The DKos Chess Tournament 2009 open thread is now open! Updated standings and results through Round 4 are posted below.
Round 4 is scheduled to end tomorrow evening. I will be at a baseball game tomorrow night, so chess players will have a little extra time to get their matches in. I will be releasing the match-ups most likely on early Tuesday morning, but please keep an eye out for your e-mail and an updated tournament diary.
To Keith Olbermann: I am still challenging you to a chess match! This is now Day 3 since the challenge was issued. Yeah, I know you might be "busy" and you might "have better things to do." But that's just code for "I'm not good at chess" in my book! Prove me wrong, sir. Ball's still in your court.
ROUND 4 MATCH-UPS
The match-ups for Round 4 have been selected by the Tournament Director based on the results of Rounds 1-3 and the approximate skill rating of each player. All matches will have a 30-minute time limit per player, 0 bonus time. Every effort is being ensured to maintain color balance. In other words, every player will have ample opportunity to play as both White and Black throughout the tournament.
