The trend continues with a match between myself and ThomasJEvans.

Inspired by these matches, MSC157 vs. Pulpofeira match, CP6033 vs. solskytz, and Martin0 vs. skotheim2 match, currently going on;  we will play 16 games at a time control of 20|10.  In the case of a tie we will play 4 games of 4|2.  If still tied we will play 2 games of 4|2 until a winner is determined.

Game 1 is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, November 15 at 19:30 GMT.

Thomas, and I would like to thank our predecessors for leading the way with this great idea, and we are looking forward to a fun and competitive match.

The idea IS great. Good luck!

<Lluvmarlies> - I hope that you finally find a worthy opponent for your own match. It should probably be a titled player by what I understand about you.

STANDINGS - the last one in my spreadsheet (probably). Good luck. Smile

Great, another match to follow!

Anyone with a rating 14-1500 want a long correspondence match?

I hope so too, dont need to be a titled player, I probably dont play at my peak playing strength anymore :)

Thanks guys!

I look forward to what I think will be an interesting match, from what I hear, you can learn a lot about your chess when playing a match (and probably your opponent's!).

Avatar of solskytz

You can learn a lot - especially if you

1) analyze and annotate your own games through your own efforts (no computer engines), and to a lesser extent - 

2) post them here for feedback from the community.

I added a direct link to the last page of thread in the spreadsheet.

From the look of it, it looks like it will be a quick vicory for Thomas.

I'll take you up on that.

My peak rating is 1483.

Maybe not, chester is going crazy attack. (probably winning)

Avatar of ThomasJEvans

Wow.

Can someone explain this game? I have no idea! I'm sure somewhere, Tal is smiling.

I thought you were going to play 17.. Rxg2

Avatar of TheronG12

That was crazier even than most of my blitz games.

 Thanks for including us in your standings spreadsheet, MSC

Game 2 is scheduled tomorrow, at 19:30 GMT. I will be taking White (it's probably easier to keep it as alternating colours throughout). Hopefully this game will be easier to understand than last time Laughing
