I'm staying well out of that one, when the lowest ranked player is on 1700+ you know it's not going to end well.
Can't we play a team that's not full of grandmasters?

Hi, you all, I'm roasting-chessnuts. Had some good games including a very lucky escape in one and lost the other to PawnStasher (the Dark Horse). I've just clocked who my oponent is against the Russians - with a grade of 2050 he/she might be Kasparov.

While you first teamers are playing The Russians, I've just set up a match for us reserves at under 1400 rating v AFC Bournemouth.

Thanks Pickles. Very enjoyable and great fun.
Well done Pickles, I'm in
Good luck all in that match, good chance of getting NSC off the mark, we’ll do our best to avoid a whitewash in the other!
Is it PotG?

Silly question, I'm in the tournament thing, how do you play in say the B'muff game?

I’m having terrible trouble navigating the chess.com site on safari. Keep having to come back to the links on this thread to find the tournaments. Maybe I’m just a bit dim.

Battleman here! I think I'm playing the genetically cloned love child of Kasparov and Bobby Fischer. Here's his welcoming comments....
Black bears rarely attack. But here's the thing. Sometimes they do. All bears are agile, cunning and immensely strong, and they are always hungry. If they want to kill you and eat you, they can, and pretty much whenever they want. That doesn't happen often, but - and here is the absolutely salient point - once would be enough".
He's about 650 points higher ranked and plays loads of tournaments. Need to summon up some Churchillian spirit in this one!!

Judging by the Russians rankings, it's going to be like the charge of the light brigade!!

No I don't think its that your dim. It might be your browser, For some reason I have found that Firefox is the best browser for chess.com. When I started out I had problems trying to use Chess.com in Outlook or microsoft Edge and Firefox was recommended.
I have only just discovered the Conditional Moves facility, whilst waiting for a reply.

Flippin eck. I haven't communicated with Sergei yet. I may give it a go, although seeing as their president was talking about nuking us all yesterday it might not go well.
I'm already losing in one, holding my own in the other. They are scarily aggressive.

I said 'Strastvoite' (hello) to mine but he hasn't responded. And as Black I'm throwing a Sicilian Dragon at him, so if he's aggressive, it will be carnage (well, as carnage as chess can get)
