Your scores must be reported by April 17, 2009 (this applies to any timezone, because I will be checking the scores on Sunday)
Update- You and your opponent will play two games. After you have completed both games, report the score on this topic. When you log on to Live Chess, you will choose the random option for choosing Black or White.

Good luck!

What time controls should we use? Ten minutes each?

yes, 10 0 (blitz)
and you should schedule your match with your opponent ahead of time

if you go to the original topic, you can find the profile links above each player, and then you can message them from there
