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!

Ok, so a manual league. Was hoping there would be a live table on chess.com. I'm guessing you'll be the only one that can see the standings?

The guy who runs the 1WL leagues (Bernd) is very efficient and posts regular league updates to a group called “1WL results” that anyone can see.

I’ll repost those when I see them either here or on our chess.com forum page

Ok, so with 3 days a move, things will move slowly.

I think we should take on some stuff from our completed games and what opps have done. So we can go for discussion for max first 48 hours and then list of candidates moves for everyone to vote on. No voting for things that haven't been discussed. If you see a move that hasn't been discussed then propose it yourself.

Discussion period can be less than 48 hours if things are clear and obviously discussion can continue after 48 hours to solidify things.

All good principles which we sort of mostly do at the moment with a few exceptions:)

I see from chat of other teams that some are much more strict eg threatening to remove players who vote poorly. With 3 days, we can probably agree to hold off on voting until the last 24h (except for planned absences). And I agree any move you want to vote for should be discussed.

Yes, very strict. Our first opp was strict on language as well, but that's fair enough if they are mainly based in one country.

We could introduce a rule to discuss each move in a different language - sort of a self-handicap system as we’ve been doing so well….

League Round 1 match now open for joining:

chess.com

Opening position looks tame, although kingside has a nice bishop diagonal.
