2nd Kuchinashi Tournament (4k-6k)

[Redundant]

I won our last game, and the series by resignation. I'll be meeting the winner of the loser's bracket in the championship (to challenge MountainGo?).

Here's the sgf.

With Jedo's droping out, where does this put me?

I suppose you advance to the next round. Win by default.

[SoDesuNe]

And what is the next round and who will be my next opponent? I'm sorry, I'm totally lost here ^^

You're supposed to play the winner of Nikolas v. Padic but Padic has been MIA for over a month so let's say he's forfeited/dropped out also. so that makes the next game between SoDesuNe and Nikolas73.

[SoDesuNe]

Uhhh, rematch! =D

[Nikolas73]

Uhhh, rematch! =D

I'll send you a pm soon for scheduling - right now I'm pretty swamped for the next few days. Looking forward to it though!

[Redundant]

Shaddy asks, and I quote "WAZZUP WITH THE KUCHINASHI TOURNAMENT?"

[Nikolas73]

Oops. I thought I was still waiting for SoDesuNe to contact me, but it seems he sent a message a week ago that I only got today. I believe we will be playing sometime after Sept. 13th - he offered to resign if that is too late, but I hope that is not the case.

[SoDesuNe]

Yap, we can start scheduling now.
If I understand it correctly, Niklas and I are ten hours apart and since evening times for him are early morning times for me, I guess we will be playing on a weekend : )

One thing, which might interfere is whether or not I'm participating in a tournament next weekend. I will know by Tuesday, until then how about keeping an eye at 10am PST/8pm GMT+1 DST on either Saturday or Sunday?

[Nikolas73]

10am PDT on Sunday should be okay - can't do Saturday mornings I'm afraid, but Saturday evenings may also be an option.

[SoDesuNe]

Then let's say, we play Sunday at 10am PDT/8pm GMT+1 DST, okay?

[Nikolas73]

Sounds good.

[SoDesuNe]

First game Niklas73 (W) vs. SoDesuNe (B): Black wins by resignation.

[SoDesuNe]

I'm sorry, at the moment I can't say, when I have the time for the next games. This week is pretty busy with work and next week awaits a short vacation. Maybe after that, but then the new semester begins.

I'll post an update when I have my schedule.
