Chess 960 vote chess
Promotion and relegation are nearly decided (there is one last ongoing game). Normally registrations would open for season 2023 with games all two weeks from October to December.
R1: Oct. 8 • R2: Oct. 22 • R3 : Nov. 5 • R4: Nov. 19 • R5: Dec. 3. • (R6: Dec. 17 • R7: Dec. 31)
This would be today's provisional placements:
2nd 960 VOTE LEAGUE
PURPLE HAZE
WRespectW
The Praxis of Chess
Team of Slovak players
Fetch Everyone Chess
Mateiści i Drwale
Would we be interested in taking part in this?
It’s quite a big promotion we’d gain into the 2nd Division, based on our dominant timeout wins last season.

I'm almost exclusively playing 960 these days, certainly for daily matches. Don't miss having to look at openings in standard chess 🤣

James said he prefers to play std vote chess rather than 960 vote chess.
I don’t think we’d have a big enough team to enter 960 vc leagues.

What you mean a team of 3-4 instead of 2-3?!

Brian was occasional for 960, so it would just be you & me battling the Division 2 teams.
I’m pretty rubbish at 960 these days, but I’ll give it a go if you fancy trying?

The worst that can happen is we give up and timeout/ resign.
Would be nice if the app gave notifications on vote chess as I find I'm going on the website less regularly these days.

Ok I’ll accept our place in Div 2 and anyone is welcome to join us.
Maybe it’ll help me appreciate 960 a bit more.
Start dates are above.

All 6 games of our league 960 vote chess matches are now underway - we have a bye in the final round 7 that starts this week.
It’s definitely been tougher this time round, but we’re playing in the 2nd division of 1WL and our 960 opps aren’t timing out en masse like they were last time in Division 5.

We’ve had a challenge for a random vc game at 3 days per move.
They seem a serious club who won’t timeout.
Are we up for a single game?
