Quick message...

Message:
Thanks for letting me know archbold64, several other players are now ready for new games I know...
I will send out three challenges this evening, hopefully some will quickly become new games!
I have created a hotmail account to get myself onto our new team site, but I don't know how to add the address to my mail thingy on MS Outlook (groan!)
I am using Windows 98 with Outlook 2000 on it but I need to be dragged through every single step like a reluctant kid visiting the dentist...Can anyone help? Is it going to hurt?

I'll be in touch again soon, best regards to all for now... mercury_whyte

Finally got myself sorted

Message:
Hi all,

I've been having a few technical problems since I joined the team, but signing up for premium membership seems to have fixed everything (which was probably caused by my wife sharing the same PC) so I'm raring to get involved and get a few games under my belt! I'm very much on a steep learning curve having not played chess since school but hope I can improve my game and get a few points for the team on the way.

Cheers
Phil

Quick message...

Message:
Very sorry to hear about your discomfort niloc, a close relative of mine has to live with chronic pain and I know it can badly affect your quality of life. Don't worry too much about the games, I hope better times come soon for you...

To answer your question gibster19, we have two internal tournaments running at the moment, both organised and administrated by parrvert, one of our team's 'original' handfull of members. The first tournament involved about nine of us, the second a rather larger number. The trouble is, due to my reckless acceptance of every English chess player who wants to join us, The English Defence continues to expand, so newer members arrive during 'mid-tournament' when it would be difficult to include them...

Got to dash, regards until next time! mercury_whyte

WOW We are growing fast.. Well seeing as i have not yet said hello to any new players HELLO.. as from the description of the team from our captain mercury_whyte "We have grown very fast and I don't want us to be a team of 'strangers"
With such a big team it can easily happen.. as you may know by now with my endless (and maybe annouying) messages you will have been told the many ways to chat,leave messages to whole team and genrally have fun.. If you are reading this message you know the first way to do it. which is the most important message board as this is where team captain posts updates and important messages. the second is the team group site.. (the link can be found in my profile) which is there for anyone to chat and meet up as it has its own chat roomand other functions.. i just think it is a good place to get to know everyone.. for now have fun

16th March Update

Message:
Hello again everyone, I am still around, just about!
Making progress by degrees towards proper internet connection again, I'll get there in the end. Meanwhile I sincerely hope that your new site is going well gibster19, don't worry about how often you post here though, it's chaps like yourself who help to drive us forwards, keep it up please!

No worries doughnut17, I know what it's like! As with icantwrite, vulcan72 and others, take the time you need then let me know when you're OK for more games... (PS, if you'd prefer not to play more games chaps, please send me a private message, as I check those every day but sometimes I don't visit here for 2 or 3 days...)

The team is still holding it's own in the table at around +80, though I must confess I lost 2 games this evening against a disciplined opponent who dragged me all over the place... (sorry chaps! I'm still a bit up from my all-time low of -21)...

Time has been running away from me lately, work is going well but is very demanding! Since I last posted a list of challenges we have locked horns with the following teams;

Chess Addicts
The Red, White and Blue chess team
Phoenix Rising
Night Fever
Finland-Suomi (possibly a larger team than ours!)
Check Mate
Poland
Whitebelt Ninjas
Finland-Suomi (again! keep them coming chaps!)
The Black Knights

Three fresh challenges were accepted tonight;

1) A 5 player challenge from the DUTCH TEAM;
grobler
stevex
illegal_logic (first games, good luck!)
mercury_whyte
izs26

2) A 3 player challenge from LITHUANIA;
philbevan
anathema
gibster19

3) A 2 player challenge from the ATLANTA HOUSE OF PAIN;
mercury_whyte
graftsterbot

Best of luck in those games everyone! Up the Addicks, 4th again!

I have absolutely NO idea what has happened to the team table, I have
not had time to read any information the webmaster might have posted

I think it is no longer organised in a comptetitive format, which seems
very strange. Kind of removes most of the incentive to do better, don't
you think?

long and patiently. If I have any success I'll post a list...

new rating for teams

Message:
hi all,
with regard to the new team rating/ position i found this:-




Rating is provisional until team finishes at least 20 games. All teams start with rating 1200. The rating system is based on a premise that a difference of 400 points gives the team 99% chance to win the game. The first 20 games are used to establish team rating. During that time, team rating will be computed as an average of the ratings of all opposing teams, +400 if in case of a win, -400 in case of a loss, the same in case of a draw.

After 20 games, team gains 16 points in case of a game won against a team with rating more than 400 points above, 8 points in case of a game won against a team with rating within 400 points, and team gains 1 point in case of a game won against a team with rating more than 400 points below. Team loses 16 points in case of a game lost against a team with rating more than 400 points below, team loses 8 points in case of a game lost against a team with rating within 400 points, and team loses 1 point in case of a game lost against a team with rating more than 400 points above. Team won't lose or gain any points in case of a drawn game, unless tying a game against a team with rating more than 400 points above, in which case team gains 8 points.

Message:
I have just accepted a number of challenges including
the largest ever from the Finland Suomi team! Apologies
to anyone who was not expectng new games at this time,
I hope I haven't upset anyone, but the challenge was too
tempting to resist!
Some players have relatively easy matches (by rating alone)
while others perhaps tougher ones, but all are within +/-100
points, so the very best of luck to everyone involved!

**NEW LONG TERM EVENT**

Message:
As you may now i am trying to set up a system and event to try and help all the lower abillity players which is me . To become better chess players.. i have come up with a competition which i have had run past the captain and is in full support of.

The competition is as follows. I find 3 - 5 highly rated players from the team and they become the defenders. each one of the defenders then plays one game against a person from the group. will be decided by first come first serve ( a list will be drawn up). the aim is to see how long the defenders can go without loosing. this creates a challenge for the defenders see how long they can go unbeaten... i will draw up a league as well in the group site on msn for this..

Hopefuly many players will learn from playing you and have fun trying to be the person who won the defenders.. once a defender has had enough the person who has won the most then gets promoted to a defender... what do you think?

Anyone interested in being a defender please contact me... gibster19

Defenders Of The Last Pawn

Message:
******IT HAS ARRIVED******
Defenders Of The Last Pawn


Hopefully If things go to plan the first challengers will have their games by monday.

The Rules are simple Defeat the Defenders.

One challenger at a time will face one of the Defenders win them and gain a DP (defender point) loose and you will not gain a point but you will take with you experience and maybe some hope.

To play is a first come first serve. At the moment there is only two Defenders Stevex and therealjimfriar. Hopefully more defenders will join up. . So this means the first two to contact me will be the first two challengers.. The rest will then be added to a waiting list. If you are a highly rated player and willing to be a defender please contact me

While you are playing there will be many benifits as you can use the comment function and ask these guys valuble questions. To Make this event Fair for the highly rated players (defenders) I feel every game should be unrated. I say unrated as this is mainly an event ot get to know each other and get some experince while we are at it and have a bit of fun.

Finally: Altogether i want 7 defenders (5 to start with). Dont worry to all you lower rated players like myself there will be away to become a defender
If you manage to knock up an impresieve 20 Defender Points then you qualify to become a defender. 7 max defenders will be running at anyone time.

****************NOW COMES THE TWIST****************

As I have said their can be only 7 defenders at anyone time. So if we have a player who has 20 points the defender with the most defeats will be thrown to the LIONS and forced to become a challenger. They will then have to fight to get their crown back by collecting 20 points. The challenger who has the 20 points will then take their seat at the high table of Defenders. Play well and have fun.

Please contact me A.S.A.P to make sure you are one of the first challengers so you can get defeating..

P.S I would like to thank the Defenders Stevex and Therealjimfriar and everyone who has showed interest in the event and hopefully this will be a success. lets have some fun.

Let the battle commence

FUll UP

Message:
Thats It We Are Full

The last Defender spot has been taken By Tkdman, welcome on board and thanx for taking the time to help out..
The full list of defenders are as follows

Stevex
Therealjimfriar
tkdman
stellaknight
archbold64
Locked
Locked

Now all these highly trained Defenders need now is some challengers.. step up if you dare

Remember this is a competition but the main point is to learn from these guys, maybe a good thing would be once the game has finished th two discuss how things went and any weeknesses and to get to know one another. lets have some fun trying to take these guys down

P.S I think that a time limit on each game of 5 days will be the best setting.

The way this will work i will msg the challenger with the name of the defender they are to challenge. The title of the game will always be called Defenders Of The Last Pawn. Time control will be set to 5 days. To make things more fun the challenger will have the say on what colour they are. Once the game has ended the defender will either msg me the result. or post it on one of the msg boards I will then update the league.

Hope this is ok with everyone

If there is a big rating difference it is not possible for the lower rated player to send a challenge so it is up to the higher rated player to start the game.

Due to problems of a financial nature I haven't seen a first team game since our 3-0 win over Pompey, but by the sounds of it the Charlton defeat was as bad as the Southampton game in December. We're awful at the moment but enjoy your victories now, because we'll be back soon and you'll be getting some hidings!

...for your messages! On the subject of Liverpool FC, I believe the name has more emotion and footballing romance attached to it than any other in the world, bar none. Even as the supporter of another team I look forward to the days when Liverpool regains its former glory because the Premiership is in dire need of that kind of football again. Going to Anfield should be the frightening experience it once was...

New games will be coming soon archbold64 and grobler (I will try my very best to get some better matched opponents, I know we have accepted some fairly tough challenges lately...) I'll sand out some challenges now...

Timely reminder

Message:
Thanks for reminding me of your request calmrolfe, I have
sent out three challenges this morning, so far however I have
had only one reply (declined).
We have had no incoming challenges for at least 10 days now,
but I will keep sending them out, until everyone is as busy as
they wish to be!

A couple of players have left the team recently, I particularly
regret losing tonyh as he has been with us for a very long
time. If anyone is thinking of leaving because they are unhappy
about anything within the team, please let me know what it is
before you go, I may be able to put it right!

I know that I am not online as much as I used to be, my internet
connection problems have become long-term I'm afraid, I only
have access from work for the forseable future and my working
days are busier than ever...
I very much regret not being able to devote as much time to you
chaps as I used to, and I am thankful for the efforts of parrvert,
gibster19 and everyone else who devotes time and effort to our
venture. I know our score has been slipping a bit lately, possibly
because I have been accepting fairly tough challenges. Maybe I
should decline more than I do, but it is a difficult balance to strike,
tough games against the desire to keep everyone busy...

If we seem to be losing our way it is mostly my responsibility. Maybe
I should contact everyone, see who is still enthusiastic? Tighten the
ship a little, remove a few 'current' members who have dissapeared
from GK, trim things back, do a bit of spring cleaning?

Any ideas or thoughts about ways to freshen things up a little, I
would be more than happy to consider them. Contact me here or
privately if you wish... I wil try my very best over the next few weeks
to organise my time better and improve the quality of our challenges
and my posts. I don't want this team to gradually fade away, I will
seek to do better because you all deserve better.

I'll be setting up our next forum page in a moment as this one is nearly
full, will post again soon, hopefully with news of new games!

Regards to all, mercury_whyte

still enthusiastic

hi skipper, if you're thinking of a 'spring clean', fine, but don't make me a victim just because I'm not playing much! I'm right out of team games at the moment but I'll take some just as soon as you can find them for me....
I'm sure we all appreciate your efforts as much as I do, which is a lot. I personally don't set a lot of store by team scores, which are really just a reflection of the relative strengths of the chosen opponents. I play here for fun and to try and improve my game.
If gameknot wants a team competition where team scores truly reflect team quality/ability then teams should be selected as in normal chess competitions - choose the best players from each team. Im not saying I want this to happen - but if team scores are to mean very much then it's the only realistic way to do it.

Enthusiastic

To truely be great We first must know our own ability before we look at our enemies ability.

Teams are springing up all over the place nowadays, with no real reason to operate. So many teams slip into negitive scores and attitudes within the first 3 months of being created. True teams are those who can say WE WILL NOT ROLL OVER AND DIE. This team is made up of all sorts of people from different demographic areas, age groups and ratings. One thing that links us together is that we are ENGLISH. we dont have to over come barriers such as, language differences, time differences or any other problem mulity national teams come accross.

In difficult times like this when our captain is in need of help, is for us all to pull together. many people in life at the first sign of trouble abandon ship, leave and find fresher pastures. is this the right thing to do NO. who can say in thier life they have not gone through a bad patch or a rough patch.. this is a team rough patch but the sun will shine again. I ask you why do people run before they talk.. this team has many options in the way of talking. we have this board the msn board and private msgs. if you have a problem tell the group or captain.

... Talk about it.. that way the problem could be solved. answer me this how would a blind person know he was white unless someone told him he was white..

We must as a team stick together through this tough time and most of all Talk to each other if we have problems.. otherwise this ship will sink.. and it will go down faster than the titanic. and not because of our captains fault but through our own faults..
