My opponent has not accepted yet.
Moonwarrior_1 dared me to 2 rapid, and no shock, it was a Sicilian game 1 and a French game 2. I'll let him do the explaining about the results! :-)
French Vs Sicilian
Sort:
He's got some time, @ThrillerFan. You did put on quite a show in the last challenge. Even in your drawn Caro game, your opponent (who let's not forget is a master and a Caro specialist) had an extremely powerful kingside attack going which you defended with great skill.

Hahah he destroyed me. But I didn’t reveal my true plan 😉.

I cannot be too strong.
Against Team Caro, I was held to a draw in my game as White. I did smash him with the French in my game as Black. 1 1/2 out of 2.

+1 lol
I would warn everyone against being overconfident. Team Caro-Kann seriously underestimated the French Defense, and I think that has as much to do with the lopsided result there as anything. These Sicilians will be better prepared, even if they are not as highly rated.
I think the Sicilian guy would win as Italians play more chess than the french.
can I start my game?

Can confirm. Am Sicilian. Never bet against a Sicilian when chess is on the line.
@verylate - You will have to look at the player pages for the games in action. We will post them here as the finish.
@Mr_Winawer - you can start now if your opponent also wants to. I figured it sporting for us to give them a few days to prepare.
I am ready to start
Can I get in on Team Pirc, Team ...e5, or whatever the next round is? I'm 1800 on lichess, I promise I'm underrated here.

I Did a tournament named French Vs Silcan I played Silcan

I've updated the boards. Based on @Batman2508 's confident response, I assigned Board 2, so everyone else on Team Sicilian has kicked down a board.
As @ThrillerFan has already explained, each Board will play two games, one with each color. All players on both teams must play 1. e4 with white, Team Sicilian must reply with 1. ..c5 with black, while Team French must reply with 1. ..e6, and must further reply to 2. d4, if played (Team Sicilian is not obliged to do so), with 2. ..d5.
All matches shall begin Tuesday night. Again, Team Sicilian, you have the benefit of being able to review your respective opponents' French Defense games from the prior match. The time control is 3 days per move, so there is no need to rush through your games.
Thank you all for taking up this challenge! Please post your games here as they finish, so we can all have the benefit of reviewing them.
