I've been waiting for my opponent to play their previous round. If I should start to schedule without that match played please let me know.

Unfortunately, @FangCheng has been inactive for more than two weeks. I will wait two more days, until Wednesday; otherwise, I will have to call a forfeit in their Round 6 match against @fish224.

Despite not being able to play yet, I ask @fish224 to post here the Box to be played against them (round 6).

Regarding the last round (Round 7):

@Caliman vs. @Jheps: Ready to schedule the match.
@FangCheng vs. @statmatt: Let’s wait to see if FangCheng comes back.
@Checkmatealot vs. @fish224: After fish224 publishes the Box chosen for Round 6, the match can be scheduled.
@vincent vs. @oruro: Already played.

Deadline: Sunday, february 1st

@Caliman and I plan to play Thursday 5pm UTC

Unfortunately, @FangCheng has been offline for an extended period, affecting the tournament. Therefore, despite this being far from an ideal situation, a forfeit has been called in their match against @fish224 in order to be able to finish the tournament.

Thanks to all the players who took part in the 3rd edition of the PlayStrategy Cup. I hope you all had fun, and I invite you to share any comments or feedback related to the tournament so that the next edition can be even better.

For the 4th edition, planned for the second part of 2026, I am considering increasing the time control to 10+5 and reducing the Chess and Draughts boxes from 3 to 2.
