OMG that was AWESOME! Is this like an automatic thing (like, did you just throw in the log) , or did you replay the whole game? Either way, I really appreciate it, the game was awesome!
I redid the moves one by one, used "Take back all moves", and then "Redo move", hence why some more important moves take a bit longer to be played.

Yall probably won't believe me, but I had to stop trying to survive and find a way to win, so I first found the opening in the sequence that starts from PawnXBishop near the end. It led to a point where I'd be forced to move my rook, and that move had to look natural. I had another option that shouted "LOOK! Checkmate here!" The rest of it was trying to get that damn knight to move.
Congrats on an awesomely played game by lavalarva! He won and moves onto the Finals! This was a great game with a great game log. I'm sure he'll be posting the video soon.
wow, i just saw that vid and klim really dropped that ball on that one. way to take advantage ghandi. good f'n job

Ghandi made two small mistakes : one that allowed me to win a pawn, and one that allowed me to clear the board.
Then we both played about equally, messing up the endgame, as we later realized Ghandi could have won by taking the pawn and forcing the exchange of knights near the end.

Congratulations, lavalarva and Douche. You are the last two standing.
One match left:
Douche (W1) vs lavalarva (E3).
lavalarva must win twice to win the title, Douche only needs to win once. If you guys schedule the match please post it in here in case people want to watch. Good luck to you both.
Painting, then restaurant for Mother's Day, then homework, so not today.
And my free time for this week depends on how long these homeworks will take. All I can tell you for now is not before Wednesday.

I had every intention of showing until a birthday party for my fiances best friends husbands turned into a surprise graduation party for me.
No more school EVER so my free time is pretty open, aside from 4-midnight.

Well, the next two weeks are exam weeks, and my schedule is completely fucked up (I have the same exam scheduled for both Monday and Friday :O),
so I'll decide on a time once this will be cleared up.
But we may have trouble playing if you're never free during evenings

Well it's only Sunday - Thursday when 4 - 12 is an issue. Fridays and Saturdays are open all day.

Well, as Douche doesn't seem to care whenever we play, I scheduled the match with IRC people instead :O
We came up with Friday 7 PM. As long as Douche is okay with that time, that's when it'll be done, so come watch us if you're free
I'll make a video soon enough, but for now it's sleep time.

Great game, Douche and lava.
And congratulations to Douche for winning the whole thing! He didn't lose a single match the entire competition. Very nice. As a trophy, I made this alternate avatar for you (feel free to change it any way you want, or not even use it):
I'd like to thank everyone who participated. I had a great time and I hope everyone else did, too. And maybe you found a few more people to play some chess with if you're bored. :O
EDIT: Here's one for lavalarva. You get a silver bishop! This one looks kind of weird with your avatar, so if you want to change it at all, or not even display it, all good. But I wanted to make it available. I'd do one for Ghandi, too...but he has a gif and I wouldn't know how to add a little bronze pawn to the corner of that thing.
So I missed the match after all ;_;
Well, long live DouCHESS! (Though, that kind of sounds like a Lady Douche... and Lady Douche sounds like a very personal cleaning product...)
I guess the annoying random PMs did the trick :O:O
