Well, online I usually play 3+0, goes quickly, but chess is still the most important factor instead of time
I will probably be eliminated because of running out of time
I will too
I have only played twice with a 5 min clock, and ran out once, and the other guy ran out the other time
I played 6 times today and 4 times I ran out of time and 2 times they ran out of time and we barely got 3/4 of the way done every time

Selwink. We need to change to 10minutes at least. Should be long enough to have a game.

From my experience 10 minutes per game is quite a lot, but since most seem to want it I'll change it. If there's any objection, please tell

Well, instead of Dippofix, jseadog1 and Stromeon ,please put Cycleman123, krisa and SSj2Luigi in my pot and that's it.
No seriously, it's pretty good.

@Admir That's not smart. You'd have no chance of playing against them while you now play against one of pot 4, one of pot 3 and one of pot 1
Remember, the draw still has to take place
Anyway, could've participated in this I think, but I wouldn't add a lot, since I haven't played in years.

I think he feels I overestimated him. I initially thought the same though.

Unfortunately, yes. But it's okay, no need for any changes.

Looking forward to this - hopefully I can justify my position in pot 2
Have we changed to 10 minutes btw just for clarification?

I'll need my PC for that, which I won't have the ability to use this evening. Tomorrow I'll be home at 15:00 CET (hopefully) and I'll do the draw then.

I don't understand this pot system but whatever. Just tell me who to play.
I play my best chess at 15-20 minutes but 10 minutes is comfortable for me.

I'd like to avoid LLS because he's abit of an unknown factor and could turn out to be underated by the draw, and from a time zone perspective it would be nice to avoid anyone from Australia as it would probably limit what time of day the match could be played as I think it's about 8-10 hours difference.

I might be underrated. In my two games so far I lost to some Indian guy who said I was good for my age and then I beat some other guy relatively easily. Both were 10minute games.

I've got to say that 10 min games seem alot better, I'm not finding the games being decided on time anywhere near as much now.
