I might be underrated. In my two games so far I lost to some Indian guy
Why am I not surprised?
In all of the chess tournaments (in real life) here comprise of at least 50% Indians. Most of the time that is an understatement.
I actually play a lot of 10 minute games. My #1 mistake is to go ultra conservative with the black pieces thinking I can get a significant time advantage and even material just by playing defensively (e.g. closed position or fianchetto kingside bishop). Most of the time I accomplish neither. 
I am actually quite decent at endgame so it would benefit me if I reached a situation where both players are in time trouble at the end of the game.

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.
Just a note on this. I'm happy to adjust my sleep pattern slightly for this sort of thing.

Time for the draw
This is how it will happen: first I pick from Pot 4 for every group a person. Then I will also draw a number for him to determine his number in the group. Since I'd like you to keep a little bit up to date, I'll post it by groups of 4. The schedule has been placed in post 1, so if you want you can start the first round
Round 1:
| Group A | Group B | Group C | Group D | | 1 | | | | | | 2 | | | krisa | | | 3 | | SSJ2Luigi | | Luis Leon Sanchez | | 4 | Cycleman123 |
Round 2:
| Group A | Group B | Group C | Group D | | 1 | | Froomedog99 | | emre99 | | 2 | sammyt93 | | krisa | | | 3 | | SSJ2Luigi | Marcovdw | Luis Leon Sanchez | | 4 | Cycleman123 | | | |
Round 3:
| Group A | Group B | Group C | Group D | | 1 | admirschleck | Froomedog99 | | emre99 | | 2 | sammyt93 | | krisa | | | 3 | | SSJ2Luigi | Marcovdw | Luis Leon Sanchez | | 4 | Cycleman123 | Dippofix | jseadog1 | Stromeon |
Round 4:
| Group A | Group B | Group C | Group D | | 1 | admirschleck | Froomedog99 | CountArach | emre99 | | 2 | sammyt93 | 547984 | krisa | Selwink | | 3 | welker3257 | SSJ2Luigi | Marcovdw | Luis Leon Sanchez | | 4 | Cycleman123 | Dippofix | jseadog1 | Stromeon |

There will probably be a second edition, quite soon after this one hopefully. There will be space for more participants. I had never expected this to come in the weekly news, that would have attracted more participants

Come on now, an Australian or North American would fit my time zone better...
See which one of you wants to stay up until 2AM your time to play me.

I don't understand this, so we can actually play whenever we want (i mean whenever me and my opponent choose) or what?

It's a round robin, so long as you get done playing everyone in your group
