I'm all for team matches

I have too many open games, and I am trying to get down to 5, to be able to focus on them... Good luck to you all though!

Ah well, we have a 400 point deficit on every board. Not ideal. I'm guessing Kacparov is actually our strongest player, and ought to have been board 1, but doesn't have the points yet.

Enjoy.

Hrmms I clicked without reading carefully enough :/

Is there a problem?

Yes our board order is wrong this time, and the teams are not well matched. I thought there might be an approval step before the match started, but apparently not.

I didn't realize how it worked. Who knows, I'd call my chances poor though :/

Mine too.

1. My game is actually looking decent atm, I'm ahead in material (ya tactics!) I'm no good at telling positions really so  not sure how conclusive it is atm.

But note there is a second game after the first finishes, with the opposite colours.

You don't have a mobile phone? You get 3 moves/day with a free account which is ample. If the phone supports midlets.

one game done!

Yeah we can't all beat players 300 points above us. :( Are you looking at the right game Kacparov, I don't recognise your analysis.
