So, here is the report on the Dnepr2010 tournament:)
I met the guests from Crimea — Javdet and Medium — at the station at 8 am and we headed to the club. Markon arrived at 7:40 and settled in on his own (as it later turned out :)).
By 9, Rebellious and Neo arrived, and by 10, Kostyan did. We waited and waited for Markon, and I started to worry if he had arrived at all. He did eventually arrive, appearing in person at 11:30; thank god everything was fine. He sat down to play with Volland, who had also just arrived, while the first six drew lots among themselves.
Round 1
1. Piterius (red swamp) def Rebellious (blue Castle), 8mm6a, 213, SOD
2. KoстяH (red Tower) def Javdet (blue, dungeon), sm-ka, 211, LIGHT
3. Neoandy (blue swamp) def Medium (red Castle), sm-ka, 141, LIGHT
4. Markon (blue, rampart) def Volland (red, swamp), 8mm6a, 144, LIGHT
As for my game — I had a magnificent layout. 5 angels on the second, I split the army, and on the third I controlled almost half the map, took 2 utopias on the KZ and a cap of fifths; then I spent my time chasing and catching Sandrow's bones.
The longest game was between Neo and Medium. Despite the early 141 turn, they only finished the next day near lunchtime!!! Terrible. Neo should not be allowed to play in "battle time doesn't pass" mode. In fact, I suggest that in Kyiv, the control on light be 4000+400, this will noticeably speed up the games!
Taking the wine-loser into account, they drew the 2nd round for their match and it turned out as follows:
Round 2
1. Markon (blue, Castle, Valeska) def Piterius (red, Barbarian, Crag), 8mm6, 146, LIGHT
2. Neoandy (red, swamp, Tazar) def КостяN (blue, Castle, Valeska) 2sm4d(3), fourth week
3. Javdet (blue, Castle, Valeska) vs Volland (red, Barbarian, Crag), 8mm6, LIGHT - game on save
4. Medium (blue, swamp, Tazar) def Rebellious, (red, Tower, Nela) 8mm6, 214, SOD
While Neo and Medium were finishing the first round, only 2 pairs could play the second — therefore, the idle Kostyan and Rebe formed a pair for the third round and started playing.
Regarding my game — I took two restarts and still got a terrible distribution. I barely managed to place the birds in the citadel; the computer was somewhere in a terrible, dark, hopeless corner. There wasn't a single bank throughout the entire game; 5 heroes on the first — I don't think I've ever seen that before. Apparently, Markon the winner has the karma. In general, suffering constant irreparable losses with my frail army on strong blocks and in struggles with computers, I left three throne cons unconquered because I had nothing left to take them with. As soon as Sergey's stats grew, I surrendered so as not to drag it out.
Volland was the first to leave. I don't know exactly why he made that decision, but he left in the middle of the day at the height of events; presumably, there were compelling reasons. In any case, thank you very much for participating! Therefore, his game with Javdet is on save.
Since Markon was waiting for the winner of the Neo-Kostyan match, Javdet and I sat down to play the third round so as not to waste time.
KostyaN was the second to leave at 7 pm. Credit to him for finding the time and being able to fully play 2 rounds. The neighbors looked at their layouts and unanimously gave the victory to Neo based on the layout, and Kostya left with 1 point out of two, but he probably still has a chance to make the top three.
The remaining six stayed until the very end.
Round 3
1. Markon (red, Castle, Valeska) vs Neo (blue, dungeon, Shakti) - save
2. Piterius (blue, swamp, Tazar) def Javdet (red, Castle, Valeska, Kyr), 8mm6a, LIGHT
3. rebellious (red, dungeon, miner) vs КостяN (blue, ramp, Kyr) - save
4. Medium vs Volland
The leaders' game didn't cause any hype or interest; the opponents joked that they would hold out and it would be a draw; they played practically under duress and under the threat of a mutual technical forfeit :D. When both ran out of restarts, they started taking restarts based on mutually unattractive respawns, etc. :D In the end, after 5 hours of play, they saved at midnight on 121 because Neo had to drive home, and Sergey was simply tired of the manic pace.
Around 11, Medium and Rebe finished their game (I think they will write about the details themselves), and they started watching the battle between Javdet and me, which was perhaps the most dramatic in the tournament. A detailed report on it later.
Rebe left at midnight, and at 2 am I walked the Simferopol residents to the station.
That's all. Overall, two days were certainly not enough; I was counting on three with a cultural program at the end of the tournament. There was so little left that, with a strong desire, everyone could have finished in half a Sunday. But life makes its own corrections, and it is what it is.
Markon proved to be the most prepared — he arrived expecting three days and today he was likely sightseeing local attractions :). Medium was also ready to stay, but unfortunately, there was no one left for him to play; the draw left no chance to prolong the pleasure.
Yes, on Friday evening we spent some time in a bar, drank beer, chatted and joked in a friendly atmosphere. But since everyone was catastrophically exhausted from the road and the game, we didn't stay long and went to catch up on sleep.
The preliminary tournament result is as follows:
1-2.Markon - 2(2)
1-2.Neo - 2(2)
3.Piterius - 2(3)
4.КостяN - 1(2)
5.Medium - 1(2)
6.Volland - 0(1)
7.Javdet - 0(2)
8.rebellious - 0(2)
