I'm glad you enjoyed the tournament. Seems like internet tournaments usually have a lot more byes, so you're lucky you had most of your opponents present.

Good luck in this and future tournaments!

Oops! I totally forgot about the iron man tournament .

Ah well, I've played enough of them over the last few years to know that missing one is probably a good thing for the sake of sleep and sanity .

Have fun!

Hello everybody,

I am quite new here and on KGS, where can I find more info concerning this IronMan - and the next?

Kind regards,

Yunzi

where can I find more info concerning this IronMan

Find myself asking the same question. Its surprising how little there seems to be about the tournament, the creation of it, its history ect. Maybe I'm just not finding it, but I didn't see much of anything about it even on SL. Anyway, as a fan of endurance sports I was immediately taken with the idea when I found out about it. Its great that the tournament has been going on so long!

Congratulations to Koffein KGS's newest Iron Man (he played all 20 rounds)! Thankful I got to watch several of his games. Here is his second win over Syptryn

Eh, both of those players kind of irked me with what they were saying during their games. Perhaps it's just me, but Syptryn seemed rather disrespectful to his opponents. But again, that's just my opinion.

Well, I felt there was a bit of testosterone inspired gamesmanship going on perhaps (maybe also inspired by a lack of sleep) but all in all, having been there for many rounds as well as to read the chat and banter before the rounds I could sense the respect the top players had for one another. Much of the humor had a distinctly western flavor to it (what ever that means) and I can see how it could easily be misinterpreted. I think its also important to consider that we don't know all (if any) of the history that these players share. Taken out of context I could see myself being put off by some of the text I saw, but this was tempered in the measure of the whole of the interactions that I saw. In any case, even if I am totally off base here, I still thinks its better to give the benefit of the doubt. Consider the alternative. The number of times I've nearly allowed myself to be offended by the words or actions of another, yet paused to see, have given me enough pleasant surprises to feel the wisdom in it.
