Fediverse Chess Tournament - Lemmy

Let’s do a small Fediverse chess tournament! Everyone is welcome to join! We will play 10-minute games (10+0) on lichess [https://lichess.org/], a free and open-source chess website. You will be assigned an opponent and will have 2 days to schedule and play your match. I will decide on the structure of the tournament (brackets, groups etc.) based on the number of sign-ups here :) Sign up by commenting here with your lichess account name. Signup deadline is Wednesday, 2pm UTC. Shortly after, I’ll announce the first pairings :) Looking forward to some nice matches ❤️ Update: ## Active round: 1 vincenius [https://lichess.org/@/vincenius] - Coolbootyjames [https://lichess.org/@/Coolbootyjames] library_patron [https://lichess.org/@/library_patron] - BabaDuda [https://lichess.org/@/BabaDuda] (0:1) mycowan [https://lichess.org/@/mycowan] - Fabiozeh [https://lichess.org/@/Fabiozeh] (0:1) Caboose12000 [https://lichess.org/@/mycowan] - CrazyMerlyn [https://lichess.org/@/Fabiozeh] (0:1) eulheim [https://lichess.org/@/eulheim] - / ## Table | Player | Points | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | | BabaDuda [https://lichess.org/@/BabaDuda] | 1 / 1 | | Fabiozeh [https://lichess.org/@/Fabiozeh] | 1 / 1 | | CrazyMerlyn [https://lichess.org/@/CrazyMerlyn] | 1 / 1 | | library_patron [https://lichess.org/@/library_patron] | 0 / 1 | | mycowan [https://lichess.org/@/mycowan] | 0 / 1 | | Caboose12000 [https://lichess.org/@/Caboose12000] | 0 / 1 | | Coolbootyjames [https://lichess.org/@/Coolbootyjames] | 0 / 0 | | vincenius [https://lichess.org/@/vincenius] | 0 / 0 | | eulheim [https://lichess.org/@/eulheim] | 0 / 0 |

Just peeking through the door - Checking if the chess tournament is still ongoing or everyone fell asleep.
I got frustrated because I couldn't see any new comments in the thread, and most of the old ones also disappeared for me. I also tried different instances. So I don't know if others played the second round 😅
Caboose12000 and I have been trying to get our Rd 2 game in, but we just seem to keep missing one another. Still tryin tho!
