Galactic Empire

- Wait until challenged

none of those three

Some of my groups participate in vote chess tournaments through the Vote Chess League, World Cup, etc., so we sign up when the events start, and then follow the schedule.  We receive a fair number of one-off challenges, but we try to keep our game load down to a reasonable number.  I've sent out open seeks once or twice, but sometimes our opponent would end up timing out, so I prefer to choose what teams to play against.  I look at Daws74's Vote Chess Elo Rankings, and also read through the Archives of a team's recent vote chess games looking for teams that have intelligent discussions.  For thematic games, I use the lists found in the Thematic Vote Chess group on which groups accept the most thematic challenges.

Some of my groups belong to a number of different Vote chess tournaments.  The Vote Chess World Cup, Vote Chess League Tournaments, Tegirmon Vote Cup, Swiss Open Vote Chess.  I send, and, receive challenges.  That's the easy part.   

- Start VC games on a regular basis
- Wait until challenged

also, we play in vote chess tournaments

Group name: The Killer Derivatives

The groups I manage are primarily study groups, each dedicated to a specific opening. The goal is to have one move per day for the team to consider. For groups using 2 dpm that results in 4 games running concurrently. At 3 dpm that's 6 games.

Mostly we rely on open seeks. If an opponent doesn't have enough members or shows a high likelihood of timing out, we abort and try again.

A couple of the groups also participate in tournaments such as the WCoCO.

We accept challenges as long as we can play our opening.

ICL = ?

ahhh thanks
