Group Protest

To Chess.com staff or whoever it may concerns:

hello,

We are a small group using ''Scotch Gambit'' opening as our theme opening in all of our group matches (http://www.chess.com/groups/home/scotch-gambiteers).

However, our theme opening Scoth Gambit (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Bc4) has been removed from the standard starting position several weeks ago. Since then our group is halted because we can not make any new team matches. Although I tried to report this to Chess.com technical section and posted a forum topic here (http://www.chess.com/forum/view/suggestions/standard-starting-position-in-a-new-gamematch), we didnt get any positive answer from anyone, nobody cares about this.

Now, on the behalf of all of our group members, once again I kindly ask Chess.com:

1. Please put back our theme opening to the standard starting position.

2. DON'T IGNORE US, we need a clear answer for this.

3. Is it soooooo difficult thing for Chess.com technicians to put it back? it was there before, why this and some other opening positions had been removed?

Looking forward comments/answers from Chess.com

best regards

Scotch Gambiteers' SA, nikre

Well, I'm not in your group, but I'd like to join you protest....

Give back the Cunningham defense in the KGA too!

thank you!

Staff needs to respond to this

Booooo! down with the Cunningham!

You would say that, I recall a 10 move miniature......

I'll take that game to my grave.

p.s. On reflection, I haven't followed Chess.com's hallowed traditions, when a loss is mentioned in the forums. Take your pick:

"It wasn't me! my little brother used my account!"

"It was late, I'd been drinking, and taken my sleeping pills. I played that game just before the ambulance arrived"

"Yeah, I just wanted to see, if you would make the right moves"

"I never played the last move! give me back my points!"

Although I'm supposed to be off today, I'll see what I can do or at least find out for you why they were removed

thanks kohai, much appreciated.

thanks my friend, sebastian

awesome! finally got staff on the case.

I also miss all my favourite lines.

thanks for supporting, my friends

it sucks much less than you!

if you dont have anything else to do, please find fun somewhere else, get out of here.

This is not a playground for you. We are serious if you are not supporting please leave this page....

Ok,I apologize.Sorry for that

No problem thanks
