Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think having the chat here might be against chess.com policy.

In addition, it would allow our opponent to see the chat. The chat on chess.com for a vote chess game is hidden until the game is finished. And before that time only the participating team members see the team’s chat.

We (Team Australia) forfeited a game because a team member had posted (a link to the game) on a forum outside chess.com. Though not strictly required to forfeit, it was the honourable thing to do.

I can't find any guidelines saying off-site discussion is against the rules, but JCB's comments make sense in that giving opponents a chance to see our plans is probably not the best idea and that for fairness the team should be fixed at outset rather than having all-comers to this thread able to add comments.

From what I have been able to find in the chess.com forums it seems that the vote has to take place on the site anyway and the move then happens automatically at a fixed point.

If Jules finds an opponent maybe we just need to jump in to test the water by playing a game on the site, adjustments in the way we operate can be made once we have some experience of the format.

My 3 possibles are:

Black Stone
Chess Cafe
Hawaii Chess Club

I quite fancy Hawaii as it sounds a bit exotic & members from one place rather than a ‘designer team’

Aloha! One of the advantages of living in Japan for a while was the opportunity to visit Hawaii without a huge journey time and jet lag. It was our closest “western” destination.
