This time it wasn't too successful.  Today most people were too busy watching the end of the Kamsky-Topalov game(Kamsky won!) to look at endgames.  Kyrre and I looked a little at the Deep Fritz-Kramnik Berlin endgame before we got distracted with Grunfeld opening ideas in the 7 Bc4 line.

I don't see a way to make the times work out for the U.S. and Europe without doing it on weekends.

I like 10:00AM FICS time(Pacific), 12:00PM Central, 1:00PM Eastern, 6:00PM GMT on Saturday.  Let's do it then.

Are the working group on Endgames working in FICS?

Any timetable to be connected to interactuate?

I am interested, if my agenda is free.

I am in Spain (Europe) GMT+1 if that helps.

mrundersun, Boobyslegacy, and I just finished looking at some Berlin endgame examples from the Cox book.  I didn't see anybody from the ChessPublishing forums today.

Maybe this isn't a good time for it.

I can't normally make it that early.  Most people in the US are still at work at that time.  Perhaps 12:00 PM GMT would work better for most americans and still give us some hope of catching some european night owls.

Hello Blksabb,

Long time no see Smiley  

Count me in.  Any evening (except Wednesdays) is fine with me.

I would be interested in joining, in theory.  However, my time is severely limited right now.  If you get it up and running, let us know!

I'm wondering if anybody is interested in meeting on the Free Internet Chess Server to look at some endgames.  We did this several times before on FICS and it went pretty well.  I would like to look at positions from Endgame Virtuoso Anatoly Karpov or Rate Your Endgame.  We were looking at those before.

Maybe we could choose a day and time like Tuesday evenings but I'm usually on the chess server and ready to look at things at any time.
