English Chess Forum

I have a GOOD idea, would anybody be interested in forming a team composed of the members of this forum? I think we would have a bit of an edge over other teams who tend to be composed of rival players from their respective areas of the country or mercinaries who have hired themselves out to the highest bidder.
In my experience, its better to have a weaker team with reliable players then a stronger team with no unity.

hmmm, that would certainly be interesting...

but how do you define 'weak'? A player of grade 25 could be classed as weak in a large county, but a player of grade 125 could also be classed as weak in a very small county...

and what league would we be playing in? Unless we do the National Club Championship or something, it would be extrememly hard to maintain a regular team due to practicalities...

nice idea though
