Everyone's matches are now more or less underway. 

I'm facing a strange sicilian variation in my opener (1. e4 c5  2. Nf3 a6). I've seen it once before, but I was really surprised to see someone play it here. Should be fun.

Good luck in your matches. If you want to give an update of how things are going, post here.

Hey, Phil. I'm playing against the same strange sicilian.  Wonder if the other team had a plan.  I have no idea how to play against it.  It's Game Explorer for me.

Yeah. I don't know how much I should say about it? Im pretty sure we prefer to move the c pawn next instead of d4. After that, it's just about logical plays I think.

yea guys be very carefull on this subject. It's good mentioning about the strange type of play. But Don't go suggesting the next best moves as that leads to outside assistance, which is considered cheating on chess.com. 

 

Just like in the real it is an individual game, but it will be the best teams combined individual boards that wins the "match" making it a group effort :).

Yes, Nebri is correct. We can debrief actual games only once they're complete. No move suggestions allowed.
