Anybody playing in next season of lichess4545?

[kind tree]

Ima make a team dm me if you’re interested it starts in like 3 weeks (get your classical lichess rating unprovisional it’s a requirement)
FYI looking for slightly less strong ppl now so don’t be shy

[livid ravine]

What is Lichess4545?

[kind tree]

45+45 team battle

google.com exists fyi

[wooden salmon]

@kind tree I’m down

[livid ravine]

Thanks for the information, but what does google.com have to do with Lichess4545

[kind tree]

Copypaste lichess4545 into google.com

fine I’ll explain: it’s an 8 round (1 a week) Swiss tournament with teams playing teams and a variety of skill levels

idrk how much control u get over your teams but we can request to be on each others team and I think they grant the requests

[livid ravine]

Hehehe

I'm intrested in playing

[wooden salmon]

I’m down to be on team fizz

[sudden heart]

Isn't this like months away? The current season is in a fairly early round I thought. I play in this, would be down to join a team

Actually I guess we are in round 7 already somehow, I feel like the season just started

[kind tree]

no it’s about 4 weeks away I’m just giving people time to see who wants to join

[wooden salmon]

Fizzy, can I be on your team?

I’m good with psychological warfare in chess, and I can join your ror2 cult

[livid ravine]

cult is a good word

[kind tree]

are u interesting in joining? I’m not sure how the whole team creation thing works

[paper dock]

is it time for me to grind classical?

[wooden salmon]

Yeah join me and fizzy

[kind tree]

u should it’ll be good practice

[sudden heart]

I could join but we would have to have an average rating close to the other teams and I think there would be a lot of competition for board 1. The board 1 range is like 2100+

[kind tree]

What’s the average supposed to be?

[wheat cradle]

damn people actually play in this

[kind tree]

Do you happen to know the average of the current season so that I can plan for team creation?

[paper dock]

yeah

we can purposefully lose some to get to the avarage rating

[kind tree]

dawg

[kind tree]

Average rating is about 1890

b1-b8 averages are as follows

b1: 2150+ ish (camu ?)
b2:2060ish
b3: 2000ish
b4: 1890ish
b5: 1820ish
b6:1750ish (noobiest)
b7: 1680ish
b8:1500ish

This is unprovisional lichess classical

[wooden salmon]

Am I on 3 boards at once? I’m down, could play 3 games at the same time

Yo @rare zephyr you want to play lichess4545 with us?

[rare zephyr]

What is that

[wooden salmon]

Classical league of 45+45 games

[rare zephyr]

When

[wooden salmon]

Couple of weeks from now

[rare zephyr]

What do i get if i win

[wooden salmon]

I give you a virtual fist bump

Idk, we get mentioned in lichess blog posts or something

It’s fun

[wooden salmon]

I’d be between B5-B6

[rare zephyr]

ig i be b2-b3 if i played

kinda sweaty to play 45+45 online

m

[wooden salmon]

You need a nonprovisional classical rating

Which you started to get by playing me the other day

[rare zephyr]

Lol so i'd be technically b7 if it's going by classical rating?

[wooden salmon]

Yeah. Fun

Not sweaty at all

[rare zephyr]

i don't want a snoozefest victory

[wooden salmon]

Then grind some online classical

[rare zephyr]

maybe i should play blind

[wooden salmon]

I’m also underrated tbh

[wooden salmon]

Don’t throw

[rare zephyr]

i'd still win with little effort tho

h

[wooden salmon]

Don’t play blind

Just play weekly classical and gain some rating or smth

[rare zephyr]

Hell na

You'd have to pay me to get me to play online classical seriously

[wooden salmon]

Eh worth a shot

[livid ravine]

Id also be able to play more than one board

[livid ravine]

I could probably be board 4,5 or 6. Just tell me if I should play poorly or not

[paper dock]

Never play poorly fr

[paper dock]

I’ll get there once I stop being provisional

[livid ravine]

Okay

[kind tree]

Y’all stop immediately once you’re unprovisional and tell me your classical rating okay?

[livid ravine]

Yes sir
Roger that

[kind tree]

fyi thank you for offering to join but it seems like you are extremely strong, and camu is my bestie and also very stronk and I wouldn’t feel comfortable asking him to sandbag so unfortunately I don’t think it works out

but we’ll see u there

[paper dock]

he could just sandbag

[tepid lance]

I will join perchance

[wooden salmon]

1780

[kind tree]

thankq

[kind tree]

Alr bestie tell me what your classical is once you know if you’re playing or not u have like 3 weeks to decide

[tepid lance]

The matching time is real

[kind tree]

wut

[tepid lance]

It takes some time to get a game

https://lichess.org/dLscXjXJ/black we up tho

[kind tree]

we could prolly play each other

then we both stay low

[tepid lance]

Is that allowes

[kind tree]

well actually that’s not rly needed

[kind tree]

idk 😭

ima play one or two now tho

[kind tree]

@pale gyro @feral fossil @stable bronze

For more conversations about this later

if u have questions

[tepid lance]

I don't even need to sandbag to get a low rating rahhh

[pale gyro]

whats lichess4545

[kind tree]

https://www.lichess4545.com/team4545/season/38/document/faq/

@hardy sparrow Idk if u wanna throw your classical but

[stable bronze]

@kind tree just tell me how much to throw

[pale gyro]

how do i sign up

for season 39

and how should i train

and should i train

[kind tree]

just wait registration starts in 2.5 weeks

[kind tree]

don’t need to

Gato do u have a lichess account?

[pale gyro]

yeah

[kind tree]

ok get your lichess classical unprovisional

[pale gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/byuntear-sad-sad-cat-cat-meme-gif-25617057

excuse me

I need to play

over 30+0 games

20 hours

or 20 days of one 30+0 game per day

okay

[kind tree]

?

Games will take like 10 minutes average if u play fastish plus most ppl are very bad and lose râleur

Early

10*15 games is like 150 minutes of your time in 3 weeks

[tepid lance]

that's like 1 serious 45+45 game

[pale gyro]

whats a decent classical ratings on lichess

[kind tree]

Idk

doesn’t matter

Just play

[stable bronze]

Anybody below 2200 is shit

So doesnt matter

[kind tree]

preferably bad bc we need lower boards

[stable bronze]

And board 1 is like 2200

[kind tree]

@pale gyro

[pale gyro]

dawg

ngl i dont even care you guys are using me for easier boards cuz i get to play higher rated guys

so its a win win

and i get to play longer games

[kind tree]

i just need people

And everyone who keeps asking is like 2200

[pale gyro]

lol

[pale gyro]

do i join the kickoff arena

[kind tree]

Sure if u want

When is that?

[pale gyro]

2 weeks from now

march 23rd

thats around a family bday tho so i might not show

[paper dock]

so just let them sandbag

i dont see the problem

[feral fossil]

I need to make it believable

[hardy sparrow]

which boards are available

[paper dock]

The tournament is in 2.5 weeks no? The page says u need to create the team 2 weeks before

[hardy sparrow]

i can play bd 8

[stable bronze]

[hardy sparrow]

only a little bit of sandbagging

no one will notice

[kind tree]

Registration starts in 2.5 weeks

Tournament starts in April

[paper dock]

As long as u get the classical rating unprovisional

To a low level

[wooden salmon]

Get the other ratings to a lower level too

Or make a new account and play there

[kind tree]

FYI camu is gonna be b1 for sure so if your rating happens to be decreasing rapidly u need less than 2060 prob

[wooden salmon]

I can be board 5 or 6

Whatever is needed

I’m underrated in classical which is good

[kind tree]

hey y’all ima make a gc so I can check progress and stuff and ask questions

[wheat cradle]

can I join the gc as moral support

[kind tree]

no

[kind tree]

U need to accept my friend rq fyi

@wet warren

[dreamy dragon]

Fizzy i could be your teammate

[dreamy dragon]

I'll unprovisional my classical rating tn trust

[paper dock]

Fizzy if they pick the teams doesn’t that mean i could be shoved into a different team

:(

[kind tree]

Caissa we already have like 6 2200+ lichess strength players asking to join : (

At this point I have enough people interested to make my own league

[kind tree]

Yeah it could happen idk : (

[paper dock]

If that happens im gonna quit

:(

Cause it’d be unfair if i dont get paired on fizzys team and then destroy ur board 1

[kind tree]

Mmhm definitely

[dreamy dragon]

😭but we're besties

I'm also a team player i just won a trophy at a team tournament a few weeks ago

🥺

[feral fossil]

"best solo performance"

[dreamy dragon]

My team won best u2000 in the east amateur teams

Beating out a 2196 avg rating team in the final round

[kind tree]

I knowww : (

[paper dock]

Just get ur classical low and sandbag

[glacial lantern]

Me!

[kind tree]

yay

[kind tree]

Sus do u wanna request to be on our team? I’m not really sure who’s playing but I think me and Camu 100%. I got so much interesting that me and went are maybe planning something so that everyone that was interested can still do something

[glacial lantern]

Aye

[kind tree]

Sus have u played in it before?

[glacial lantern]

Four times ish

[kind tree]

Ah cool

[wooden salmon]

I’m down

[kind tree]

Noobiest do u think u can get your classical up a bit I think u and sus would be playing same board rn

And should be fairly ez to gain like 40ish rating

[glacial lantern]

What's their rating

[kind tree]

noobiest is currently 1780 and u are currently 1734 classical

[glacial lantern]

Ah

[kind tree]

So it looks like y’all would be both be pretty close to b6, I think we’re all a little more likely to be on the same team if he gains a little rating

[glacial lantern]

Indeed

[wooden salmon]

Sus what’s your blitz/rapid?

[glacial lantern]

Rapid 1810

Blitz is irrelevant. I don't play it

(1500ish I think)

[wooden salmon]

My blitz used to be 2k and my rapid is 1800 something, so I should probably be b5

[glacial lantern]

Er wait I'm at just under 1800 rapid

Yh

[wooden salmon]

I’ll do a little grinding

[kind tree]

ye

b1: 2150+ ish (camu)
b2:2060ish (1cbb)
b3: 2000ish (fizzy)
b4: 1890ish (winwin) (skelly?)
b5: 1820ish (noobiest)
b6:1750ish (sus)
b7: 1680ish
b8:1500ish

This is unprovisional lichess classical

[glacial lantern]

I'm probably taking b6?

[wooden salmon]

https://lichess.org/P5FuNURqcanl

[glacial lantern]

Yh

[kind tree]

Ya I think so

[glacial lantern]

Wait fizzy what's your rating again?

[tepid lance]

Using my 30+0 time to take a dump

[glacial lantern]

Wait Winwin what're you at?

I thought you were around my level?

[tepid lance]

2k rapid but my classical is 1760 rn

unprovisionalizing it

[kind tree]

I’m unprovisionalizing classical rn as well

[glacial lantern]

Ah

[kind tree]

I’m 2150ish in rapid rn

[glacial lantern]

Slay

[kind tree]

Winwin where are u stopping?

[tepid lance]

when unprovisional

[kind tree]

Are u planning for b4 or b3?

[tepid lance]

what

oh

[kind tree]

board 4 or board 3

[tepid lance]

I don't think I can b3

[kind tree]

Oki oki I’ll stop around 2K

I lowkey used to be like 2050 but I lost a ton of rating zerking in the arena lol

[tepid lance]

why does bro not resign

finally

[glacial lantern]

lol

[hardy sparrow]

do you want me as 2 or 3?

[kind tree]

I think 2

[pale gyro]

wait

how do we make the teams then

[kind tree]

Gato just get your lichess classical unprovisional

[pale gyro]

alr

[pale gyro]

ima play like a game a day

i just won the first game

[kind tree]

oki doki

Also we need u like 1680ish

So

just be bad like usual

[pale gyro]

should i be above 1680 or below preferably

[kind tree]

Like around there

below prob

Just play like 6 games at once

[pale gyro]

it only takes 6 games to get unprov in classical?

dang

im 1689 rn but its prov

plus only after one game

[kind tree]

It’s like 12 or 15 idk

[paper dock]

took about 14 for me

[hardy sparrow]

is there a gc for this

[paper dock]

this is the gc

@kind tree and yeah ill probably be around 2300

[kind tree]

Im still waiting till I know for sure who is playing it might be after registration tbh

[glacial lantern]

Mhm

Actually fizzy we need to decide before registration pops up

[kind tree]

yes i know registration Is 3/25 or so

[wet warren]

It looks like the 2000+ slots are taken so will there likely be enough for an entire second team?

[dreamy dragon]

we can be a team dily

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-duck-hq-gif-14135789286957337379

[wet warren]

We ball

What if we got an NCS team together as well? 😮

[dreamy dragon]

[livid ravine]

That would be cool

Im down to play on both teams

[wet warren]

They're adding my feature to chessable 💪

There will soon be the ability to do Chessable reviews in random order, making doing tactics from a book with themed chapters a little better

You can do it the first time knowing the order/motifs involved and then switch it over to random after

[kind tree]

noice noice

[wet warren]

Oops wrong server but cool nonetheless

[kind tree]

heh

[normal valley]

[glacial lantern]

Not allowed

[paper dock]

Get your rating unprovisional

[pale gyro]

what board will I be on if im like 1700li classical

[livid ravine]

i create 2 account 😎

[kind tree]

7

[paper dock]

i might actualy be good at chess

[dreamy dragon]

I mean yeah but I think your other ratings probably say that more no?

[paper dock]

Bullet pales in comparison to classical

Infinitely happier with 2300 classical than 2450 bullet

[dreamy dragon]

I mean sure but even the bullet pool is more competitive than the lichess classical pool

there just arent enough strong peeps playing there

[pale gyro]

what if my classical is like 1800 or 1900

[kind tree]

…

[pale gyro]

why do you want lower boards so bad tho

[kind tree]

all the other boards are filled

b1: 2150+ ish (caissa? Chang? Pika?)
b2:2060ish (1cbb?)
b3: 2000ish (fizzy)
b4: 1890ish (winwin?) (skelly?)
b5: 1820ish (noobiest)
b6:1750ish (sus)
b7: 1680ish
b8:1500ish

This is unprovisional lichess classical

[pale gyro]

wait i dont get the board thing

[kind tree]

They are rating bands

I just estimated the average

[pale gyro]

wait

im still confused

how can the boards be full

[kind tree]

Well they’re not full I just had other people in mind since u were late

And I thought u were gonna be like 1680

[pale gyro]

its in 2 weeks

[kind tree]

yes

[pale gyro]

idk im 1780 rn

[kind tree]

i see

[pale gyro]

we will see how it goes

[kind tree]

Im just saying if you’re too high I don’t think they’ll let us all play on the same team

[glacial lantern]

There's a chance I stay at b7 stuff

Depends on how well I do

[kind tree]

if u want

Uh huh

[glacial lantern]

No I won't do anything on purpose-

I have one game in 4545

[pale gyro]

ohh so there is like teams and you can get a person for each deviation

[kind tree]

kinda

[glacial lantern]

Don't know what my RD is, and I'm at a b7 level rn

If my RD is high, it May well shoot me to b6

[pale gyro]

and you gotta try to spread them out evenly so you cant just have 3 1900s

when the other teams have one 1900, one 1800 and one 1700

[kind tree]

Yeah u can’t stack lids

Mids

[pale gyro]

alr that makes sense

[pale gyro]

is this the chess academy team or smth

[paper dock]

bro other people are gonna face me in b1 and realize im 2400 classical

[kind tree]

There were a couple 2400s

Maybe like 2 or 3

And like 12 2300s

[paper dock]

so im in the tryhard group got it

[pale gyro]

what are the ranges for each board

cuz i think ima end up being in the 1800's or 1900's but you guys already got a couple of those

[hardy sparrow]

who's on b2

for other teams

oh great a bunch of 2100s

[livid ravine]

Am I b7?

[kind tree]

Idek how this is all gonna work tbh it’s not even guaranteed to be on the same team even if we meet all the rating ranges bc the average rating needs to be close to the other teams

[livid ravine]

Damm

[livid ravine]

Damm, is there some other team I could join? I played some classical and my rating is close to 1800 b5

Damm I say a lot of damm
Damm it

[kind tree]

I’m working on an alternate idea for those that are unable to play but you can always ofc join another team and it’s not even guaranteed that everyone that I listed will be put on the same team due to the average rating

It’ll be easier to organize once everyone is unprovisional

[paper dock]

Oh shit is my rating too high

[kind tree]

nah ur fine

[paper dock]

But I’m 2435

[kind tree]

Dw Dw

[dreamy dragon]

[dreamy dragon]

Bro idk how tf you do it, i only ever get 2000s when I'm queueing and it takes like 5 minutes

[kind tree]

challenge people on leaderboard

[dreamy dragon]

I've only gotten around to playing 2 games so far, it's a slow grind

[paper dock]

I just waited till I saw open challenges on lobby

[kind tree]

Yeah classical online so boring

[kind tree]

ah nice

[dreamy dragon]

Interesting, ig i could try farming some boosted classical noobs

[kind tree]

Maybe against good ops I would be interested

[dreamy dragon]

I like it when I'm playing training games with strong players, it sucks though in the pool because the lc classical pool doesn't have strong players

[kind tree]

Yeah exactly

[dreamy dragon]

Like bro there's not a single gm title on the leaderboard

[paper dock]

I’m strong :)

Most titled players in the classical pool are strong and good practice

[dreamy dragon]

You played for like 5 games and made it to 9th on the leaderboard 😭😭😭

That says a lot

[kind tree]

Nah he played like 20

A bit différent

[paper dock]

32

I won 30

[kind tree]

oh yeah way different

[paper dock]

[dreamy dragon]

Jesus he's a full time lc classical professional

[hardy sparrow]

i gotta drop my classical to compensate for camusi's 2400

[hardy sparrow]

https://lichess.org/@/camusi

what happened here

[kind tree]

welp b1 up for grabs y’all

@dreamy dragon

[dreamy dragon]

lol

If I could find some god damn games maybe I could get my rating out of provisional lmao

I queued for 30 minutes yesterday and got jack shit

😭

[wooden salmon]

Do you want to play me?

[dreamy dragon]

whats your classical rating at rn?

[wooden salmon]

1764

I can always play more to gain some rating though

[dreamy dragon]

if u get up to like 1900 then sure

[wooden salmon]

I probably can’t beat you tbh

But ok

[dreamy dragon]

well yeah but currently with like a 400 elo gap I get maybe a couple points, the risk reward isnt there, I could certainly throw a draw

[wooden salmon]

If you need some games you can also join a classical Swiss tourney

I’m joining one now

Or weekly classical on Fridays

[dreamy dragon]

do I have to play all 5 rounds of this?

[wooden salmon]

No

You can play as many or as few as you want

[dreamy dragon]

@wooden salmon what happened

[kind tree]

Caissa I can play u just lemme play a few so that my rd is low when I lose

[dreamy dragon]

lol

my rd is through the roof

[kind tree]

heh

How are u not getting names at 2150

[dreamy dragon]

bro idk

maybe its because I was queueing 30 minutes with increment

but 30+0 is just disgusting

[kind tree]

just q 15 15 and 30 0

U can try at the same time on separate browsers plus look for open challenges

[dreamy dragon]

ic

[hardy sparrow]

mine is 182

i only played 8 games

[dreamy dragon]

[dreamy dragon]

ive only played 3 rated classical games since I started trying to get it unprovisional for this

[glacial lantern]

1...157

My god

[dreamy dragon]

apparently ive played 37 rated classical games total, which ig makes sense considering ive played in a few discord leagues

[dreamy dragon]

https://lichess.org/FbCaoXzS/black

he wasnt ready for the qgd preppies

[dreamy dragon]

https://lichess.org/bsAsGdhn/white

classic paint by number attack

my favorite

[kind tree]

very nice

I play this h3 a bit later this f3 0-0-0 stuff looks nice I shall give it a try

[dreamy dragon]

it's really tough for them to directly attack my king with the pawn on a5 but on the other hand it's hard to go for some sort of a6-b5 attack because of some b4 stuff

[fickle raptor]

1500 interested in joining 🙋‍♂️

[wooden salmon]

@kind tree

[hardy sparrow]

my rating may have gotten a little higher due to provisional

https://lichess.org/@/U1CBC/perf/classical

[kind tree]

💀

[fickle raptor]

Am I too late?

[wooden salmon]

No

Starts in a couple weeks

Just ping fizzy

[kind tree]

no, just get your lichess classical rating unprovisional and tell us what it’s at

[fickle raptor]

1505 not provisional 👍

[kind tree]

oh sweet ok I’ll put you in. So fyi the moderators create the teams but if we meet the rating bands and the average rating there’s a good chance most of us will be on the same team. It starts in like a week or so

[fickle raptor]

Anything I need to do on my end?
My Lichess is NicLvn
What if in 3-4 weeks my rating goes up?

[kind tree]

probably just try to keep your rating stable near 1500 unless u gain like 200 elo it should be fine

[fickle raptor]

Ok
Do I need to do anything else? Or just check back here in a week?

[kind tree]

nah ur good

[fickle raptor]

Ty

[hardy sparrow]

can i cook with these board and pieces

[glacial lantern]

my god wtf is that

[dreamy dragon]

😭😭

I'd rather play blindfold

[pale gyro]

Agreed

[wooden salmon]

@kind tree at 1720 because I suck at classical. Should I grind rating or drop a little by playing more?

[kind tree]

Dawg just drop further now lol

b1: 2150+ ish (caissa. Pika?)
b2:2060ish (1cbb?)
b3: 2000ish (fizzy)
b4: 1890ish (winwin?) (skelly?)
b5: 1820ish (open)
b6:1750ish (sus)
b7: 1680ish (noobiest)
b8:1500ish (niclvn)

This is unprovisional lichess classical

Or just stay

idk

@dreamy dragon are u unprovis?

[glacial lantern]

Wild

[neon quiver]

are you sure they will let a team of new players play in the same team

[kind tree]

I do not know at all

We’re gonna try and see what happens

[neon quiver]

virtually all of you can be underrated which would create a big imbalance

im pretty sure everyone til board four is stronger than me and i pulled 2200+ in there

[glacial lantern]

then again it's easy to overperform if you respond well to pressure

(and convince yourself that its there lmao)

[dreamy dragon]

yeah

[kind tree]

@livid ravine keep playing classical i think we can prob fit u in between b2-b4

[wooden salmon]

So play more?

[narrow hound]

@kind tree can I join?

[kind tree]

I think we’re pretty full you’re a bit late but ima do an alternate thing for all the people that weren’t able to join so

[kind tree]

idek

[neon quiver]

alternates arent related to any team

[kind tree]

no were just all gonna request to be on the same team once I know who our 7 or 8 people are

[neon quiver]

i meant if theres more than 8 people

[kind tree]

I assumed nobody would want to play as an alternate

i guess that is a possibility

[neon quiver]

but also your classical rating and the more closed 4545 classical rating is different so im not sure if that will be possible

the registrations should be public soon tho

i registered as either a team member or alternate

[kind tree]

what do u mean

Isn’t it just an unprovisional classical rating that is required

[neon quiver]

i mean that 30+0 (which i assume is your preffered tc) is different to regular 45 45 players

[neon quiver]

it is, but i hope u see a difference between a single new person joinging into a random team and a whole team of new players

you guys could all be underrated by a few hundred points for all they know

teams should be created next week so once everyone gets a slack invite u can ask the mods there

[kind tree]

Ofc

[kind tree]

That’s not my problem

[neon quiver]

but since its possible to get classical rating from berserked 20+10 arenas, u can imagine that its hard to manage a lot of first time players who have unstable ratings

[kind tree]

I understand but that’s not my problem

[neon quiver]

it can be a problem in general

[kind tree]

but not mine tho

[neon quiver]

which is why they may be unable to make a team like this

[kind tree]

Yeah we’ll see

Im just hoping they can get like at least 5 of us on the same team

[neon quiver]

[neon quiver]

[kind tree]

oki i shall ask

[livid ravine]

No, I wouldn't be able to fit in the team

[kind tree]

No u can noobiest fell down like 3 boards and it’s a little more clear who is playing

[feral fossil]

[kind tree]

Oh sick nah stay near there

Once you’re unprovis tell me your rating

[livid ravine]

[wooden salmon]

This is unprovisional lichess classical

Pikachu is TarmoNopee

Winwin is InwWinZa

I am CALVlN

The other four names are above with thumbs up reactions

[tepid lance]

im InwWinZa

[kind tree]

Oops

[kind tree]

Winwin u think u can get close to 2k

Lowkey i was supposed to do that but I couldn’t be asked

i can still do it prob just need 2-3 more games

Or maybe 5 idk

Ok ima give the last spot to milu one of us can climb to 2K prob if need be or it might be fine

[tepid lance]

can I even get 2k

[kind tree]

yes

Ur good

Just play the bad players in the pool

[tepid lance]

my opponent is actually thinking

[kind tree]

TarmoNopee, Rathotdog, YAKO960, CALVlN, InwWinZa, SuspendedSeventh, TheNoobiestNoob, NicLvn

U can copy paste that for the team members minus your own name

https://www.lichess4545.com

[kind tree]

@ Milu u might want to wait to register till you’re unprovisional but yeah

Everyone else is good to go

[narrow hound]

Ok

[wooden salmon]

Ok done

[tepid lance]

1935 unprovisional

I don't think I have the time to grind 2k

[kind tree]

nice work nice work that’s prob good enough

[narrow hound]

@kind tree I think I will have one problem that is to fix the timing as I can only plan to play at 5PM UTC, probably most of the day and well on Sunday I can play at around 9-10AM UTC
about provisional I can get rid of it within the time

Mostly busy with work

[neon quiver]

https://lichess.org/tournament/4545se39 if u guys need some extra games

[feral fossil]

[kind tree]

@fickle raptor @feral fossil @dreamy dragon make sure to register and mention all teammate names

TarmoNopee, Rathotdog, YAKO960, CALVlN, InwWinZa, SuspendedSeventh, TheNoobiestNoob, NicLvn

[fickle raptor]

Okay registered with the names

[hardy sparrow]

guess im out of it then, good luck to everyone else playing

[kind tree]

Yeah bruh I’m not making u throw from 2200 to 2000 plus u weren’t playing

[dreamy dragon]

Oke

[narrow hound]

@kind tree will it work?

Still provisional though

[sudden heart]

Can't be provisional for 4545 league, at least not for your first season joining.
I'm still interested if there's perhaps a second potential team from CA.

I haven't registered for the new season yet but plan to

[narrow hound]

Hmm ok I will play more games

[dreamy dragon]

ok i registered

[neon quiver]

if this season works out ill try to register next time with my normal account

[kind tree]

I have enough people probably do u want their ids and stuff I can’t vouch for credibility or anything though

[sudden heart]

Well...i guess not if I can't be sure of credibility. A fair few first time players end up getting banned or not allowed to enter for one reason or another.

[little raven]

how do I join

im registered just not for any team in particular

[kind tree]

What’s your classical at?

[little raven]

2000 about

[kind tree]

I can see who I have that I can vouch for

[kind tree]

Ok i think we’re full for that spot but u can join mediocratic

[little raven]

ic

[little raven]

can I join your team?

[sudden heart]

We can put each other as people we'd like to play with but there's no guarantees

[little raven]

whats your lichess user

mine is KKing23

[kind tree]

mediocratic would u like me to ping the people I can vouch for that were interested?

[sudden heart]

Mediocratic

Fizzy - sure! Thanks!

[kind tree]

@livid ravine @hardy sparrow @wanderer913 @stable bronze @wet warren @sudden heart @shadow granite @pale gyro is also fielding a team if you are interested. Unfortunately I think my team is full

[pale gyro]

i dont think ima play

there is too many ppl at my range that id be at

[kind tree]

no

what do u mean

[feral fossil]

Do i need to be unprovisional before doing this

[kind tree]

Ya get unprovis preferably

it will be required by April 1st

[feral fossil]

So thats when i need to be registered by

[kind tree]

ya

[feral fossil]

Do you know how many games i need to play for it to get unprovisional

[kind tree]

u need your rating deviation to be below 110 I believe

I believe 12 to 15 games

Maybe less

[feral fossil]

Well if i lose games i think im gonna drop to like 2000 or 1960

[kind tree]

Just don’t lose

Ur good

[feral fossil]

But then i will go back to like 2140

[fickle raptor]

Any advice for the 1500? It's going to be my first season playing 45+45 but the plan is improvement. How should I use all that time?

[wooden salmon]

Spend 30+ seconds thinking about your move, then 15+ seconds thinking about what your opponent wants

[wooden salmon]

@kind tree I lost a game because of cheat detected years ago (I wasn’t cheating) and have been banned before (still wasn’t cheating). Guess that means I can’t play, sorry

[kind tree]

Damn sucks man

[kind tree]

We’ll help u prep prolly just don’t be too worried and take all the time u need it’s all for fun

[wooden salmon]

I’m using discord to appeal

[fickle raptor]

🤜🤛

[tepid lance]

Shit does it show my email in slack

I should have created a burner

[kind tree]

uh

shit i need to check mine as well

[neon quiver]

you can change settings to not display that i think

[kind tree]

oki oki

[dusk crane]

@kind tree hey, any spots left?

[narrow hound]

@kind tree finally done

Provisional lifted

hopefully it can last for a week

[fickle raptor]

Anyone up for a casual practice game? Any rating is fine

[sudden heart]

From this list we have the following usernames: The_Skeleton U1CBC Davidchang241 dilybob4 imkurkure Mediocratic
If anyone wants to request any of us to try to join a team we can all put each other on the registration form at https://lichess4545.com
However multiple people do not have an established classical rating so if you're interested you need to get that
I couldn't find a lichess profile for @pale gyro and they may not be interested anyway?

[kind tree]

I am not sure skeleton wants to play as well fyi

Most of these people asked to join with the intention of being on a team with me, so I am not sure how many of them will be interested as well

[pale gyro]

i was going to end up being around 1800 li

and there is already enough of those

[kind tree]

No, gato, it is an entirely new team. There is no space issues.

[pale gyro]

oh

last i checked there was like 4 guys on the list of possibilities that were 1800 li

[kind tree]

It’s a totally new team

No issues with needing to be a certain rating

[little raven]

yo what about me gang

[hallow mica]

When is the deadline of forming the team?

[kind tree]

April 1st is when it starts

Registration is open rn

[hallow mica]

How long is it going to last?

[kind tree]

I believe two months one game per week

[hallow mica]

I thought about trying it before but my situation is just a bit... Unstable. So i think i'll have to pass

[kind tree]

oh this wasn’t what I was referring to btw

[hallow mica]

I'm not quite following

[kind tree]

There’ll be an announcement soon. I have an alternate thing planned for all of the people who were not able to join lichess4545

[hallow mica]

Oh ok. I'll wait for the announcement then

[neon quiver]

the teams are published tomorrow, parings roll out a week after

[kind tree]

oh sick

[neon quiver]

idk if registrations close tomorrow

but iirc alternates cant late join

so if u wanna be an alternate nows the best chance to register

[sudden heart]

Alternates can definitely join late...if you join late you are automatically an alternate

[sudden heart]

I wasn't given your name but if you register and put me down we might end up on a team

[kind tree]

I can vouch for him too

[tepid lance]

@kind tree ayy

[narrow hound]

@tepid lance hello

how can I join?

[tepid lance]

https://www.lichess4545.com/team4545/ register here

We won’t be in the same team tho. We tried to do that, but I’m only with fizzy

[hardy sparrow]

https://lichess.org/zg4waMZleNoD

this guy's 2300

[kind tree]

huh well I’m happy we’re on a team but why don’t I see anyone else on any team?

[glacial lantern]

I'm on 14. Made it on b5 somehow

[tepid lance]

You're gonna play fizzy lol

[sudden heart]

I ended up on the team with @little raven

https://www.lichess4545.com/team4545/season/39/player/rathotdog/ I see that Caissa is registered but doesn't have a team? Also doesn't appear in alternates list? Did you join the slack @dreamy dragon

same with @narrow hound https://www.lichess4545.com/team4545/season/39/player/yako960/

if you registered but didn't get a team, and aren't on the slack, that's probably why. if you join the slack you can still play as an alternate

[tepid lance]

bit sad innit

[glacial lantern]

maybe

[kind tree]

Ohhh shoot oh well

It’s what it’s

[dreamy dragon]

Uhh

😭

[tepid lance]

Mr calvin you have to change your slack display name to your lichess username

[narrow hound]

I joined the slack btw

[kind tree]

Oops lemme do dat rq

[fickle raptor]

How do you know if you made it on a team?

[tepid lance]

check email. did you join slack?

[fickle raptor]

No I'll download it rn

Yeah nothing in email

Ok just signed up

[sudden heart]

If you weren't on the Slack you weren't added to a team, I'm pretty sure it says that when you register too or at least when your registration is approved in the email

You can still be an alternate though. you may have to ask the moderators to add you, or it might be automatic once you've joined up, not sure

[pale gyro]

ill just join next season

i got other stuff to do

[neon quiver]

just checked out of curiosity and u guys have a strange team

one of the strongest boards 1, 3 and 4

and one of the weakest boards 2, 5-8

[tepid lance]

Whose

I guess you mean 4-5 which is fizzy and I

[neon quiver]

theres only u, fizz and sus that got in right

but yeah i meant yours

and ur board 1 plays 25+0 to get that rating

[tepid lance]

Sus is one team below us

[neon quiver]

if u guys play next season i should be able to join too

but i withdrew entirely even from being an alternate because school

[glacial lantern]

Teams with these imbalances are usually excellent

[tepid lance]

lesgo sus

[fickle raptor]

I got in team 41 👏

[glacial lantern]

Mhm! Shame my team is silent

[tepid lance]

It's so over

[kind tree]

Our b8 😭😭

[glacial lantern]

what happened

[kind tree]

just played quickly and lost quickly

[pale gyro]

DW fizzy

I will be there next season

Then we gonna win

[kind tree]

oki dokie buddy

[pale gyro]

With that gato wisdom ganamos

[kind tree]

Unfortunately it was only me and winwin if I had been less lazy and gotten up to b3 or told caissa and Milu to sign up on slack we would have a better team

I trust our b1 at least

[glacial lantern]

Oh rough

[glacial lantern]

Next year?

[pale gyro]

when is next season applications

[kind tree]

In like 1.5-2 months?

U need to sign up for slack

[pale gyro]

nah

ill just wait until next season

because that will be during my summer break

[neon quiver]

4 more rounds? so probably around early-mid june

[kind tree]

Yeah ik for next season

[tepid lance]

@kind tree @glacial lantern

[glacial lantern]

Yup

[tepid lance]

[Team]

[tepid lance]

[sturdy lichen]

Oh

[sturdy lichen]

It's showing me this...

[tepid lance]

This season ends tuesday 28 May ig s40 registration hasn't started

[sturdy lichen]

Okayy

[kind tree]

@simple aspen

[simple aspen]

me

[kind tree]

Hey y’all so this season is about wrapping up, and I’m not sure if I am going to play this coming season but if I do I will try to get a full team again, one thing we need to sign up for slack beforehand or else you’ll just be registered as an alt and again idk how easy it is to get everyone on the same team but if we all request each other probably everyone will have a friend on their team

@dusty wasp

[dusty wasp]

hi

[kind tree]

hi

this is the chat where we were trying to field a full team for li4545

[dusty wasp]

when is li4545

because im a student

so like

if i have homework

that will get in the way

also time zone

[simple aspen]

ive never used slack

also im EU time zone but im down w late hours

[kind tree]

I don’t think the time zones matter u just schedule

[kind tree]

It’s one game a week that’s scheduled beforehand so it might be like 1-2.5 hours a weekish

[tepid lance]

@sturdy lichen

[sturdy lichen]

Apparently I have already registered...

I don't know when

But my name is in there somehow

[tepid lance]

That's the lichess4545 account right

Not register for season 40

[kind tree]

@nocturne birch

@kind tree

[nocturne birch]

are all of yall in like a team or sum

if there is a spot then id be down to join (as an alternate prob)

also whats slack

[kind tree]

idk who’s playing next season

[kind tree]

it’s like discord but worse

it’s how the league communicates and sends out info

[nocturne birch]

do i needa join some slack group

[kind tree]

yes

[nocturne birch]

oh

is there a link somewhere

[kind tree]

idk I forgot how to do it

I think download the app

[nocturne birch]

i am so lost

what the hell

[kind tree]

bro

[nocturne birch]

am i on the right app

i am so confused

[kind tree]

I used the mobile app but uh

[tepid lance]

They will invite you by email

[nocturne birch]

alright

so for now what do i put for this

[kind tree]

we dunno who’s playing at all yet

also u need your lichess classical rating unprovisional by the time it starts so

[nocturne birch]

yeah

2401 classical is wild tho

😭

i might go for top 10 classical actually, 2426 is literally top 10

[kind tree]

You’d be the second highest based on last season

[nocturne birch]

theres someone higher than 2401?

thats wild

[kind tree]

Top guy is #7 on the leaderboard rn

[nocturne birch]

ahhh that guy

[simple aspen]

so who do i put in players id like to be paired with

whos playing

[tepid lance]

I'll skip this season

[charred prawn]

I'm a 1400 chess.com rapid player, would you even want me to enter

[tepid lance]

Good enough

[dusty wasp]

What do winners get

[tepid lance]

0 robux

[dusty wasp]

Okay I’m not playing

[nocturne birch]

wait can you choose the team

like i wanna create a team with certain people

but they are all like 2300+ classical, im guessing that wont be fair 💀

[nocturne birch]

i am

[tepid lance]

You can try but yall won be put in the same team because each players must fall in the rating ranges of boards 1 to 8

[simple aspen]

why dont they just let us make teams smh

its not a competition if the teams are just random

[nocturne birch]

yeah but i guess they want to make it fair

so i won’t be able to play with any 2100+ classical probably

[wide orbit]

I have a question, I have a team of players that want to play lichess4545 on the same team, but we are working on getting our classical established, should we register now, or when we will get our ratings established? Because im worried that organizers will put the ones with established rating on the team, and when others will get their ratings establsihed they will forget about team request and put them wherever

[viral shell]

Idk if it’s still open but

I’m open

[kind tree]

ima prob skip y’all

[sturdy lichen]

Huh?

Why am I reading this now? 😭
