Round 2 will be due Sunday 7/20/08.
Round 3 will be due Sunday 7/27/08.

White or Black?
To decide which player plays as which color, compare your previous games.

If one player has played as white less often, that player should play as white for your current game.
If both players have played as white the exact same number of times, then the player who has played black most recently should play white for your current game.
If both players have played as white the exact same number of times AND both players both have played as black the same number of games back, then the top player in the bracket will be white.

Current Bracket:

Matt PMed me the other day, saying that he won his game against diddin. We want to play against each other as soon as possible, so how are we going to decide who is white and black for the second and the following rounds?

In the second round, I won Matt. It was a good game, lot of pieces were traded off quickly, turning it in a pawn and king vs. pawn and king ending. It could have gone either way, but then Matt let me slip (accidently, I think) one of my pawns out of his reach, letting me queen it. He came close to making one himself, but then I mated him when he had his passed pawn of the last rank before getting it promoted. As I said before, Matt, good game. It was a well fought, although a bit short, match. Anytime you want to play me again, let me know.
