As the new admin to this fantastic group, perhaps I should express my views on chess as a team game. Sure it is plays one individual against another, but I have for many years played in many teams in over-the-board matches, and I would love to to develop the same bond in October which is found in leagues all over the world .
Indeed even travelling to and fro from away matches created a great atmosphere, and we discussed both our triumphs, and disasters !!! in equal measure. Indeed studying a team mates game and following it's progress after, and sometimes during one's own game was great fun willing the team mate on to glory, indeed when the results went "our" way and the match victory was secured was a thrill in it'self. It made for a great atmosphere in the car journey home !!
Vote chess I think is similar, although this is new to me, I'm fascinated to read the comments of the "senior" player, as the realisation, of " I never saw that" dawns on one !!
I do hope lots of members get involved in vote, chess, and team games, and know many already do . But we can't have enough names for either,.
