@ dermi (post #9), Some of the problems that come to mind: 1. We have to wait for several years, 2. During that time we are still playing weakened teams in the leagues, 3. There is no guarantee that one team will emerge after few years (for e.g. there could be two strong teams), 4. We rather play some other teams as one team instead of playing each other.
@ Jigar (post #14), Some practical issues: 1. In some big team matches, we have members ranging from 2200+ to 1200. If we divide groups according to rating, we can’t have those matches, 2. Vote Chess is a good learning process so it would be good to have high rated players as well as low rated players in the same match, 3. Ratings can keep changing, 4. Goes against our goal of having a united group.
@ tkv (post #19), May be they didn’t anticipate that Indians can create so much complications to themselves . All other countries seem to be doing fine.
Everyone is supporting the stand of their own group isn't that the problem in the first place? Any team without the name Bharat doesn't appeal to you and that is your stand. You even left TI because you don't like the name India. We felt TI was the right name and supported it. We are all doing the same thing i.e. supporting the cause of our own teams. There is no need to specifically point at TI in this regard. And yes smaller teams are also part of the problem. TI and IM won't give up on their teams unless all smaller teams promise to not to divert the attention of Indians from the united team now and in the future. I wasn't criticizing but was posing questions as food for thought so that members can discuss on those issues.
