@verylate and @AustinL0926 - Please get your rosters in order and post them, boards 1 thru 7, to this thread.

Board # French Sicilian Result
1 @ThrillerFan    
2 @verylate    
3 @roughraf    
4 @chamo2074    
5 @DasBurner    
6 @Aadit111    
7 @theoof11    

As soon as your rosters are both set, you may begin.  A reminder each team must play 1. e4 with white, and the corresponding Team Defense with black.  The time control is 3 days per move.

Good luck!

All players are welcome.  You'll have to check with the team captains to determine which teams have available spots (I know there are a few).

Are the boards decided by daily ratings?

ThrillerFan

Throw me in.  French side of course!  Sicilian is weak!

(team e5)

 

also seriusly why are tyhese in general

chamo2074

I just think there's a reason I'm lower-rated in daily though. I just don't take my time enough. I guess we'll sort it out when the full roster is confirmed.

Aadit111

Both @Chamo2074 and @DasBurner are stronger than me, so I am not sure about me being B4.

Aadit111

Sure, I'll play on B6

chamo2074

Yeah I think use @Aadit on board 6. I lost like 200 pts because of time outs,so I should be liked 1400 ish

@verylate - please feel free to move players up/down as you deem appropriate.  The Team Captains are granted full discretion on board assignments in this challenge.

This is the problem with ratings. They don't tell you how strong a player is, only how successful that player has been, or not, recently.  How about if I drop you down to 6th, move those 2 up to 4th and 5th? Peter, DasBurner, how do you guys feel about that?

While I'm on this topic: Pat, how do you feel about taking board 1 from me? I'm happy to go against anyone, but I know you have a far better grasp of theory than I have

My daily rating has been decimated by timeouts as I've reduced my activity on the site, so I'm fine with that
