Assorted N.P. Team News

[WhiteEagle22]

Got some major news:

6 days until the move. I may not get back online until April 3rd or 4th, thankfully I still have almost 3 weeks of vacation time left.

I also know when I'm to see the sub-specialist: April 29th, which is the day right before I host a party at my apartment (apartment warming potluck party, what else?).

 

[Narz]

Any more for the new team match? The opposing team captain wants to make sure everyone in his team gets to play.

Post some pics from your potluck!

 

[WhiteEagle22]

I will, but I've toned down it way down after recieving some sound advice from a few people. Should be a blast. If anyone's interested, I could create a Flickr group for those who want to post photos to it.

Match vs. the 420ers has begun. We outgun them on the first 10 boards, they outgun us on the next 10 boards on on board 21 we outgun them.

edit : actually match #18 we're tied in (both new players at 1200)

 

[Xyan]

That is gonna add pressure to moi as the representative on board 11.

 

[WhiteEagle22]

Glad I decided not to join! I have enough games as it is! (8 - 1 CFC 3rd Annual, 4 JP Tourney, 2 World League - Canada (same opponent, one game as each color), and 1 from the Lil Match)

 

[DaveShack]

I was going to skip that match to let my #games subside, but couldn't resist.

It's 3 days left until I move, and I expect to get DSL by April 3rd, so I should resume my Chess.com games that day. I think I may play against the Tournament Chess AI or try the Tactics Training that scid has to offer.

Did anyone else know about that feature of scid?

Hey all,

I've created a Fickr group for those of us with Flickr accounts to post our photos and chess-related images and videos to.

Enjoy!

[Sashie VII]

I'm sitting out the team match against Team Britain, too many games at the moment with RL commitments considered.

C'mon team! We need to get our act together on this one!

 

[DaveShack]

Another team I'm on is registered in a team match league.
Are we interested? I asked them to pencil us in temporarily while we discuss it.

 

[Narz]

Like I said on the forum I'm interested, keep us updated!

luce won his first game in the Animal Lovers match clinching it for us! Now we just have to win the CFfF match (hope ZPV comes back before his opponent gets off of his vacation!) & and we'll have won all our early team matches! Including the one against the sailors where we were originally outgunned by over 1000 points!!

 

[ZPV]

I'm still here There are just some days where I don't have the energy to think about chess or check my games.

I won't sign up for any more 3 day matches for a while, but I'll try my best not to let my current games time out.

Understandable. You've got some very interesting games going like this one right now.

 

[WhiteEagle22]

Hey all,

I'm not getting DSL for another week, so I'll stay on vacation til then. I've got 10 days, so I've got plenty of vacation time left. When I get DSL, I'll also upload some images of my apartment that I took.

My oppo blundered in one game losinga piece when in a better position. He resigned - then immediately resigned the second game. Sore loser.

 

[DaveShack]

I've had a few timeout in a losing position and then never reply to the 2nd game.
