I might consider doing this :) I am a bit busy with making a book right now but I can play fourth man on a team if they need one.
Parent - By NATIONAL12 (Gold) [gb] Date 2009-06-29 07:40
put me in same team as Bobby C.
Parent - By deka (****) [ee] Date 2009-06-29 07:43
Put me in team B.
Parent - - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2009-06-29 20:18
Put me on the same team team of Nat12 and Bobby C.
Parent - - By Bobby C (****) Date 2009-06-29 21:01
Why don't you and Nat12 see if Vempele or Soren would play as our teammate. Or if they both want to play since we do not have the room they can play on another team maybe with the deka who was interested.
Parent - - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2009-06-29 21:09
I think that first the three current members of the team should decide how are we going to pick the moves? Democracy? Captain Dictatorship? Relay (nooo)? The first one moving gets their move in (j/k)? etc.
Parent - - By NATIONAL12 (Gold) [gb] Date 2009-06-29 21:21
i think the idea is relay.i dont think Soren has the spare time for this.Vempele would be vey welcome to our team of 4.
Parent - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2009-06-30 08:53
Ok, Jonas said we could arrange a stronger method of choosing moves than relaying. Now, let's wait for more people to join team B with deka.

> Vempele would be very welcome to our team of 4.


My laptop's fan broke; I only have a 2.4GHz P4 right now, and I don't even want to think about analyzing with it.

(And I'm going to prepare for a tournament once I get the laptop back. No time for a game in the near future).
Parent - By NATIONAL12 (Gold) [gb] Date 2009-06-29 21:26
just out of interest to you guys,we are playing Eros in a hot line of the Sicilian.we are white.
Parent - - By NATIONAL12 (Gold) [gb] Date 2009-07-01 21:44
Hey,Bobby i would love to play a Morra against c5,i know from experience how difficult it is to defend,i imagine Vytron feels the same.
Parent - By Bobby C (****) Date 2009-07-02 01:07
I think that gambit equals an instant draw. I do not have enough quality games to give us an advatage as white. I would love to play against it as black though, it really all depends on the time control.

Are vacations allowed?
Parent - By NATIONAL12 (Gold) [gb] Date 2009-06-29 21:23
if genuine,no doubt something could be arranged.
Parent - By Jonas (****) [at] Date 2009-06-30 08:47
yes, i meant your team should be able to move in 24h
it doesnt mather if always the same person moves or if not.
you can also play alone without  team
Parent - - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2009-06-29 21:44
Hey Jonas, are teams free to arrange themselves how they wish or is this relay chess (one member of the team moves, then the next, then the next, etc.) and are team members allowed to discuss their moves with other team members?
Parent - By Jonas (****) [at] Date 2009-06-30 08:45
every team can decide theirself how they want to move.
Parent - - By Jonas (****) [at] Date 2009-06-30 11:24
you can also join without team and ill put u in a team of more people who dont have a team.
Parent - - By dalbertz (**) [us] Date 2009-06-30 12:58
User NIMH over at Chessgames.com referred me to this.  Sounds like fun.  Please sign me up (with his team, if possible).

Thanks
Parent - - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2009-06-30 13:01
What's NIMH's nick at Rybka Forum?
Parent - - By deka (****) [ee] Date 2009-06-30 13:07
it's me
include dalbertz in team B.
Parent - - By Jonas (****) [at] Date 2009-07-01 02:36
nice :) maybe you find 2 more people for your team :)
Parent - By deka (****) [ee] Date 2009-07-01 11:22
We'll see
Parent - - By deka (****) [ee] Date 2009-07-04 19:37
Sorry, couldn't find anyone else interested :(
Parent - - By keoki010 (Bronze) [us] Date 2009-07-04 20:19
Hey, I'm in.  I can contribute a little.  We'll whup them guys bad! :lol:  Seriously how about you team captain?  We can vote on the moves or relay, ok either way with me.  :yell: go teamB go :yell:
Parent - - By deka (****) [ee] Date 2009-07-05 13:22
Ok, here's the hierarchy of our team:
deka - dalbertz - keoki010
When I'm on vacation, dalbertz will temporally take over the captainship.
As long as we stay within known theory, we make moves by turns without consulting. Thereafter the democracy ends and it is captain who decides how we operate. I'll have the honour of moving first upon which dalbertz and you make your move.
From now on we talk via pm-s only.
Parent - By dalbertz (**) [us] Date 2009-07-06 01:33
Sounds good.
Parent - - By Jonas (****) [at] Date 2009-06-30 13:11
teams so far:
Team A: National12, Vytron, bobby C,
Team B: Deka, Dalbertz,
Team C:
Team D:
common guys just sign up :) we need more players. maybe we also get a team from the hiarcs forum if somebody is signed up there and ask them to play here.
Parent - - By Master Om (*****) [in] Date 2009-07-06 09:35
Me in Team A . add me
Parent - - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2009-07-06 09:51
I think we're already set up for a 3v3 game, you can join team C and play against team D and so on.
Parent - By Master Om (*****) [in] Date 2009-07-06 10:01
Ok :-(
Parent - - By Jonas (****) [at] Date 2009-06-30 14:34
maybe we can arrange a team-germany :)
Parent - - By keoki010 (Bronze) [us] Date 2009-06-30 17:28
Ok! Sign me up Jonas
Parent - - By Jonas (****) [at] Date 2009-07-01 02:35
what team? C? or dont you care ill just put u in one?
Parent - By keoki010 (Bronze) [us] Date 2009-07-01 14:30
Makes no difference. Just put me in one.
Parent - - By NATIONAL12 (Gold) [gb] Date 2009-07-01 22:38
one question Jonas, i each team can decide what move to play,we cannot have this open discussion on the forum,otherwise our opponents would see our AN.this means we would be sending PMs to each other.i prefer relay chess for this reason,and this reson only.
Parent - By keoki010 (Bronze) [us] Date 2009-07-01 22:49
Hey, Jonas put me on B and we can start a relay. 3 on 3.
Parent - - By keoki010 (Bronze) [us] Date 2009-07-01 22:52
Couldn't each team have a seperate group?  Maybe it's too much of a load though?
Parent - - By NATIONAL12 (Gold) [gb] Date 2009-07-01 22:59
we have only got 2 teams of 3 at the moment.maybe if we started this others would join in.i found relay fun although not ideal,maybe we could let guys not playing post their comments,NO AN.i for one would not take the slightest notice and i think this also applies to other members of our team.
Parent - - By Jonas (****) [at] Date 2009-07-02 00:02 Edited 2009-07-02 00:04
we could make the rule that we have a special move order... but that would mean every player has to be online that day to play his move. thats what i dont like about it.
its on every teams own how they like to communicate and who plays the next move...there are enough possiblities since the internet has been invented already.
yes, we could start the match between A and B soon if all agree. i want to give both teams a few days to decide how they play their moves.
imo a good idea would be every player ponders a different move answer and the move that was played by the other team decides who plays next.
Parent - - By NATIONAL12 (Gold) [gb] Date 2009-07-02 00:10
i am quite happy to go along with what Vytron and Bobby wish to do.
Parent - - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2009-07-02 00:23
I don't have any problems sending Private Messages.

Also:

http://www.mirc.com/

With mIRC we can have real time conversations, and sharing ideas in what was seems to be extremely powerful, on my last game against PortCitySlim we got stuck, I couldn't decide how to defend and Bobby C wasn't sure if all lines were winning, we would have needed to keep playing the game for weeks to know.

What we did was having a single mIRC session and play the game real time, in one day we solved all our doubts (but he didn't let me resign so we opened the game.) We could take advantage of chatting.
Parent - - By NATIONAL12 (Gold) [gb] Date 2009-07-02 09:28
$20 after free trial.??.i will stick with PMs
Parent - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2009-07-02 09:37
You only get nag screens, but you can use it for free forever.

Anyway, IRC is a chatting network, there are many IRC Clients out there, I just like mIRC the best because... I think it's the best (for windows, of other OSes I've heard there are better alternatives), even after going REGISTER - NO - REGISTER! - NO! with it on every startup.
Parent - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2009-07-03 10:53
This is what Dadi Jonsson said:

"[...]

Note that it's no problem to create temporary hidden boards for the different teams that are playing the games. I just don't want them to pile up over time. Their contents should be deleted or merged with the new Correspondence Chess board after use."

So, teams can get their own subforum, I say we can start the 3v3 game soon (the new Correspondence Chess board is still under discussion, in my opinion there are too few active threads either way to justify a new subforum, we will see.)
