Team Match Championships Round 1/ Free Iran

Our match against Free Iran, and with it Round 1 of the Team Match Championships has begun.  We are slightly out rated over the 19 boards, but only by a bit.  If we play our best chess I think that we can beat what looks like the strongest team in group E.  Regardless, a first or second place finish in group E allows us to advance to the second round which will begin in mid October.

Also, for everyone's information, our second Round 1 opponent, The Ancient Days, has asked for a few more days to get their team together, so hopefully that match will start mid-week.
