<SmyslovFan> I would pick up the glove - but I'm a bit difficult to actually schedule games with. \
Robert could attest to that - and now it's even harder than it was back when we played...

I appreciate that, Solskytz. Our OTB ratings are fairly similar right now, so it would have been an interesting match.

I see that you're rated USCF 1979 (mine is FIDE 1950) and that you were recently crowned the senior chess champion of (I think) Colorado. An interesting match indeed :-)

My FIDE is 2001 (provisional), and my USCF is 2000. My USCF is probably a bit low, based on recent tnmt experience (my highest was 2189). I don't know what my FIDE will be when I have played enough games though.
I would also be happy to have a go at SymslovFan (if solskytz doesn't want to). My FIDE is low (1900), but my National rating is around 2160.
I'm also happy to play someone. My FIDE is 1922.
To be completely honest I want to steal SmyslovFan's opponent and have a match with solskytz. Maybe I'm a bit selfish, but I think it was agreed that solskytz and I would have a match after this match ended and maybe SmyslovFan can play with CP6033 instead. I'm fine if things don't turn out that way though.

With you, you wanted to play once a week - and I'm not even sure that I'll have THAT much time... from time to time yes - but for example for this coming Monday I'm not convinced... maybe I'll skip a week and we'll play on the one after... :-)
I know this was directed at Robert, but if you ever consider playing a match with me I believe we are somewhat in the same boat. I do not mind a match taking a lot of time and play 1 game/week. Occasionally skipping some weeks are fine for me as well as long as not too many weeks are skipped in a row.

<Martin0> why not? Nice idea :-)
After the completion of THIS match though, of course...
Nice! I'm looking forward to it
That's awesome guys :) If any of you want to make it BCM, I can add your email to google sheets :)

As in any case I'm not THAT available for games - we might as well go for a double:
Matches against Martin0 and SmyslovFan at the same time - subject to scheduling constraints... (we will manage, given enough good will and patience...)
Of course - we go for the BCM idiom - first game server chooses the color, the other player gets white games 2 and 3, then the first player for games 4 and 5, 24 games in all.
Wrong word, but I understand what you're trying to say.
Is anyone interested in a rapid match against me?
