State of the League

We have official passed the halfway point of the season! With 4 rounds complete, The Questionmarks are currently the sole leader as the only team with a perfect match record.

This past week also saw quite a few unusual occurances. There were 4 forfeits in one match all by Peter's Swindlers. There was a first red card handed out for the season, several players (mostly board 1) were removed from the league, and 2 games had to be resumed because someone erroneously "claimed victory." Let's calm down with all the insanity please. Play fair, read the rules, and please contact moderators about any issues.  

The registration for Season 9 of 4545 is now closed. This means that an email list has been created to notify folks about registration for Season 10. You can register for the Season 10 mailing list here.

Chess For You

 

"The process of rating players can be compared to the measurement of the position of a cork bobbing up and down on the surface of agitated water with a yard stick tied to a rope and which is swaying in the wind."

I got strong ideas about my house. I’m going to hire the best architect and have him build it in the shape of a rook. Yeah, that’s for me. Class. Spiral staircases, parapets, everything. I want to live the rest of my life in a house built exactly like a rook.
