Assorted N.P. Team News

Narz, how do second-round matchups work? First seeds from odd groups and second seeds from even groups in a group, and the other way around for the other group? Random?

 

[azzaman333]

Not really, because I will have a 5-3 record if I do win the rest of my games, which won't be enough to advance. I think Lone Wolf could and will win this tournament.

In other news: Chess.com refuses to work with Opera, so I have to surf the site using Firefox. I do not like sites that force you not to use your favorite browser!

At least it works with Firefox, and doesn't force you to use IE.

 

[WhiteEagle22]

Now that would not be that bad! I actually can stand to use IE one in a while.

 

[Lone Wolf]

I think Lone Wolf could and will win this tournament.

He's got Mehmed, Bathsh and me to get through first - and Luce if he reappears.

 

[WhiteEagle22]

Yeah, but he swept his series with me, and he played super strong.

 

[Narz]

My secret weapon ManicDragon seems to have gone AWOL and will probably lose both his games for us in our large team game (vs. Friends 4 Friends) on time.

 

[Sashie VII]

He's lost 7 games on time consecutively, perhaps he's got something big happening in RL.

 

[Narz]

That's what I figured.

 

[WhiteEagle22]

I think I am on track to win my team games against alicorn and urithon. Looks like he won a big game a few days ago, because his rating jumped from the low 1700s to the low 1800s in one day. I was shocked to say the least!

Now playing board 4 for UK against China - this could be embarrassing.

 

[Narz]

Cool, I'll be following along.

 

[WhiteEagle22]

I can't wait for my first game for Canada or for my company.

 

[Lone Wolf]

I am playing on Board 15 in Russia-Canada <1900 match.

I proudly bring to you my first victory for us in a team match, earned due to my brilliant and steadfast play, never giving the opponent a chance to breathe, ...

Nice work!

Merry Christmas all!

 

[Narz]

Back at you.

Captain Joe offered me a draw in this game in our match with The Sailors. And I declined. I think I've a good chance if I can keep his bishop bad and my knight active.
