First Round of the 45 45 T38 Tournament

Here it is. First round of ICC's 45 45 T38 tournament. I did in fact put together get a team of five players together to play in the U2000 section (which were my goals both in terms of having one extra player and being competitive in the under 2000 division). Our team name is "Primates of the Caribbean" and consists of myself, Don and Tom, plus "Holm" and "Nosferatu1" - neither of whom I know personally, but hope to as the tournament progresses.

Now I need to put my money where my mouth is, as I convinced both Tom & Don that we all needed to play more slow chess and less speed chess, as it would (hopefully) be more beneficial. This will be brand new to Don and Tom (neither have played in the 45 45 tournaments before, and I have only played 1 game in the last tournament).

So step one is to put the lineup before Tuesday and then we shall see how things go.

If all goes well, I plan to post the team's results, my game and some analysis.
