Dear all, I'd like to remind you that today is the deadline to issue the challenges for ROUND 1 - 1. I am glad to see that most of you have already done that (some of you have already started those matches and even accepted further challenges what is really good if we want to speed up the league and start ROUND 2 sooner) I have only 3 challenges unconfirmed by now: TMC-ROUND 1: D` CHESSBOMB vs Teens of Chess.com D'CHESSBOMB please you have to issue the challenge today! or report any incidences you have... These other 2 I have no confirmation about they have been issued or not: TMC-ROUND 1: King's Gambit Players vs The Raven Clan(-Jokers-) TMC-ROUND 1: Ravster's Chessmates vs Venom Chess Group To King's Gambit Players and Ravster's Chessmates please post links to your matches on your respective division forums... thanks! (otherwise, I won't be able to track them) Finally, I would like to thank you all for your active support and cooperation. I am gladly surprised with how good things are going so far (if I compare with the beginnings of the TML, the TMC is running really smoothly and effectively) Please keep this up! :) Good luck to you and your respective group (-s) Best Regards, Manuel F (kokino)
