The most unbalanced team match ever!

Our group avatar says it all.

that is why I reject their challenge just now, it is not a fair play, just the bowman vs tank.

it is better to play match with them by division, 200 rating gap each.

Wow, props to you guys for going thru with it.

yes cuendillar that one is even worse............The Power of Chess is a strong team, I'm surprised that they agree to matches that end up with such different leveled players playing each other all the time

I think it's nice that they're playing us -> good chance to learn if you're playing an opponent with a rating over 800 points higher than oneself :)

the current team match ranks the board based on the rating, so this super power team will always sent its top 5-20 with 2100+ players to play their opponents whose rating is 2200-1200, then, it become a murder

even  you set a match range 2000-2200, all their players are 2100+, but your side are just a few, and again, it become unfair match.

this is not their mistake, it is the system's mistake, but finally, nobody want to play this team, how unfair !?

That's what I thought, they had plenty of low rateds join but none of them got a chance to play because none of the over 2000's would drop out.  Even some 1600's vs. our 1100 & 1200's would be nice, they'd have some chance at counterplay but the PoC still probably wouldn't have to worry about losing (God forbid).

I wish my opponent in this match would make his move. He's going to time out otherwise (but I will gladly take the win and run with it!).

the match is currently tied!

Unfortunately I think they will win the match.  I'm just amazed we did as well as we did.  Many of their players got banned for cheating which was a boost for us.

any big game (15+) with the group, the premier of all, is incredibly unfair
