one suggestion is to have one on one matches with other forums, say 6 boards the team to finalize who plays on each board and then the opponents lock horns

no outside help in terms of advice or hardware is allowed between team mates e.g. Harvey cannnot offer me advice or hardware help on my games, each player is on their own in the match

how does this format sound to the team?

i know it doesnt lend to the team discussion but there is higher probability of decisive games

looks like we have a right one on Rybka WBCCC thread.seems to think she knows everything about chess.

By Anne-Marge Date 2011-02-03 16:42 I think it's a draw. I do not mock anyone. If anyone thinks I've lost I will resign. From the perspective of a human chess player, this game is a draw. A chess program would give White pieces a positional advantage, but not enough to win. This is knew by any chess player a certain level used to play chess or real people, not the chess programs that do not understand this type of position.
Is there a game referee, right? Maybe he should decide. I do not like to waste my time. Im starting to get sick of sexist comments

no sexists comments had been made. :(

think DarkHorse should have a word with this foolish lady.

my reply on Rybka forum.

By NATIONAL12 Date 2011-02-03 23:57 there is no discrimination between men and women in advanced chess.(the moves speak for themselves)i also play for Hiarcs team where our captain is a female whom i greatly respect(DarkHorse) although much younger than myself,she is also a very strong OTB player and would not dream of making arrogant comments like you appear to do.

regards Paul.

strange, is her position lost though? from some painful internet chess experiences I dont say a thing when people play on in lost positions and just keep going,

in a team game though if one consistently votes to play on there is nothing left to do but to try to convince the others.....

a lot of internet "women" may actually be men, something i discovered through spending time at forums.... strange world the internet is....
