Round 2 of the

Zapper Memorial Chess Tournament

will start this week.

The King's Proclamation is read to all. Welcome all players. Be it known that this great Zapper Tournament is held in the honor of a very popular player of Net-Chess who passed away some 4 years ago.

The game proceeded with two important Noblemen making their moves on a small chessboard, and the Herald calling out each move so that the Living Pieces could follow suit. After roughly 20 moves, White, in stunning fashion, sacrificed his Queen to open up a lane for his rook! On the next move, the Wh...

After much anticipation and with great fanfare, the living Chess Pieces emerge from the mouth of the Castle gate and take to the Board!

Then commenced the pageantry of people dressed in period costumes who were doing a spectacularly choreographed dance of twirling Banners and the like! http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff517/lynxsoft/Zapper/ZapMem06.jpg http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff517/lynxsoft/Zapper/ZapMem07.jpg http://...

Every phase of the show was full of festivity and pageantry. Phalanxes of Halbardiers, Crossbowmen, and mounted Knights, were followed by Drummers, Standard Bearers and Falconers. And ever single person was in full costume and regalia... Even Biroggvy, Myaria and myself! http://i1239.photobucket.com...

An important Nobleman and his two daughters enter the townsquare to oversee the proceedings. And they were followed in by several noble families with their attendants.

After that stunning beginning there were several processionals of dancers, fire-breathers, jugglers, merchants and the like.

A loud commanding voice filled the night air with orders to the archers who were stationed up in the Castle's Tower, were given, 'Archers! Aim! Fire!' and a thousand fiery bolts flew down from the tower and set the chessboard ablaze! http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff517/lynxsoft/Zapper/ZapMem02...

This your UNBIASED Reporter here at the 2011 Zapper Tournament and I must admit that the Chess Festival last night was a sight to behold! I know that most everyone was there (or it was a well paid crowd)! For those couple unlucky Zapper Tournament players who missed it. I, Biroggvy - my equipment ma...

OK. Now let's wait for Round 1 to finish ...

ecperreault

I would vote for all games to start at the same time ... Makes the 'Reporting' a little easier and keeps the Scoreboard understood by all. Might get confusing if 3rd Round games were done before 2nd Round games. Might kill off interest, especially if one Team was to get a lot of quick points.
