Point of clarification;  

X vs Y.

X will play white & Y will play black. Is that correct?

Thank you

Mitch, spoken like a typical pragmatist. Pythagoras and all mathematicians would blink at your genius !!

It has been pointed out that one of the first round games has been arranged with an incorrect time control. Their are two options open to me, I could ask stan to change it or have assurance from the players concerned that the "30" day limit set will not be enforced.

I'm not typical. Can't type at all and that might explain a lot about the rash of teenage pragmatism occurring of late.

Why do you ask, "mickeypoll", about my name, and no one else's, even while not declaring your own "real name"? Just wondering.

You should be able to determine my real name quite easily, as my profile provides ample information. I am not even quite sure, mikeypoll, under which player name you operate when plaing chess here at Stan's.

[mickeypoll]

I know everybody else on the site. Having played them before. Mickeypoll is not a username on stans, its just a username i created for this message board,.

BIG MITCH V ALSKI 11 HIGHBOTTOM V FINDLAY12207 WITHNAIL V COMET JOBLACK V WINGGAME GUYBRUSH V PAWNPUSHER47

I am old fashioned, and prefer not revealing private information about myself when challenged on a public forum.
Since you know everyone else on this site, perhaps you would indulge me by asking somebody to introduce you, as you've chosen to conceal your own name and who you are on Stansco behind a different handle here on the board.
As you can tell from my messages, player profile, home page, and more than ten years of game history on this board, I am not that hard to get to know.

[mickeypoll]

Public forum it is, we are currently communicating via email. It was a simple question as i didnt know your first name but its no problem. As for my handle,. you know it because im playing in the ten man tournament my handle in that is Findlay12207. I merely used my name to create a profile username here which is allowed.
