We can accept their challenge at a certain time if the day and then the match starts a certain time later (maybe 5 mins or 1 hour, but I’ve been confused before by the initial countdown to move 1 and panicked about timing out immediately).

We’d need a decent core and possibly Brian too as Bulgaria are getting 30-50 players on a regular basis. They are 4600 members, so slightly larger than us.

It would be our first match against an actual Country - I thought about challenging a tiny one, but we have to start somewhere:)

Just play an English and bamboozle them with your in-depth skills!

Scotland don’t play vote chess any more after their last very knowledgeable leader got a fair olay ban.

I was thinking more like San Marino or Lundy to start our World Domination project.

Two more yes answers to Bulgaria & I’ll accept

Sorry all, I haven't been on vote chess for some time - it relies on using a computer rather than my phone.

I have upgraded my computer so it now boots up properly and doesn't take all morning about it, so that is good progress 👍 However, my life does not realistically afford time to log on with the pc - sorry, vote chess is not going to work out with me 😥

Love the idea, brilliant opportunity to learn. Maybe when I retire there will be more time available 🤔🤣

Our first vote chess win has catapulted us up the vote chess rankings from 110,000 to 56,000th place or about 50% of the clubs ranked:)

With a 100% win rate we should be higher than that :-)

Best enjoy it while it lasts anyway…

I doubt we win in such a manner again. Brutal attack. Kind of what I was hoping for in the GPA game.

Our ranking has been updated after our one win worth 5 ranking points…

We are now ranked 4,757th in vote chess, which is is a pretty big jump up the rankings:)
