Forum to find peers for practice classical chess outside official tournaments

Avatar of fhunfi

Dear 90m+30s members,

This forum is not tournament page and has nothing do with our current running Swiss.

It’s simply an opportunity for you to practice and enjoy serious chess games, outside the official Swiss tourneys.


How to use it?

* You can please post a message in this forum page with your classical rating (Rapid Rating in chess com) and the desired rating frame of your opponent.

You will also post/ indicate time frame (your availability in weekdays & weekend in UTC/ EDT) for your games.


* You can also simply wait for someone else to open a challenge and select the one you like best.


*Arrange a time for the games with your opponent once the challenge is accepted.


* You will play 2 games with either color with your challenger. 
The lower rated is white in the first game.


* Time control: you can discuss with your opponent what fit best for you both.
Best is 90m+30s, but it's still ok if you agreed on 60m+30s or minimum 45m+45s


* Rated game is preferable, unless both of you agreed to play Casual (Unrated)


* Please post the results of the games and the whole match for the record.
You can also post a comment and share an interesting game.


Have fun!

Sincerely, 
Chien

I’m 2280 in rapid at the moment, and I’m looking for 2100+ players to play classical with on a semi-regular basis. I’m in Mountain Daylight Time and my schedule is pretty flexible

I’m also open to different classical time controls, though 90+30 can be a bit long online

I would be interested in something like a 60+30 game

I would be happy to play some casual training games with anyone above the rating of 1800; My schedule is relatively open, so message me if you would like a game or two.

My current rapid rating is 2326, and my time zone is CDT (UTC -5).

Possibly interested in playing games with anyone 2000+ (unrated 45|45 perhaps?) don't think I can do 90|30 though. US Central time

I am open to any time format of games ( 90/30 60/30 30/30 45/45) and I would prefer players with rating between 1100-1300

My time zone in UTC is UTC+3

Hey there!

Currently my Rapid rating is 1762 and I can mainly play 45+45 or 30+30 games and I can consider playing 60+ games when time permits. I would like to play with anyone above the rating 1700+. My time zone is UTC +5.30.

Cheers!

Just a question, i'm 857 rating rapid, i'm trying to improve to reach the first milestone of 1000 elo, but i'm stuck a little bit. I'm available to play rated/unrated games, doesn't matter, the idea i've is to use this chance (thanks Chien) to play with someone with highest rating than me and analyze the games together, sharing ideas, plans and mistakes, maybe with a call via Discord. Could be possible?

Hi. I have joined the club today. Thank You for accepting me as a member.

Thanks again for posting on chess.com forum where I got to know about this club. I am rated around 1400 in Rapid & have always played 10 min games only. Now, I want to really focus on reducing blunders & develop my thinking ability in Chess.

Hence, looking for non-rated longer time control (45 mins+45 sec) games with players upto 1500 rating. I am available on Sat & Sun to play the games. I am based out of Mumbai, India.

Hello everyone! My rating is currently 529 in rapid, so I'm just starting out, but I'm really eager to learn and play with anyone in this club. My schedule is a bit random right now, but I'm especially free on weekends and always up for a game. Looking forward to having fun and improving together!
