It’s going to be complicated, so I think it’s better if we just play the match as I originally suggested, alternating colors, with rating, etc.
Even if we only play the Latvian Gambit in 50% of the games, it’s more practical because the system doesn’t allow forcing the same color.
Sure mate. friday afternoon?
Tell me the exact time because we might be in different countries.
Also, how many games do you want to play at each time control, 1+0 and 3+0?
Or how many games do you think are enough to reach a conclusion?
Aussie time on a Friday afternoon.
Best of 5 for each time mode?
( 5 bullet games, 5 blitz games, 5 rapid games?)
In Australia, there are several time zones, so just tell me what time it is in London so I can get an idea. From what I’m seeing, it doesn’t work for me because it’s 9 AM in London, and I’m not available at that time.
Find another day instead, and make sure it’s in the afternoon or evening in London—at least from 3 PM (London time) onwards.
Regarding the games, we could play three mini matches.
Whoever reaches 5 points wins the match for both 1+0 and 3+0.
For example, the 3+0 match could end with a score of 5-3, and the same for Bullet—the first to reach 5 points wins the match.
If there’s a tie, it stays that way—no tiebreaks, no complications.
I don’t really trust Rapid; it’s not that I’m afraid to play 10+0, but it just takes too long.
Besides, the point here is to prove what works in Blitz and Bullet.
If you want, the third mini match can be 5+0, with the first to reach 5 points winning.
i am black pieces in all the games and we play all the time latvian gambit
