevsky (2009-05-23 09:35:44) The Knights with no name I like this name too. Just remove "yet" in brackets ;) Good luck for all teams in the 1st team tournament and a lot of thanks to you, Thibault! Rodolfo d Ettorre (2009-05-23 09:58:27) The Knights with no name What about the "No Frills Knights"? Normajean Yates (2009-05-24 01:03:57) Scott Nichols: a song? could be.. could well be it was a song and it wasn't a film - I havent seen the film (if there was one) nor heard of the song: just that memories of 'auld lang syne' tell me there used to be *something* with this name -- or should that be 'with this no-name'? :) Normajean Yates (2009-05-24 01:12:52) oh I remember the song ! I've heard it! I Scott's post too fast so I misread 'a band *in* America' for 'a band called America' - memory retrieved properly with a little bit of help from Scott! That was a fairly decent group, America - I mean, listenable... Strange how mental association works at a subconscious level - why did I use the phrase 'auld lang syne' in my prev post? I think the subconscious went Scott [Nichols] -> Scottish -> Robert Burns -> Auld Lang Syne.. Thibault de Vassal (2009-05-25 22:06:06) Tables Hi Sophie, the fact is that I placed the players just as the teams were given in the forum (usually ordered by rating but this was not an obligation). The games are really interesting anyway :) Yugi Inving (2009-05-25 22:48:19) Not the team I do not speak about the teams, but about the boards... You did not want to agaisn't me... Sophie Leclerc (2009-05-25 22:51:34) Wrong account. Sorry for using the wrong account... I feel as his account is mine... What a friend I am.... (Sarcasm. ) Just waiting for sacrifice to appear and it may okay. Thibault de Vassal (2009-05-26 17:58:46) Boards I was speaking about the boards also. I was ok to play against you as well, why not ?! Sophie Leclerc (2009-05-27 01:59:45) games ho well, I'll play agaisn't you later, for now, i'll wait to have good games on these ones. Sophie Leclerc (2009-06-02 22:41:49) deceptions ho well, some deception there. I was waiting for a bloodpathj in romaniuk-Inving, right away, but black did not accept, such sadness. Thibault de Vassal (2009-06-03 01:29:29) Exciting games :) Hi Sophie, It can't work every time... There are many exciting games in the tournament though :) Garvin Gray (2009-06-15 07:14:14) issues?? A couple of issues: 1) Each time I click on the four links provided, I keep getting directed to another page which then asks for my username and password and this cycle keeps repeating. The end result is that I do not get to see anything in the links. 2) Is there a way to see how my team is going against another team ie in board order? Instead of how it is currently displayed with the results of all those on board 1,2 etc. Thibault de Vassal (2009-06-16 14:17:09) To Garvin 1) Quite strange... is there the same problem for other players ? 2) Did you try to click the magnifying glass just after the name of the tournament (on the tournament page only) to see the crosstable ? Not perfect but better, most probably. Scott Nichols (2009-06-26 16:14:16) back to top just getting this back to the top, :) Thibault de Vassal (2009-06-26 20:41:19) First Results Table 2 : Nichols - Denchev : 1-0 Table 3 : Rada - Leclerc : 1-0 , Rada - Boehme : 1/2 , Groves - Parmet : 1/2 Table 4 : Orden - de Vassal : 0-1 , Markus - Orden : 1-0 , Orden - Lemekhov : 0-1 , Orden - Riha : 0-1 To be continued. Scott Nichols (2009-07-11 17:17:38) Back to top Back to the top. :) Thibault de Vassal (2009-07-11 22:28:25) Results Table 1 : No results Table 2 : Nichols 2 Table 3 : Rada 1.5 , Boehme 0.5 , Groves 1.5 , Parmet 0.5 , Hladky 3 Table 4 : Markus 1 , de Vassal 1 , Riha 2 , Lemekhov 2 Quite good for the Dark Knights so far :) Xavier Pichelin (2009-07-12 17:07:51) Result Table 2 Gray - Pichelin = 1/2-1/2 Iouri Basiliev (2009-07-12 23:26:10) 1st team tournament : games & results ! Would be nice to see the teams points. Kind of common table. Garvin Gray (2009-07-13 09:27:10) point that was my point long ago! Don Groves (2009-07-13 11:00:55) Team points The team points are all 0/0 until at least two teams finish all their games against each other. Has that happened yet? Xavier Pichelin (2009-07-13 13:12:03) Result Pichelin 1 - 0 Denchev. Iouri Basiliev (2009-07-13 14:59:09) 1st team tournament I'm lost. Where we can see the 1st team tournament reglament? Would be team match points counted or just all players points? Sorry, i can't scan all the messages. Thibault de Vassal (2009-07-13 17:03:23) Rules (reminder) If a team scores 4-0 or 3-1 against another team, it is 2 points for the winning team and 0 for the other one, 1 point for each team if the score is 2-2. So we still have to wait to see significant results. I'll publish clear results here as soon as possible. Iouri Basiliev (2009-07-13 20:24:46) 1st team tournament Thx Thibault, it's clear now. Sophie Leclerc (2009-07-20 01:49:48) very bad day I am having a very bad day. I resign games whitout knowing, accident and play horribly whitout knowing what I play.... I am thinking about something else. Rose Xu (2009-07-24 04:42:22) [spam deleted] Rodolfo d Ettorre (2009-07-24 05:11:48) Re wholesale cheap supra shoes Are the prices in E-Points? Don Groves (2009-07-24 07:10:30) Wholesale cheap shoes No, Rudolfo, the prices are in cans of Spam ;-) Thibault de Vassal (2009-07-24 11:57:47) Spam This is one of the most common spam on the internet nowadays... Obviously, concurrence is hard for them :) Iouri Basiliev (2009-08-16 10:55:25) first results on the table 1 Michael made 2 draws with me and Vadim. Iouri Basiliev (2009-09-01 18:10:07) 1st team tournament : games & results It seems "Yellow-Blue" team lost one player (Romaniuk, Dmytro ), but continue to play. Thibault de Vassal (2009-09-23 17:47:40) Results 6 games out of 21 finished on table 1 18 games out of 21 finished on table 2 10 games out of 21 finished on table 3 16 games out of 21 finished on table 4 No clear result yet, but I can say without any doubt that Yura Lemekhov does it very well on table 4 ! To be continued. Iouri Basiliev (2009-09-25 09:17:51) Team points Some of the matches have been finished already. Time to make the teams table :) Thibault de Vassal (2009-10-22 20:23:32) Results Almost all games are finished on tables 2, 3 & 4 .. There is no doubt that Yura will win the tournament on table 4! (the Morra gambit is really hard to play against a good player, definitely :)) Garvin Gray (2009-11-13 17:50:34) can't view team mates results. I have just tried viewing results from other tables via the links provided and am still having problems opening the links in a new window. I know I have mentioned this before, but thought I would point out that the issue still exists. William Taylor (2009-11-13 18:18:27) Lots of draws No decisive games so far in table 1. I wonder if there will be any. Thibault de Vassal (2009-11-14 22:24:31) Results Yes, results are not really easy to read, I'll make an update when a few more games will finish. Garvin Gray (2009-11-15 04:35:02) team play The reason I ask is that I would like to know how my team is going in a particular match just in case I wish to offer a draw or am offered one. Having to wait till a few more results are in does not work because the above information is required asap. Thibault de Vassal (2009-11-16 22:28:27) Results ! Finally, according to my calculations : - Finished matches [Team (Points)] Knights who say Ni (1) - Dark knights (1) Knights who say Ni (2) - Happy pawn (0) Knights who say Ni (2) - Ghost knights (0) Dark knights (2) - Happy pawn (0) Dark knights (0) - Yellow blue warriors (2) Dark knights (2) - Ghost knights (0) Happy pawn (2) - Ghost knights (0) Yellow blue warriors (2) - Ghost knights (0) - Unfinished matches Knights who say Ni vs. FSF : 1-1 Knights who say Ni vs Yellow blue warriors : 2-1 Knights who say Ni vs. Our team king : 2-0 FSF vs. Dark knights : 1.5-1.5 FSF vs. Happy pawn : 1-0 FSF vs. Yellow blue warriors : 3-0 FSF vs. Our team king : 2-0 Dark knights vs. Our team king : 2.5-0.5 Happy pawn vs. Yellow blue warriors : 1-2 Happy pawn vs. Our team king : 1-0 Yellow blue warriors vs. Our team king : 1.5-1.5 Ghost knights vs. Our team king : 0.5-2.5 I hope I didn't make mistakes for the unfinished matches. Nice victory by Yellow blue warriors against The dark knights ! So Garvin, in your match against FSF (Koslowski), FSF leads by 1-0 Daniel Parmet (2009-11-17 00:33:40) Scores very confusing... these results confuse me... if the match is 2-0 then its not finished and could still be drawn 2-2. If the match is finished then its either 1-0 0-1 or .5-.5 Explain?! Don Groves (2009-11-17 04:43:51) Team scoring Apparently, it's two points for a win and one point for a draw. Thibault de Vassal (2009-11-17 08:50:48) Team scoring That's it, sorry Daniel I should have specified it. So when a team has 2 points, it means that the team won the match by 4-0, 3.5-0.5, 3-1 or 2.5-1.5 Iouri Basiliev (2009-11-18 16:40:46) 1st team tournament : games & results ! FSF vs. Yellow blue warriors : 3-0 ***WRONG*** Iouri Basiliev (2009-11-18 16:48:24) 1st team tournament : games & results ! FSF vs. Yellow blue warriors : 2-1 and one game left on the table 3 Thibault de Vassal (2009-11-18 16:58:36) Results True, I meant : FSF vs. Yellow blue warriors : 2-1 FSF vs. Ghost knights : 3-0 My bad, sorry... Scott Nichols (2009-12-22 03:36:06) very unofficial results so far... This includes games which may still have one playing, but will not alter the result. Of course, many are unreslved as yet. #1. (as expected, :)) Dark Knights 8.0 #2. The Knights who say "Ni" 5.0 #3. Yellow-Blue Warriors 4.0 #4. Two with 2.0 William Taylor (2009-12-22 12:16:38) Go Dark Knights! Well done to all of us for performing above our rating, and congrats to Josef and particularly Scott for finishing with plus scores. Let's hope The Knights who say 'Ni' don't catch us. Rolf Staggat (2009-12-22 12:24:54) A Horse with no Name - America I´ve been through the desert on a horse with no name, it felt good to be out of the rain, in the desert you can remember your name, cause there ain´t no one for to give you no pain. Iouri Basiliev (2009-12-22 23:59:36) 1st team tournament : games & results ! What you are talking about, guys? The true winner is definetelly Y-BW :) Iouri Basiliev (2009-12-27 13:01:25) 1st team tournament : games & results ! First blood on the table 1 :) Scott Nichols (2010-01-31 01:04:06) 1st team tournament : games & results ! Hello everyone! I thought it was time for an update to our first team tournament. I will give my totally (doesn't mean a thing) IMHO the outcome here. After looking at all the unfinished game positions, consulting the stars, and taking into account there is a full moon tonight...here is what I think will be the first four teams. Tied for third will be---The Dark Knights & The Yellow-Blue Warriors! One point ahead of them will be----The Knights who say "Ni"!, give them a hand. And finally, a full two points ahead of the field is the winners-----FSF En Passant!! Of course, like I said this is just my humble opinion. Seriously, one game to watch is #32188 between two up and coming players who just broke over 2300 each and still climbing, Boehme vs Hladky. Iouri Basiliev (2010-03-17 11:33:52) 1st team tournament : games & results ! Thibault, you can resign in the game 32204 :) This is 6p Nalimov's TB. Yellow-Blue Warriors geting 1 extra match point! Could someone udate the tournament status? Thibault de Vassal (2010-03-17 14:42:57) 1st team tournament : games & results ! Hi Iouri... Well, my old computer can't even see it (just realized that modern computers are about 40x faster :/) , but I just checked the shredder bases online, this is checkmate in 21 moves indeed. It was predictable anyway :) .. I just resigned. Table 1 : 4 unfinished games remaining (Iouri leading) Table 2 : 0 unfinished games remaining (Volker won) Table 3 : 2 unfinished games remaining (Ostap leading) Table 4 : 0 unfinished games remaining (Yura won) One thing is sure already, our yellow-blue chessfriends did it very well ! So... "Team 1" - "Team 2" : points (score) "Ni" - "FSF" : FSF leads by 1 point "Ni" - "Dark" : 1-1 (2-2) "Ni" - "Happy" : 2-0 (3-1) "Ni" - "YB" : 1-1 (2-2) "Ni" - "Ghost" : 2-0 (3.5-0.5) "Ni" - "No" : 2-0 (leads by 2 points) "FSF" - "Dark" : 1-1 (2-2) "FSF" - "Happy" : FSF leads by 1 point "FSF" - "YB" : 2-0 (2.5-1.5) "FSF" - "Ghost" : 2-0 (leads by 3 points) "FSF" - "No" : 2-0 (3.5-0.5) "Dark" - "Happy" : 2-0 (2.5-1.5) "Dark" - "YB" : 0-2 (1.5-2.5) "Dark" - "Ghost" : 2-0 (3.5-0.5) "Dark" - "No" : 2-0 (3-1) "Happy" - "YB" : YB leads by 1 point "Happy" - "Ghost" : 2-0 (3.5-0.5) "Happy" - "No" : 2-0 (3-1) "YB" - "Ghost" : 2-0 (2.5-0.5) "YB" - "No : 2-0 (2.5-1.5) "Ghost" - "No" : 0-2 (1.5-2.5) Total : Knights who say Ni : 8 points (-) FSF en passant : 7 points (++) Dark knights : 8 points Happy pawn : 4 pawns (--) Yellow Blue warriors : 7 points (+) Ghost knights : 0 points Our team king (knights with no name) : 2 points (+) meaning : leads in a match yet, (-) meaning : is leaded in a match yet Nothing is decided yet... but it looks like Yellow-Blue have good chances, which is particularly impressive with a player who made 0/6 ! Iouri Basiliev (2010-04-17 11:37:50) 1st team tournament : games & results ! "Happy" - "YB" : 0-2 (1.5-2.5) Yellow Blue warriors : 9 points Iouri Basiliev (2010-05-10 09:40:37) 1st team tournament : games & results ! 1 game (32187) left. Waiting :) Thibault de Vassal (2010-07-28 16:00:00) 1st team tournament : games & results ! Still waiting for the end of the game Parmet-Boehme before the definitive results! http://www.ficgs.com/user_page.php?page=viewer&game=32187 Thibault de Vassal (2010-08-02 14:08:31) The last game just finished... Parmet-Boehme : 0-1 I'll give the final results in a few hours! Thibault de Vassal (2010-08-03 12:46:54) Congratulations to "FSF en passant" Finally here are the final results !!! "FSF En passant" won this very interesting tournament by 1 point ahead of 2 teams !! The suspense was until the very last games to know the final team ranks. The fact to note: Yellow Blue warriors finish second while they were actually 3 players in the team, Yura Lemekhov played an amazing tournament (5.5/6 , perf 2456) ... (the last player stopped to play :/) Thanks to all players, it was lots of fun! I'll try to make the things clearer in the tournaments pages for the next edition... 10 points for : FSF En Passant Heinz-Georg Lehnhoff (2270) Volker Koslowski (2264) Sebastian Boehme (2175) Roland Markus (2096) 9 (tot: 15.5) points for : The knights who say "Ni" Michael Aigner (2602) Xavier Pichelin (2577) Hannes Rada (2559) Thibault de Vassal (2473) 9 (tot: 13.5) points for : Yellow-Blue Warriors Iouri Basiliev (2173) Dmytro Romaniuk (1937) Ostap Hladky (2176) Yura Lemehov (2171) 8 points for : The Dark Knights William Taylor (2140) Scott Nichols (2089) Don Groves (1991) Josef Riha (1989) 4 points for : Happy Pawn Stephane Legrand (2209) Garvin Gray (2125) Daniel Parmet (1961) Ilmar Cirulis (1805) 2 points for : Our team King Alexander Blinchevsky Stanimir Denchev Benjamin Block Ranganathan Raman 0 point for : The Ghost Knights Vadim Khachaturov Yugi Inving Sophie Leclerc Jorge Orden Ni FSF Dark Happy Blue Ghost King Aigner 1 = = = = = Pich 0 = = 1 1 1 Rada = = 1 = 1 = DeVas = = 1 0 1 1 0 Lehnh = = = = = 1 Koslo = = 1 1 1 = Boehm = 1 = 1 1 = Marku = 1 = 1 1 = = Taylo = = = = = = Nicho = 1 1 1 = = Grove = 0 1 = = = Riha 1 0 1 1 = = = Legra = = = = = = Gray 1 1 1 0 0 = Parmet 0 1 = 0 0 0 Ciruli 0 1 1 = = = = Basili = 1 0 0 0 0 Romani 0 0 = = 1 1 Hladky 1 = 1 = 1 1 Lemekh 1 1 = 1 = = = Khacha = 0 0 0 0 1 Inving 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lecler 0 0 0 0 0 0 Orden 1 = = = = 0 = Blinch 0 0 0 0 1 1 Denchev = 0 = = = 1 Block 0 0 0 0 0 0 Raman "Team 1" - "Team 2" : points (score) "Ni" - "FSF" : 1-1 (2-2) "Ni" - "Dark" : 1-1 (2-2) "Ni" - "Happy" : 2-0 (3-1) "Ni" - "YB" : 1-1 (2-2) "Ni" - "Ghost" : 2-0 (3.5-0.5) "Ni" - "King" : 2-0 (3-1) "FSF" - "Dark" : 1-1 (2-2) "FSF" - "Happy" : 2-0 (3-1) "FSF" - "YB" : 2-0 (2.5-1.5) "FSF" - "Ghost" : 2-0 (3.5-0.5) "FSF" - "King" : 2-0 (3.5-0.5) "Dark" - "Happy" : 2-0 (2.5-1.5) "Dark" - "YB" : 0-2 (1.5-2.5) "Dark" - "Ghost" : 2-0 (3.5-0.5) "Dark" - "King" : 2-0 (3-1) "Happy" - "YB" : 0-2 (1.5-2.5) "Happy" - "Ghost" : 2-0 (3.5-0.5) "Happy" - "King" : 2-0 (3-1) "YB" - "Ghost" : 2-0 (2.5-0.5) "YB" - "King" : 2-0 (2.5-1.5) "Ghost" - "King" : 0-2 (1.5-2.5) Definitely, even if the "Knights who say Ni" team decided before the match to play unusual openings in most games, this tournament shows again that the strength gap between top players and players rated 2150-2300 is not big at all as many of these players tend to reach the 2400 barrier... Scott Nichols (2010-08-03 22:00:53) 1st team tournament : games & results ! Thanks Thib for this great tournament. It helped us all make new friends. And working together was a great treat. Alexander Blinchevsky (2010-08-06 16:17:45) 1st team tournament : games & results ! Great tournament! Thanks to all of you.
