Well I played in a OTB tourny a couple of weeks ago and a CCIM rated 2350ish OTB player lost to a 1450 player. So it can happen.
Your style of play is also an important factor here at GK. A 2400 fide player who plays like its an OTB game will obviously lose against lower rated CC players.

Message:
yes i'm aware of that, happens more than once... so we just considder the first half of the game as a lot of very bad days for him and the 2nd half as the best endgame he ever played? everything is possible... i even don't know why i'm so upset about it. well yes, i DO know, because he talks like a chessplayer who just started playing, like one of those who call you a cheater when you take his pawn e.p.
sometimes its just frustrating.
oh well, i'll keep an eye on him.

Message: if i might ask what i missed?
i think we are a great team as is. we need players of all ratings. an 800 player can get as many team points as an 2700 player if you pair it right. it's the team spirit that counts. i think that this forum page is very important for our team. it holds the team together. if i look into other team pages, the players joke around, exchanging their ideas and helping out if someone got stuck in a game and doesn't see a way out.
team spirit.
v_glorioso12 we have a great team and very good players, otherwise we wouldn't be in the top 30 either. so i don't want to see anyone "shut up". say whats bugging you.
if others think, like firedance your english isn't good enough, don't worry about it, we are a team, no one will laugh at you or boo you out.
share your ideas, jokes and worries with us

well, now he's back, will try to win those two games and will then take his break.
good luck komei and welcome back.
i'm sure he would say something to this as well, but right now he is still banned from the forums
please msg me, if you have the same situation, so i know who's able to post and who not.

09-Aug-2003 07:42 team Team Vlad's Impalers is sending a new challenge to your team. Click here to review all current challenges for your team.
unfortunately i'll have to decline it for now. i'll accept as soon as clems is back from his vacation, that will be in one month.
he beat cyrano and olympio is in one of his games on the best way.
that makes then two players...
who else would like to play against the maybe strongest team on GK?
my dreamteam would be:
clems
experimentator
ken1
pawnstar
onlythemage
olympio
tgtp
vezer
komei
katrin
myself
(of course this list is incomplete, the real dreamteam is the ENTIRE team, i love all you guys!)
unfortunately many players are on vacation so i would like to know, from the players that are 1950+ first question is:
who would like to be able to play against Vlad's Impalers (their min rating player is 2050) regardless of his/her actual games?
i'm affraid that i'll have to decline due to missing clems, so 2nd question is:
who would be able to play in 1-2 months against Vlad's Impalers?

i whish you all good luck with the games.
i was looking at a few ongoing games and the overall doesn't look bad at all. you guys are doing so great, i'm pround of you!
here comes another point for our team:
thegreatchampino vs. drgandalf (won)
also i'm still trying to get the "pre-match" going on between the team captains and one additional player against the vlad's impalers.
i picked olympio because he's on his best way to win against cyrano in one of his team games.
so the pairing would be:
olympio vs. cyrano and kai_sim vs. cairo
i'm not sure what cyranos plan is, but he keeps on chickening out. he always finds a new reason to delay the match. the current reason for the delay is that cairo could beat me, if i understood him right.
this stalling goes now on since a week. i wonder how long it will take him to set up the 8vs.8 in the end of september...
oh well, i'll keep on fighting for it and you guys please keep up the GREAT work you are doing!
i would also like to take the chance for something personal:
thank you for your support and trust you all give me, it's a great feeling to be on this team!
thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
