Together with Spef we're happy to open up a rivalry in the most beautiful game, as many people say so. There have been quite many tournaments held by our eastern fellows in 2005-2007, Elma Chess Tournaments and I have to admit, the climax (if you can use this word concerning any online event) was really fantastic. There was really a lot of kuskis, who played elma reasonably well, but were totally unknown to people from outside the Eastern Bloc. Yet only me and Kopaka were those who took part in that project. I managed to stand on the box for 3 times.
Today we propose a challenge that will involve more western guys, and can be a great break maybe from EOL. You can't catch Spef in internal-ish professionalism? Let's check if you manage to trouble him on the chessboard! We'll tighten up your Elma Ghetto, and for sure produce a bunch of juicy, entertaining encounters, which you could discuss with your opponent afterwards, unlike with another random guy from the net.
As the new month starts, the league is also ready to go! All you need is an account at http://www.playok.com or http://www.chess.com if you prefer different colours. Your new nick should start with 'eol', eolspef for instance, where only (rated) league games shall be played. The games will be collected, and results will appear as soon as possible, also the comments from both parties are greatly aprpeciated. We play 2 games (black and white) with each person from the league, 15/20/30mins per player. It's up to you two to choose your tempo. Hope you will want to join and lock your horns with people you know from EOL.
Feel free to announce the results by posting here, along with the staff we will count up the points and prepare the highlights using nice visual tools.
