Teamleague 38!

Once more into the breach...

Lead again by our great and intrepid dictator Plebusan, team Current_Affairs this week begins a new assault on the under-2000 section in Teamleague 38. This season sees the welcome return of a seasoned warrior in chestutr, the recruitment of new talent in gambiitti, and the scalping of former Teamleague supremo HyperMagnus to play our 1st board! Here's the full line-up:

1. HyperMagnus (2066)
2. Mapleleaf (1882)
3. gambiitti (1829)
4. Plebusan (1783)
5. SimianChatter (1758)
6. chestutr (1763)

Naturally enough you'll be surprised at my call-up to the team after my +1-10=0 performance in the previous two seasons, instead of being dragged out the back of channel 41 and shot (it would have been a mercy killing) - as first reserve I should get a crack at some 1800-ish opposition without our esteemed leader being tempted to chance me on board 1 or 2 again against the 2000-2100's.

I've had a bit of a break from FICS, Chess, Blogging, and work over the Christmas - New Year period, but it hasn't taken much to get back into it all what with the Corus Chess Festival now in full swing, and bills to pay...
