What Happened to 2015 FCL Round 1?

Our opponent, GM Vladimir Akopian, withdrew from the Fans Club League altogether, as it was difficult for Akopian to get the 10 required players for any of their matches.  Daniel cancelled the Match with Akopian.

Our own Karpov Fan, and SA of Vladimir Kramnik Club, Marignon, has added Vladimir Kramnik Club to the Fans Club League in order to keep an even number of Clubs in the League.  

We will play Vladimir Kramnik Club in Round 1;  Please look for the sign up which is forthcoming.  

The FCL Round 2 sign up is already in your inbox, if your notifications are on; We play Levon Aronian:  http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match?id=490484
