05-18/11:06 Hagbard: There are two Brandubhs on the games list:
Brandubh Walker, balance +1.15 from 424 games.
Brandubh 2, balance +1.51 from 1966 games.
(besides these there've been versions with balances +1.74 and +1.60).
It could look like Brandubh Walker could be a good choice?
And a tournament could start June 1st?
Since we are few, it could be just a normal tournament, but the winner is Brandubh Master 2025.

05-18/08:33 gulo: @Dimetr, isn't Walker's brandub more balanced though? Is there some other reason to prefer brandub 2?

05-18/02:24 Zubin: Would any good player be willing to teach me some strategy for Copenhagen 11x11? I am around 1300 now. I am good at chess (~1800 FIDE, 2200 lichess) but not good at tafl yet. Willing to pay for lessons. My email is zubin6174 [at] gmail.com

05-17/22:03 Dimetr: Irish Brandubh 2 - classic version, is the best

05-17/20:13 Hagbard: Well, when could it be, and which variant?

05-17/14:33 Dimetr: Draganov, Hagbard, Hello!
let's actually play Brandub! i'm in

05-16/16:25 Draganov: @Hagbard, it is just based on the rating list. We can't predict how a real tournament will go since we don't know the motivation, focus and devotion of the players in the certain moment. We also can't predict their personal issues in the moment of the championship.

05-16/12:46 Hagbard: Separate Ratings shows that a 7x7 tournament would give this result:
1. Corinthian
2. Alex hnefatafl
3. Irish raven
4. Plantagenet
5. Draganov
6. Colophonius
7. Jilles

05-14/17:06 Draganov: We can use different variants for each round (Brandubh, Walker and Ard Ri) which are with good balance. Or just have one big Brandubh double round-robin tournament (each player playing 4 games against each of the other players). I am just giving some ideas here and will be glad to see the opinion of the most active Brandubh players. The Brandubh champion could be declared as a Brandubh master or something like that and not a world champion as it was the situation with Sea Battle masters.
