Round 2

It is coming ... Later on today I'll suscribe the team, first round starts Tuesday next week. Drop a comment and let us know if you can play.

Update: A nasty flaw was well spotted by Opinel, only 5 teams have been entered and we're bye in the first round. So I have to renew the question, but for the week after that.

Update 2: We'll be playing RockOn with white, which means our first board has the white pieces. So that's: Opinel (white), Bibbusque? (black), BPaulsen (white) and darkiest (black). Pairings will be up next Tuesday at 1900 server time, which for Europeans means you can start scheduling Wednesday morning.

The games & comments (from watchbot):
Opinel 1-0 AlefZero
Nickychess 0-1 Bibbusque
BPaulsen 1-0 Albido
Funkmaus 1/2-1/2 darkiest

Clarifications

Well it appears Tio felt unsure in our team and he has joined another, so for now we're still 5. Albido has already confirmed he wants to play for us, but if possible we'll go with Funkmaus instead.

On subs: basically our two lowest rated players will be the replacements. However some may have to be replaced more frequent than others (f.i. BPaulsen mentioned atight schedule) - but I'd like to refrain from using the "sub-statute" too early.

Update: Albido and Funkmaus have found their own destiny by now, but I believe I've found excellent replacement in the form of tjradd.

Some links

You never know when you might need them:

Opinel's site:
For further discussions etc. check our forum there.

General:
The player handbook for TL. Going through this is a must for all new players and always a nice refreshment for the regulars. Make sure that you roughly know what it is about and that you know where to find something there if necessary.

Preparing:
Have a look at the other teams here. For all research you want to do on your opponent ficsgames.com is the place to be.

TL 42 approaching

I've arranged this platform to provide intern communication during the coming edition of TL. Just a couple of posts to arrange the lineups and keep us up to date. Commenting is possible from a whole range of accounts (but if no option is present, you can post as anonymous instead of having to register anything - do leave your FICS handle though).

The current team is as follows:

1. Opinel (2457)
2. Bibbusque (2396)
3. BPaulsen (~2351)
4. darkiest (~2245)
5. tjradd (2131)
6. drinkeh (2120)

I'll arrange for the team to be suscribed by Mar 30, with myself as captain (if anyone wants to be dep. let me know).
First round starting Tue Apr 6 - be there!
