Team Matches: Our Progress

At the beginning of this month our first team match finished. We started it in September when there were only three of us: Dmitry, Masha and me. The match was tough, but it seems we wanted the win more than our opponents who lost half of their games on time: https://www.chess.com/club/matches/nabokovs-dozen/712060

In November we started our second team match and fielded the squad of 10 players. Unfortunately we are losing it. In the remaining 7 games we should score 5 points to draw the match which is very unlikely: https://www.chess.com/club/matches/nabokovs-dozen/729894

This month we started our biggest team match so far. 15 people participate in it and we have higher rated players at 14 boards out of 15. So our chances look good. Special thanks to ElFeroz05 and Qwestor11, they are fabulous players and can beat almost every opponent at the first two boards: https://www.chess.com/club/matches/nabokovs-dozen/738284
