Looks like we need to open up another forum because of the maximum number of replies being reached.
I've let the side down folks by playing two of the most stupid games I have played in my life. I could make excuses but I won't. Sorry.

Unfortunatly you can't play team games, if you reach games limit. First you have to finish some games and then Michael can arrange you some games.

After the holidays we all have been a little sluggish our games have slowed down. Our goal was to get to 1400. It is still in reach. I also propose a new goal also I would like to see our Team score to a posative score. What do you guys think?

It's a good idea, but I feel it's rather, dare I say it, out of reach. We would have to win 33 games. However, if our team score ever does become positive, I'm pretty sure we'll be the number 1 team on Gameknot.

Everythings is possible. we can reach team profile 1400, even 1500 and have positive score, but that will take a lot of time and a lot games. Maybe it would be good, if we can get any new good players in the team.
Any one knows somebody who would join out team?
Good luck to all of you!

Well, if you guys think it's possible, then we can do it.
Oh, about new members. Many of the members on this team joined on my invitation. Sometimes, I join some games with players who are not on a team, and then ask them to join. It's a great way to recruit members. Look in your tournaments, mini-tournaments, league, etc. I'm sure there are many people who would love to be on this team.
God Bless,

I think, although I am not sure, that this is like in a tournament. +1 for each team win, +0 for a stalemate, and -1 for a loss. Maybe someone else can verify that or maybe im totally wrong.

That's a good one. I don't want to analysis my own game when I won, when I lost I want to know where I made mistakes, when I draw I want to know if there is any other possible solution (doesn't matter win or lose)!

Ok, I trying this...
I think white maked mistake in this game here :
15. Ne6+
I don't like this situation, when Queen and King are on one vertical.
In this situation white need to move king or did an active queen move.
Another solution:
15. Ng3-Ne4...
Who has other opinion?
