ArtK78 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I am getting concerned over the timing of my KO match with Broze. Immediately after the QF KO matches were set, I challenged Broze and played my first set. 3 days later, about 10 hours before the challenge would have expired, I pm'ed Broze to remind him to play the match. Broze played the first set a few hours before the challenge would have expired. Broze immediately challenged me for the second set. I played the second set within a few hours. It is now 3 days later, The challenge is going to expire within a few hours and Broze has yet to play the second set. I don't see any reason to pm him to remind him to play the match, because HE CHALLENGED ME. Overall, it is now 6 days into the second KO round and our second set is not completed. If we were using a chess clock, I would have used about 5 hours while Broze has used 6 days. I realize that others are no further along, but that is not the point.

ArtK78 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 ArtK78 over Broze 9.5 - 6.5 http://webutil.bridg...864805&u=artk78 It appears that Broze completed only 8 of the 16 boards before time ran out on the challenge. The score on each of the 8 unplayed boards was 50%. Should the last 8 boards be replayed or does this score stand? EDIT: On the 8 boards that were played, the score was 5.5 - 2.5.

broze Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 the brozes style. if he cant win he try spending time.4th times at chellenges as i see. Firstly, shuba, I have never let a challenge expire against you (whether accepted or not) so I have no idea what you are talking about. Art, I simply couldn't find the time on this one I'm afraid - the boards I did play I played on my phone while travelling (and played very badly). I have a lot on at work and other commitments (which I did not forsee at the outset of the event) and I am going to continue to struggle to find time this week. Having read your post above I think it is better therefore if I concede the match. You have outplayed me so far in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, I issued a challenge for the 3rd set of 16 boards and I will play them. If you can play them, we can continue. We can also play the 8 boards you missed after the fourth set of 16 boards.

Okay, hopefully I will get a chance to play one set on Thursday and the remaining boards on Sunday. If the other matches finish before this then I am happy to stick with the concession.

ArtK78 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Broze over ArtK78 9-7 http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:57bd9783.fb01.11e7.9789.0cc47a39aeb4-1516136884&u=ArtK78 This is the third set of 16 boards. As noted earlier, the second set of 16 boards was scored 9.5-6.5 in my favor, but Broze did not actually play the last 8 boards, which were all scored as pushes. After we complete the 4th set of 16 boards we will go back and play the last 8 boards from the second set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszes Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 JEC matches (most saturdays around 2pm eastern time) are a great way to practice against some of the strongest player sin the WORLD. Hopefully we will all see that maybe playing with some of your challenge opps might not be such a horrendous experience. Make some time some saturday and maybe play with a strange partner you might be surprised how well it can go:) At the very least they will WILL BID AND DEFEND wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than these nutty robots.

ArtK78 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 ArtK78 over Broze 10-6 http://webutil.bridg...396967&u=ArtK78 This is set 4 of 4. There are 8 unplayed boards in set 2 of 4. I will now challenge Broze to play the last 8 boards in set 2. However, it is academic. The score in the first 8 boards of set 2 was 5.5 - 2.5 with me in the lead. So I now lead Broze by 9 boards with 8 to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
