Added jato's username to the list, and edited to include Aventador. The four first round games start whenever you guys want them to. Have at it!

If any of you guys want a bit of feedback on your game, style, etc., (like Zab's first game 31. ... Qf2#) then ask.
Also, if this isn't allowed during the competition then wait until after!

Actually, I was down to my king and 1 pawn, and my king got 4 kills, (3 pawns and a rook) and evaded 3 queens until stalemate!
my king =

Feedback I don't mind, just don't coach them extensively
I looked at my second game with Clank and realized I missed checkmate on move 3...so I was feeling pretty dumb.

I am hoping me and Yoshimatsu can find some time online in common, because I hate correspondence games.

I think I'll keep it up as much as I can today in case he shows up and we can make moves a bit quicker at least. Don't mind unlimited time in a live game, but still prefer it live. Correspondence just feels like playing JKA on 56K.

Someone needs to study endgame if they can't get a checkmate with not 1 queen...not 2 queens....but 3 queens on the board.

Jus' sayin'.
btw, the real easy way to win would have been once you had 2 queens you could have just blockaded with 59. Qe4 and then marched the king up the board with your 2 queens like rooks.
