In addition to World League 2012, we're also playing in European League 2012 (Division 4). I haven't managed to find any Team Estonia results for last year (2011), so I'm not sure how we did last year. Did we even participate? In 2012, we will play four matches, and the match against Team Cyprus is the first. It's still open for registration if you haven't registered: http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match.html?id=110075 There's more information here if you're interested: http://www.chess.com/groups/forumview/el2012---division-4 Here is the rough match schedule: R1 – February / R4 - AugustR2 – April / R5 – SeptemberR3 - June SUB-DIVISION 4A R1 Team Lithuania - Team Schweiz-Suisse-Svizzeria N R1 Team Cyprus - Team Estonia N R2 Team Lithuania - Team Estonia R2 Team Kosovo - Team Schweiz-Suisse-Svizzeria R3 Team Lithuania - Team Kosovo R3 Team Cyprus - Team Schweiz-Suisse-Svizzeria R4 Team Cyprus - Team Kosovo R4 Team Estonia - Team Schweiz-Suisse-Svizzeria R5 Team Lithuania - Team Cyprus R5 Team Kosovo - Team Estonia

I have good news: Team Estonia just got its first real victory in Vote Chess! VC World Cup 2013 Stage 1: Team Estonia vs. Chess Team Holland - Finished - Team Vote Chess (1-0) Congratulations everyone and thanks for all the hard work. This will give us a little room to concentrate on our other games. We still have two VC World Cup 2013 games underway: http://www.chess.com/votechess/game.html?id=23895 http://www.chess.com/votechess/game.html?id=23939 Cheers, Gary
Hey Everybody -- I think it is time for another discussion about vote chess. The good news: We haven't lost any of our "Vote Chess World Cup" games yet. You can see the games here: http://www.chess.com/votechess/game.html?id=23893 http://www.chess.com/votechess/game.html?id=23895 http://www.chess.com/votechess/game.html?id=23939 More good news: The admins for 3 of the 5 teams in our group did a horrible job and lost many games by default (Hungarian Chess Group, Chess Team Holland, Team MonteNegro). So we could potentially advance by only winning one game and drawing one game. Here are the current standings: Group F (4 games per team)Team Estonia = 1/1Team Ireland = 1/1Hungarian Chess Group = 0/2Chess Team Holland = 0/2Team MonteNegro = 0/4 The bad news: We are severely outmanned by the other teams. There have been many moves where only 1 player has voted! Often it has been me, but I just traveled to the USA for 2 weeks and also missed some moves. Thanks especially to lavrentius and Drikhen for keeping things going! The opposing teams each have 20/25 or more players and we only have about 7 or 8 players. We also got off to a bad start when MikaSinia joined our team. If you remember, he joined CHESS.COM just before the start of the World Cup and then immediately began offering much advice on the direction of our games. Unfortunately, he disappeared after only a few moves and now his account was closed. I had a bad feeling about him from the start and should have immediately deleted him from the team, but that's not my style. Here's a few more recommendations on best practice: Don't vote RESIGN until at least move 40. Honestly, if you want to resign, just leave (or ignore) the game. The other players can continue without you. There's no reason to discourage them unnecessarily. Strong players (e.g. > 2000): If you don't have a lot of time, please make your move and ALSO POST IT in the comments. We (the other players) trust you and want you to lead the game. However, we don't have your experience and skills, so if you make your move without posting it, there's a chance we will outvote you with a weaker move. Strong players (e.g. > 2000): Please don't abandon us if you start down an unusual line. We might not have the necessary skills to continue on our own where you lead us. Weaker players (e.g. < 1400): We're happy to have you with us but make sure you're not trying to lead the team. Don't ever make a move that hasn't been discussed by the other players. In general, we need more discussion and more analysis. If you have time, look at the archive for this game we lost recently (http://www.chess.com/votechess/game.html?id=23581). Now that the game is over, you can also view the discussion by the opposing team, and it is clear how they beat us: By discussing and analyzing the positions as a team. Overall, I think we have a chance to win/draw at least one game if we apply ourselves. Let's work together towards victory (and not leave the fate of Team Estonia to just one American ). Please post comments below if you have any more ideas. Cheers and stay warm! Gary (garbo999)

Ma lihtsalt UUS ja tahaks mängida mängu kellegi vastu, vaid eelistavad kirjavahetus malet. Kuidas ma saan teha, sest ma olen proovinud, aga ma ei tea, kuidas teisendada? Nagu mõned aidata.

Tere sõbrad, Kunenn me järgmise meeskonna mängu pikemat aega teha. Ma ei ole tegelikult väga kiire ja malet mängima paremat näidet 10 päeva või 14 päeva jooksul. Ja ma olen kogemata registreeritud meeskond mängu vastu Guatemala. Kas üksmeeskonna juhtide saab eemaldada mind mängu? Mika Sinia

Hi Everybody, I've participated in some of the World League 2011 matches, but I wasn't aware of the overall standings until today when I did a Google search and found this: http://www.chess.com/groups/forumview/wl-2011-division-e We have two matches left to complete (Georgia and Uruguay). Our results so far are a bit mediocre, but I think we have a good chance to win our last two matches. Let's finish with a bang! Cheers, garbo999
