Narz People (0) vs Chess Nuts! (3) (The People go Nuts! - Team Vote Chess)
5 games down, 3 to go. Good thing we've extended the time limit for these things to 2 weeks.
For the 6 teams that have not played yet, is there a problem coordinating with your opponent? Have you tried? Just wondering if there's something we can do to help.
I sent a message to both admins of Chess empire 3 days ago asking them to contact me to arrange a start time but neither have replied.
I have now sent messages to all the admins in all the teams that have yet to play. Since then, one game has taken place (and timed out in the 1st move 
). Hopefully our two remaining games will get played before the week's over.
Big sorry from Chess Empire. My computer broke (couldn't get in for over a week), so we couldn't gather a good team. We'll try to get better later :)
No problem Kacper. Stuff happens. Glad to see your computer is working again (or are you borrowing someone else's?).
It's repaired now.
PLEASE CONTACT MATTER FOR NEXT 2 WEEK'S GAMES, I WON"T BE ON!
Ok, Fortnight #1 has been completed!! Here are some overall stats from the 8 games that were played:

Classical Sicilian = 2 games - white won by submission, black won by knockout
Modern Sicilian = 1 game - black won by submission
French = 1 game - white won by submission
English = 1 game - white won by timeout
Russian = 1 game - white won by timeout

Feel free to post games/links/results for Week 1 in this thread.
For the standings, I prefer the system that gives 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw because it encourages more aggresive play and discourages draws (no one enjoys watching a tie).
So the Standings after week 1 are:
3 points = Team Antartica, Chess & Cola Club, The Power of Chess, Chess Nuts, The Dark Knights, The Best, The Blakenators, Fast Players Group
0 points = Everyone Else
