Assorted N.P. Team News

This looks like the safest spot to mention: I'm on holidays from chess, as I have to deal with some RL events so I can get my concentration back for chess. Hope you all understand! ;)

Caused me to time out on a couple of games today for another group, unfortunately. Hope they didn't think I did it on purpose, because I have now left the group. :sad:

Whoever is on top of Vote Chess rankings that we haven't played ;)

THE POWER OF CHESS (annoying all caps theirs not mine) & THE CHESS PLAYERS TEAM both have 97% win ratios (granted probably at least 75% of those are timeouts).

But we could take 'em. :D Want to take out Power of Chess first? (alongside our Team Italia game)
 
Not specificly team related but I got Eric to fix Vote Chess so teams that win on time after the first move or two don't get any points. :D

Doesn't look like it's retroactive but I suspect we'll be able to make a lot of headway & perhaps enter the top 10 permanently (if this rule was already in place we'd already be in the top 10).

This was in direct response to me starting a thread & PMing Erik after I noticed the Fast Players Group & Power of Chess were spamming another team I was invited to (The Jokers) with Vote Challenges for 1 hr, 30 minute & 10 minute games. They did this because in that group everyone is an admin therefore anyone can accept the challenges so they knew at least a few people would accept & then forget about the games.

That's why I like chess.com (and CFC), the staff are open to suggestions. :)
 
I've got some solid news:

I'm signing the lease for the apartment this Sunday evening, and will be moving into town by the end of the month! After that, I think I'll be able to return to chess. Sorry for the delay this move is causing to those I'm playing here.

:eek: That's despicable. Why bother?... What good's being high up in the ranking if you didn't earn it?

There's more than one type of person born every minute, I suppose :rolleyes:
 
The lust for glory I suppose...

And talking of lust :D I finally got a new team match going with the Chess Mistresses. Join up! Also, I entered our group in a Vote Chess tournament. Very exciting stuff!

More details here. :)

Sorry Narz, but I've got enough right now. I won't play group games until I improve some first.;)

Was going to sit this one out, but then my opponent this time isn't that much higher rated than I am, so...
 
Daaaaamn, we got a big crowd signed up. Hopefully a few more join on their side, I want to make sure everyone gets to play!
 
Looks like you won't be needing me...

Good thing...as this move into town is taking a while. Looks like it will be next week before I do the actual moving. However, I sign the lease today!
 
She's toying with you
 
In a way it does remind me of a certain game Karpov-Miles...

1. e4 a6
2. d4 b5

And Miles won that game... :eek:
