Swiss Classical tournament #2 - Round 3 - Board 1: AlexTrick vs Ashiok
My best time would be 0:30-3:30+5:00-9:00 for workdays. However, I can try other times if needed
Ashiok:
> You are currently UTC+3? Do you mind playing in your morning on workdays.
Yes, I'm UTC+3. And what's your timezone? Is it Australia as displayed on the Lishogi profile, so is it UTC+10?
Generally, I can't do this on workdays in the morning, as I work on workdays, standard office work schedule from the morning.
My best fit is weekends. The ideal time for me is 15:00-18:00 UTC, but it goes too much off from your guessed timezone UTC+10, so it's anyways about compromises.
Please write your timezone and your ideal schedule ignoring my timezone, just to understand your most comfortable schedule, and then let's move to a more suitable for both of us time.
@Ashiok
UPD:
so, 0:30-3:30 UTC and 5:00-9:00 UTC it is.
Does this work for weekends as well?
Out of that time, I only can suggest you 9:00 UTC on weekends, still need to figure out which one of Saturday or Sunday.
And I would rather prefer it later, if possible. 10:00 UTC or 11:00 UTC is better for me.
I am now UTC+8, 15:00 definitely too late for me. 11:00 UTC seems possible, but my weekend is totally a disaster, depending much on real-life issues. I will try 11:00 this Saturday and confirm it later
@Ashiok I prefer Sunday, because I have a real life activities on Saturday too, and they are pretty hard (even impossible) to shift to other weekend day, so in case if playing on Saturday, I definitely will have to cancel those plans.
On Sunday I'm relatively much more free.
I can even try to do this on Sunday at 09:00 UTC despite I'm still more comfortable with 11:00 UTC.
Sunday okay either. 11:00 seems also more possible for me
@Ashiok OK, waiting for your final confirmation for Sunday 25th August at 11:00 to make it officially scheduled.
Or in case if that becomes impossible, I'm open to other options to schedule.
@AlexTrick It seems hard to have a full-two-hour for me on the weekend. Do you mind me occasionally disconnected (time counted in my reserve definetely)
If you only want two hours, 11:00 UTC Sunday seems working with some break. If you want more (typically three hours tend to make my game more excited), I can do it 14:00-17:30 or so, with a VPN shift in case of bad internet.
Given your difficulties in finding a suitable time for a 2 hour session, feel free to adjourn more than once, if that helps.
