Title: WC round 6 game vs chessandgo
Post by 99of9 on Dec 23^rd, 2006, 4:53am

Unfortunately I've run into Christmas holiday season. My round 6 game is going to be very difficult to schedule, and if I survive, my round 7 game will also be troublesome.

Jean, in round 6, I will only be at home in the following time slots (with preferences in brackets):
25 (3)
26 (2)
27 (1.5)
28 (1)
29 (1)
30 (2)
31 (2.5)
32 (3)
33 (3)
34 (3)
35 (1)
36 (1)
37 (2)
38 (3)
if I need to be home for 25, 26, or 27, I'd like to know asap (I'm leaving before the scheduler will be run). How does all of this fit with you Jean?

For round 7, if I hypothetically manage to play round 6 and win, I will only be home for timeslots 40 and onward (but that includes 2 nights for me).

Jean and I have agreed in chat to plan for slots 29, 29.5, or 30, depending how early Jean's internet cafe opens in a town a bit away from his parent's place. When he finds out which of these slots is possible and best for him, Jean will post it for the spectators, and I'll find out on the night.

My thanks to Jean, who would have preferred the earlier half of the week, when he would not be away from home!

ok, it'll open at 9 am GMT, so if the game can begin at 9 am GMT on Friday (plus a few minutes), it would be great.

Thanks to you, Toby, I hope we'll have no problem.

Jean

Great, I'll open the game at timeslot 29, and wait until you arrive. Don't worry if you're late.

hmmm 9 am GMT is in the middle of 2 timeslots, no ? So I was proposing slot 29.5.
It should be 10 am my time and 8 pm your time, Toby, if I'm not mistaken.

Oh, sorry, I didn't see the "GMT" - I presumed you were quoting your timezone.

Yes, slot 29.5 sounds great. Omar - would you be able to organize that for us? Thanks a lot!
