I am smelling fear and a loss on time for move 1.

1.b3.Jeb asked me to make first move if you complained about time loss.

I was not complaining just asking but ok. I would normally play 1...d5 here but as that acorn Sebi may be helping you and has worked on the 1...d5 line I will play

1....e5

The game board has been updated to reflect your conditional.

shall we make this 24 hours a move? I want to get this done by end of August at the latest? I was hoping we would bash out the opening.

I will ask the team. We know that you have the semi finals coming up.

Not for any specific reason but i do not see why you need 48 hours to play Bb2 - If you do not plan Bb2 then what is your plan with 1.b3?

As you know, the Team Captain is not authorized to reveal Headbanger Team plans.

We will attempt to speed up the game, but, it does take some time to collect the votes. Additionally, the Team is considering the TC change to 24 hours.

Harvey, we accept your conditional and will respond to your 2...Nc6 as soon as possible.

2. Bb2 Nc6

Hi Harvey

We had a bit of a rough start, but, the Headbangers are on track now and will post our next move before our clock hits the 24 hour mark. We will also post the vote to change the TC to 24 hours.

Thanks
James

Harvey...Our time control vote is tied so I will keep the vote running. Seems we have established our regular voters so I should be able to vote the Teams move in less than 24 hours most of the time.

We did have 2 long conditionals voted, but, the majority of the Team did not want to play them.
Regardless, Sebi is here and is correctly predicting your every move. Our very own Dark Horse is active, and as you know, she is an expert with this opening. NATIONAL12 is tuning up his overclocking so be prepared for electrical brownouts in your area of the country. We have many new members and some older Hiarcs team members have rejoined the team.
So it seems your only option will be an early resignation.

The Headbangers move:

3. e3

3...d5

Leave the time control as it is - but let's hope on the obvious moves it will not take 48 hours.
