Mid-week sparring match 30m+30s. Wed, Feb 22nd, 17:00 EST / 22:00 UTC

Hi everyone,

Time control: 30m+30s (Rated), and you will play 1 game only.

Played on: Wed, Feb 22nd, 17:00 EST / 22:00 UTC

You will register by writing down in comment section: Your chess.com nick, your current Rapid Rating when registered.

NOTE: 
- Registration will be closed on Wed, Feb 22nd, 16:50 EST / 21:50 UTC (10 minutes before starting time).
- In order to make sure that everyone attends their game, please be online on chess.com at 16:50 EST/ 21:50 UTC -- I will only pair registered players who are online @16:50 EST / 21:50 UTC

- I will then post the pairings in this comment section around @16:55 EST/ 21:55 UTC

I will list the players from highest rating to lowest rating.

For example: if there are 6 players 

Player#1 (highest rating)
Player#2 (2nd rank)
Player#3 (3rd rank)
Player#4 (4th rank)
Player#5 (5th rank)
Player#6 (6th rank)

Then I will set the pairing as follow:

Player#1 (White) vs Player#2 (Black) or Player#2 (White) vs Player#1 (Black).
Player#3 (White) vs Player#4 (Black) or Player#4 (White) vs Player#3 (Black).
Player#5 (White) vs Player#6 (Black) or Player#6 (White) vs Player#5 (Black).
.. and so on

This way, the 2 players with closest rating with play each other.

Please register early if you are interested.
