Round 4 and some other news
Dear Colleagues!
Let me inform you that I've submitted our league information to Yury Neves and soon our tournament will be published at
This means that our teams will be known to a greater number of active chess.com players. I have great expectations in this connection.
Additionally, this site makes automatic adjustment for closed accounts and allows easily spotting people that play for multiple teams.
Then let me remind that it is high time to start matches
KARPOV FANS - SVETOZAR GLIGORIC and
JUDITH POLGAR - MAGNUS CARLSEN
I also should say that it is OK if some matches are started before the deadline, but there was a matchstarted a long time before the deadline and only on 6 boards. Probably is was a mistake. It cannot be a big deal to wait for some time and to find 4 more players.
It is probably necessary to define the limit in the match challlenge:
Starting Position: Standard
Days per move: 3
Rating range: Open
Minimum nb of players: 10
Concurrent games per opponent: 2
Auto Start: No
Rated: Yes
Finally I inform that round 4 of the Fan Clubs League is coming.
4th round pairings:
VLADIMIR KRAMNIK - MAGNUS CARLSEN
KARPOV FANS - LEVON ARONIAN
ALEKHINE'S CLUB - JUDITH POLGAR
MIKHAIL TAHL - CAPABLANCA CLUB
UTUT ADIANTO - VLADIMIR AKOPIAN
Svetozar Gligoric byes
