November 2006

Another month has gone by and another group of playChess notables step into the foreground for recognition. hal1958 is still working on tournament win 100, and the founder, Sixty4, has become active on the rankings list and joins the group who have been here the longest. A note of clarification: you may think people are missing from this list. They may be, because I begin from the rankings list. The criterion which causes people to jump on and off the list is "they finished one or more rated games of that league within the last three months". So people are constantly coming and going.

September 2006 - Spotlight on Class B

In this entry, I single out the Class B players and note their accomplishments. Of course, you move in and out of classes, so this is just a snapshot in time. No one is a B forever. All of these data were collected at the end of September.

Longevity

We have already noted lostpawn2000, who joined on 2000.06.30, and  mrchess, shortly after on 2000.07.10). Other current B's with long track records here are

  •  Pineywoods  (Joined 2001.02.18), 
  •  Zembla  (Joined 2001.03.05), 
  •  kali  (Joined 2001.04.05).

Anniversaries

There are no class distinctions in noting Anniversaries, so there is no additional information here for Class B. But I failed to mention on the previous post that foinaven's anniversary is not really a "one year" anniversary. Under the name peakbagger, he gave us five years of distinguished play. He was, and is, a top citizen of playChess.de.
Curious about the name, foinaven? It's a mountain in the north-west corner of Scotland. Do you think he really bagged that peak? More information here.

Games Played

These Class B players are at the top of list in games played. (Already noted in the general blog is mrchess with 2,661 games.

Tournament Wins

These players have the most tournament wins: 

Game Wins

Here are the B's who have the most game wins, excepting the already noted mrchess with his astounding 1,038 wins:
