Silicon Valley Chess Academy — May :Friday - Rampant Rooks (1200 - 1499) (4 Classes)

I was distracted by the cookies!

I fear it all ends today.

Nah. I’ve been hoping to make it to the final four for years. It’s going to get dragged out or you’ll wipe the floor with me.

(Apologies for the late post today - some outside items threw a wrinkle in today’s schedule, but we’re back now, and that’s all that matters! :slight_smile: ).

We’ve got quite the set up match-ups going on here in the Elite Eight. We’ve got two matches that are engaged in tight back-and-forth games, and we’ve got a third match that appears stuck! That’s right - after 5 throws, we still don’t have a winner in Game 2! Methinks that Ezekial_Cumberland saw this coming:

… so we’ll see who blinks first this time around!

And last, but certainly not least, we have our :oh_noes: match. JFG is up 3-1 on OldTimer. OldTimer sent the :broom: packing last game - did OldTimer live to see another day?

Well, OldTimer, your fears are…

… unwarranted - OldTimer survives yet again! :astonished:

Barring any (more) surprises, we should (hopefully) have two updates tomorrow, so keep checking in and sending those throws!! :+1:

Just because you believe something, it doesn’t make it true.

Well, our two back-and-forth matches continue to back and/or forth, our stuck match is doubly-stuck now (we’re tied after 5 throws and we’re waiting for a second set of throws), so no fancy icons to update any of those matches with yet.

But there will be an update on our final match! In our last update JFG was up 3-2 on OldTimer, hence
:oh_noes:
That icon is about to change, though… will it be a
:skull_and_crossbones:
with JFG advancing to the Final Four, or will we have
:popcorn:
with a Winner-Take-All Game 7 for a seat in the Final Four? :astonished:

:DramaticMusic:

:DramaticPauseintheDramaticMusic:

:DramaticPauseMorphingIntoAwkwardPause:

Well, it took three throws…

… and now we’ve got us a Game 7, folks!!!
:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

… so please stay tuned and keep sending in those throws! :+1:

Fortunately I’m used to being disappointed.

I on the other paw, am not. I’ll take care of that puppy kickin’ worm lovin’ SOB, and you knock out that OldTimer, and we’ll meet for belly scratches and throw ball in the middle. :dog:

Well it’s been exciting, at least. I get an extra game out of it too. Up to my 20th game out of a possible 21. My arm is getting tired of holding up my hand.
