The Unsound Openers want to play a VC games with the Black pieces, against a club opening with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3. 1 move per 3 days. Any takers?

We always play openings the engine disapproves, so you'll have good winning chances.

Hi, we always enjoy playing (Italian Chess School) but at the moment we have too many matches started and I see a certain shortage of players. So it's better if you find others available

Anyone up for an Indian Game? 1.d4 Nf6, we play White and you play Black?

Well on Strictly Bible we've tried three times to have a Standard 7-day game of vote chess with the open seek system; and your opponent timed out in the first 1-2 moves each time.

(For some reason we haven't had this problem with Fischer Random or custom postions, I dunno why Standard times out so much).

I'm wondering if asking here might work better.

This is really becoming a problem in Vote Chess. Open seeks are taken by clubs that time out before the game even gets started.

I forgot to mention, we have arranged the vote chess game now with the Diamonds club. Based on their history they won't time out - I hope.

Chess.com vs. ChessKid would like to start some speed matches vs. an active club.

First: We should request a feature to display the timeout percentage of a club in VC games. Or can we already see that somewhere?

Second: We're usually happy to take on some challenges with either color. As long as it's 3-day games and you don't mind encountering some dodgy lines in the opening.

Frequent timeouts are only one of many issues plaguing vote chess. There are numerous fixes that would help, but the website has never shown much interest in improving vote chess. So don't count on it.

Anyone up for a VC game? As open seeks tend to attract clubs that time-out, I prefer finding an opponent here.

3-day game please where we play White and you play Black. Just challenge The Unsound Openers.

Thanks already!

48 Hour 960, anyone?

We'd love to find a club willing to play the White side of the Italian Petrov (1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3.Nf3 or 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3.Bc4) but we might accept playing something else if we can't find a taker.

Alternatively: Any club up for a game with the Black side of the French Defense?

I have a team for that!

Challenge us with the standard French Defense position, us as black and I accept it.

Anyone interested in a thematic 3-day VC game? We're quite flexible on the color and the opening, but we'd like to start from a pre-decided opening if possible.

Send a challenge to the Intellectual Chess Players... 3 days per move, random colors.

The Intellectual Chess Players are looking for a new game or two. Random colors, standard chess, any size club, either 2 days per move or 3 days per move.
