Important, please read!
Hello Everyone,
First of all, I am so happy to have you all in my team, I feel honoured! I am sending this message to you as a reminder, that today, in 5hours the tournament will start (6PM Central European Time), please don't forget about it!
We have great chances, we are one of the best teams so far, but the competition will still be tough, there are approximately 3 other teams that got a very strong team, with bigger names like Jose Martinez, Sviridov, Eric Hansen, Minh Le, Vi Pranav etc, + many others, and tons of 2500-2900 rated players as well. So we have to fight!
Please, if possible, play until the end of the tournament, it lasts only 2 hours, and every point counts! Although, I know, that in our team we have a few people who won't be able to play until the end, but their points are appreciated very much!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me here, on chess.com, but I will also be streaming the event at https://www.twitch.tv/szefru Feel free to say hi or ask me anything about the tourney there
I might send you more info or changes here in the group, stay tuned!
