Does anyone play (rated) chess on freechess.org? If so, do you want to get together to play some team games for the purposes of adding hard data to this discussion?
My blitz rating is in the high 1200s. My teammate should have a blitz rating close to that to make the data valuable. I play 8-minute games, and am not interested in playing enough non-blitz games to get my rating to be an accurate reflection of my (individual) skill. (Non-blitz games would take too much time and take too much out of me. “Non-blitz” games are defined as games with at least 15 minutes on the clock for each player.)
I envision the team being co-located while playing, which limits my teammate to someone who is or will be in San Francisco or Berkeley.
I’ve played a little “team chess” before. Was a lot of fun.
