no we are on teh same team, I am paired with a 2200 rated player and the same goes with the rest of the players they are paired with much higher rated opponents this is unfair, this match should not take place unless it is more fair

After this, I will organise a match where you must be paired with someone within 200 points of you

do it now

ok fine but it will not replace this match

this match and the new one will both take place

as long as no one considers this match to be a true result (which I am sure caro-kann players will) I'm ok. I kinda wanna play with those high rated players you know

If you filter the database for players with ratings over 2400-2500 caro-kann is more used

You must either be smoking something hard, or else rigging it to come up with a higher result.

 

Let's use the real thing to judge it.  MegaBase 2021.  Almost 8 1/2 million games.

 

If you set the filter such that both players are 2400 or above, and you search the two openings:

 

Caro-Kann - B10-B19

French - C00-C19

 

You get far more games from the French than the Caro-Kann

 

French - 43065

Caro-Can't - 31259

I guess throw me in on Team French if you are still looking for someone.  I have for the most part discontinued correspondence on here except French thematic, but I'll jump in if you are still looking for 2 more.  I assume it will be sorted by rating (top rated plays top rated, bottom plays bottom, right?)

yep, You are playing on board one

How is it going to work?  You putting us in a single round correspondence tournament?  We getting messages with instructions to start private matches?  Something else?

And the only restriction is French and Caro-Kann?  I can play any variation I want to?  Panov, Exchange, Classical, Advance, Fantasy, Two Knights, etc?

You play 2 games against your opponent, one as white, one as blakc and then at the end whichever team has the higher score is declared the winner

you can play any variation you want, steinitz, exchange, classical,, etc. happy.png

I disagree but ok

French:

Playing 1.e6 is almost instant equalization except if the opponent plays 3.Nc3 which is by far the most challenging line. 

In those 2 variations:

Tarrasch (the superior line is 3...c5, I play 3...Nf6 which is slightly worse and still I equalize)

Advance (Qb6 is considered slightly more accurate, I play Bd7 and I get equalization maybe even slight advantage)

Clearly your opponent plays it wrong!  5...Bd7 already gets White +/= after Be2.  Only 5...Qb6 leads to an unclear position.  After 6.a3 (6.Bd3?! =/+, 6.Be2?! =/+), Black has:

 

6...Nh6 - Unclear

6...c4 - +/=

6...Bd7 - Borderline between +/= and +/-

6...a5? - +/-
