I PM both AZDuffman and Wizard. TheNightFly will play the winner of their game.
Everybody else, feel free to play.
This round is single elimination. It is planned that the Semi Finals will be single elimination as well, however, looking ahead, if you all wish to make it a best of 3 series, then there you go.
1. mkl654321 vs minnesotajoe
2. odiousgambit v gog
3. petro v ElectricDreams
4. TheNightFly v Wizard/AZDuffman
5. Winner of 1 v Winner of 2
6. Winner of 3 v Winner of 4
7. Winner of 5 v Winner of 6 in Best of Three for WoV Chess Tournament Championship

Ohhh, if I win my game against ElectricDreams I may have a chance to play Wizard. :) :)
I would not like the semi-finals to be best of three.
Finals are okay imo to make best of three.

I concur
The semifinals are almost for sure to make my vote for what happens in the finals immaterial however

I am snowed under too--with work (midterms this week). So Thursday evening is the earliest I could play, but anytime from then through Sunday night, with the exception of Saturday after 5:00, would work.

Wizard posted that the Nightfly defeated Wizard, so I am to assume that Wizard beat AZDuffman.

Yes, Nightfly beat me. I never played AZDuffman.

Electric Dreams bowed out prior to the tournament. NightStalker should be your opponent.
Here is a link to the string where that happened.

Has nearly been 2 weeks since I PM'd NightStalker. No reply as yet.

It seems this tourney is dead. I'd say if Petro hasn't had a reply from NightStalker then Petro should win by default. That is, if anyone is still interested in moving forward.

I've been saving some comments for when the tourney is over for sure. A perspective on my games from what I guess is a modest intermediate level.

If anyone wants to still play I am up for it.
Perhaps we can skip right to the final game.
minnesotajoe would this be okay by you?
At least then we will have an outcome instead of leaving it dead.
