Any interest in a team match?

Don't feel too good about being me, I suck.

Smith-Morra! Our team coach tried to teach us that, but after a few unsuccessful atttempts playing it we gave it up altogether I see you winning

 

[Narz]

There are so many good anti-Sicilians out there & the various mainlines are good for white too. The Smith-Morra seems like a free pawn for nothing. Just gotta not blunder (easier said than done of course ) and I'm up a point in the endgame.

I'd be you for a day.

Anyway, remember, you can suck vs. CivFanatics but you're not allowed to suck vs. other groups (they might have diseases! )!

Panzar got us off to an early start!

And Xyan looks to be doing pretty well here.

I got off to a interesting start. Plus I'm playing Azza in a friendly non-tournament game. I hope to win or at least draw (means I get a small jump in rank).

 

[Panzar75]

Yeah, he was logged on for most of the day so it turned into a game 60 or so. I didn't play all that well, he just kind of self destructed. Then we began game two and got a lot of moves in before he seemingly logged off for the day. I expect to win and go 2-0.

Well if you get bored waiting for the rest of us you can join our 2nd team match.

 

[Sashie VII]

I'm not joining the 2nd team match, I'm going home for a couple of weeks in about 7 hours and I won't be logging in that often (haven't been home for about a year now ). Best of luck to the team.

But I'll be back in early December, so if there's any new matches by then I'll join for sure.

EDIT: What the heck, 3rd board for the 2nd team match is 1591, way different from Narz's and Mehmed's opponents I'm in!

 

[WhiteEagle22]

I'm hoping for a victory in my team match. The guy I'm playing looks kinda easy at the moment IMHO.

Hey BigFoot, just FYI, next time someone plays the Ruy Lopez against you & takes the knight & then the e-pawn you can play 5. ... Qd4 with a small but significant advantage.

Looks like you have a pretty good game going against that guy anyway.

 

[Tomoyo]

Hehe, it looks like my game is venturing into the depths of a Yugoslav attack. I don't think I've ever won against it, but at least I won't have to think for ten or so more moves.

I wouldn't know the Ruy Lopez if it ran up and smacked me in the head with a sock full of nickels. Either way, I'm fightin'! And I've got pretty good control of the center. If I can just get my rooks out into the open.

That would be a good call. I need to work on that besides my tactics. I bet it's why I tend to lose my matches.

 

[Chamnix]

I think I need to move more slowly in correspondence chess - making the first move I see without really looking in depth just isn't going to get it done .

 

[WhiteEagle22]

In my match vs. alicorn (1272), I'm giving a real tough time to my opponent. I think I am making him/her think a bit more.

 

[azzaman333]

I have slain my opponents queen. Unfortunately, this'll cost me my queen, but it was totally worth it.

 

[Narz]

Congrats Panzar!

 

[Bigfoot3814]

I threw in the towel. It was too much.
