Hamissauga Marathon Events

[Bob Gillanders]

Hi All,

Next up in our Marathon events is #7

https://lichess.org/swiss/rHhUJNRC

You can join or leave or rejoin at any time.
We start at 7pm on Wednesday, and play until the computer runs out of pairings.

Our longest to day was #5 with 9 rounds.

Join us for a few games (or as many as you want) and help us get past 9 rounds.
The pie in the sky goal is to max out Lichess platform of 100 maximum # of rounds.

[Bob Gillanders]

A reminder that Marathon #7 starts tonight at 7pm EST.

Join the fun if just for 1 game, or stay for as long as you like.
Join in, take a break, rejoin as often as you like, all we ask is that you remember to click withdraw when you are taking a break.
You can rejoin at any time.

Special call out to our friends in Western Canada. Most of our players are in Ontario. Some of them are heading for sleep time as we approach rounds 7-8-9
Western Canada players essential to help us extend tournament past 9 rounds. Help us!

[Bob Gillanders]

Marathon #7 last week had 16 players and 7 rounds.

Hoping for better turnout tomorrow.

I did some stats and I estimate we will need 237 players to get to round 100.

Why not join out outrageous journey.

Join for just 1 games, or as many as you want. Join anytime, take a break whenever you like.
Just chess and chill.

Marathon #8 last week had 17 players and 9 rounds.
We couldn't quite crack the double digit ceiling although we still had 6 active players for round 10.
But we had all played each other, and the evil computer declined us our 10th round.

Marathon #9 is this Wednesday. Join the fun. Here is the link.

Marathon #9 last week, and the last for 2020,
was just 13 players and 8 rounds. A fitting end to 2020.

Tonight is Marathon #10 and the first for 2021.

Join us and welcome in the new year.

Hello everyone.
We may run the next Marathon on Tornelo site.
I need to give it a test drive.
Will advise later.

But am struggling with it. :(

Will keep trying.

This is very likely the last Marathon tournament.
Will be trying something different starting next week.

[Bob Gillanders]

Okay, at least 1 more Marathon tournament.
https://lichess.org/swiss/dxlpzsSG

Probably the last one!?

But it will be replaced by another format, coming soon.
I just need to get off my lazy ass and learn the new format!! :)

[Bob Gillanders]

Nope, last week was not the last Marathon.

Marathon 24 goes tonight at 7pm.

https://lichess.org/swiss/dlwyia10

If you can't be there by 7pm, just join when you can.
Play 1 games, or as many as you like.

We just keep going until all possible pairings are exhausted.

Great place to try off beat stuff, just have fun, no CFC Rating points at risk.

[Bob Gillanders]
