I think atilaven will win, unless I can somehow upset him in our head to head games.

Hello! I came up with a crazy idea. To make a Chess.com World Chess Championship! Maybe I'm a little bit bored at the moment, but still, what do you think? 

The championship would have 12 Online games (or 8), all games with a time control of 3 days/move. Only 1 game at once can be played.
In case of tied score there are 4 (or 2) games with 2 days/move. If still tied, then only 1 game with a time control 1 day/move. If draw, black wins.

I declare myself as the first candidate (we must start from somewhere).  If there's the second candidate, let me know (it would be great if he is from 1700 to 2150).

Championship?  AWESOME!  Formet you suggest?  Not so much, needs some work but a good idea!

OK, half of a match is over. I have a comfortable lead (4-2), but I expect a comeback from Maarten. Huh, don't know why, but intuition.

Only Mainline_Novelty has a good chances to overtake atilaven. There's a very nice game, don't miss it!

Yeah. Damn, 10th game is again unknown position for me. It's a Najdorf with c-pawn and without e-pawn. Laughing

I was going to say it looked vaguely familiar to Kasparov Topalov 1999
