The teams are as follows:
 

Team 1                    Team 2	
Gladiator        2400     WizardNo1       2391
power            2125     yaman           2351
SouthernComfort  1961     Grevillea       1800
ElRey            1701     TrencherKnight  1721
NimzoZugzwang    1541     Kingsfull       1512
SnoopDog176      1463     Grandpa13       1481
 	        11191                    11256

 
Team 1 has the lower rating so they get white.
 
Once again Gladiator and WizardNo1 will be considered the captains of their teams. Their only responsibilities are to offer and accept/refuse a draw offer and to resign. Their decisions are final.
 
As you can see I left myself out of the game in order to keep an even number of players. This is good for me, I'll be busy keeping track of everything anyway.
 
I know some people (not going to mention names) playing in this game don't always get along with each other. I'm not going to get involved with any arguments and ask that if you do feel the need to argue then start your own topic and argue there instead of in this topic.
 
Thanks in advance to all the players and AdminBrian...

May I suggest e4. I read it in a book somewhere...

The time frame I use during the game is from 1:00 A.M. to 1:00 A.M. CDT
For those that don't live in the central time zone, 1:00am CDT is 6:00 UTC

(edit)
Also, for those that are new to Leap Frog, if somebody posts their move and you are up next, you don't have to wait until the board gets updated to make your move. If you need a visualization of the move you can make the move on the board yourself. The board that I post will let you move the pieces around but you won't be able to save it. If you are playing on the black side, you can also flip the board so the black pieces are at the bottom.

I thought Wiz had until tomorrow. Anyway my next move is 2 b3

2 nf6

No, Wiz had the customary 24 hour period everybody gets.
 
pazuzu

Why does power have until Tuesday to make his move? isn't that closer to 96 hours than 24 hous?

He doesn't have until Tuesday, he has until 1:00 A.M. Monday.
 
1:00 A.M. Monday would be Sunday night/Monday morning.

I do believe that I asked nicely that if anybody wanted to try and start an argument that they start their own topic and post it there. There will be enough posts here to wade through without the arguments...

My guess is that some moves were missed because of the weekend start. I never expected to move this early, and didn't check Caissa all weekend.
 

I'm not censoring anybody, you can argue all you want, I'm just asking you move it somewhere else.
 
If you don't understand a move you may ask about it, but your 'question' was more of a dig at Gladiator than just a simple question.

 I asked if anyone else thought that b3 was a weak move, especially since MCO and Chessgames say it is. A 2700 player doesn't need you to stick for him.
 
Pazuzu may have been the Assyrian king of the wind, so you are trying to be the king of the kibbitzers?

My analysis: 4. e3....c5 5. Nf3....Nc6 6. Nc3....b5 7. d4....pxp 8. N(3)xp....Bd7 9. Be2....Bc5 10. pxp....pxp 11. NxN....PxN.

I never did, until now, see where this was posted, and that's why I missed my turn. I request that the game be started over with the moves I would have made, but I know this is asking a lot.
 
1.e4 e6
and if 2. d4 then 2....d5
 
Wiz

No problem Wiz, you weren't alone in missing your turn.
