Interesting idea, I m too busy OTB until November, interesting to hear how it goes!
Looking for a partner for a 8-game match
I haven't played enough standard to get my rating to an acceptable range yet, but you should at least check out this group: http://www.chess.com/groups/home/world-standard-time-control-chess-club-365-days-a-year
Seems like it might be something you'd be interested in.

I am looking for a partner for a 8- game match on live chess. My current live std. rating is 1631 and I am looking for someone in 1550-1700 range. Matches will be either 45/45 or 90/30.
My tentative idea is to play 1-2 live games per week but it is pretty flexible and, like Carlsen, you can put 'ill clause' as well
I think it should be fun. Agree only if you are serious and ready to fulfill ur commitment.
Another extension of the idea is that if we get more ( not more than 5) players we can have round robin league as well.
