Ehh, I first had a bunch of ? and ?? but then wasn't going to spend the time to make sure they were really bad. I dno, plenty of his moves seemed dubious to me.

Honestly I am getting pretty lucky. Out of the 3 opponents I've played in 2p2 team matches, only 1 seemed to play solidly at all given their rating. But maybe online ratings just aren't anywhere close to other ratings in terms of strength. E.g. maybe even at 1800+ I'm still rated quite a bit too low.

Correspondence ratings are quite a bit higher than blitz and standard at club levels. Above that they start to converge. Yes, your rating is "too low".

Also depends on how much effort you put into the games, of course.

I won both of my Greek games very straightforwardly to keep up my 100% record for 2+2 (10/10?).

You team match beast. I'm pretty happy with my games in the assassins match, already won one and the other game should won as well. Really boring low risk chess, perfect for team matches http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=110929828 http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=110929830

Won an inelegant game but I'll take the point. Villain is FIDE 1893 but keeps time defaulting dozens of games keeping his rating low. Computer analysis says I committed 3 mistakes and 1 inaccurate move.(moves 27, 31, 33 and 21 respectively)

Going to just post another spoiler to see if we can freak rockfsh out. But, yeah, barring a complete blunder/misclick it looks like an easy win for black. I don't even see any cheapos or really anything for white to try and do.

Joined. Immediately regretting my choice. I don't suppose it's fair to have rockfsh just play my games for me, is it? Seems like a win-win for us and a lose for the other team, .

He already did most of this, I approved him as a member a couple hours ago. Still needs to sign up for the match though!
