Sorry, but the link to the team match of Round 2 between Team England and Team Russia is broken. The correct link is http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match.html?id=31715

According to the Rules we are playing a WL match and will not setup a separate EL match.

@Eugen, I foresee a pairing with Team Spain and Team Russia in the World League Round 4. So my question is, do you want to use our current EL match to cover that one too? (that way we will avoid duplicating 2 matches in less than a month)

Please let me know asap. Thanks!!

Round 2a

Team Bosnia-Herzegovina - Team Romania started

Thank you for your suggestion, Kokino. We will discuss it in team Russia and give the answer today.

Kokino, we agree to play one match in EL http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match.html?id=32479 to cover our possible match in WL R4. Avoiding duplicating 2 matches is a good idea.

Please confirm that this is your final decision and we will consider this as our mutual agreement.

As exposed on my PM, we also agree with that decision. Therefore, we will play just one match. Thanks!

EL2010 R2: Team Spain vs Team Russia - Started: 172 pairs. :) not bad... probably is the record for this tournament.

EL2010 R2b: Team Spain vs Team Germany - Started: 82 pairs.

Nice. Good Luck to all teams and players!

(However, Team England vs Team Russia is the largest ongoing game for the very moment. 232 pairs are playing. Here's the link: http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match.html?id=31715 )

I thought it was only for the WL but I see that one was for EL too. :)
