I have put my name forward for the chesspub team as well! So a rematch is not in question at this time. Check this post to find out what Tony means when he says rematch http://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1325737791/4#4

And my problem is that I started to play too many corr. chess games - not only on the ICCF server, but on my own country server (Team Championship Finals...and I'm qualified for the Individual Championship Final which is about to start this year.. Oh, and the next Semi-Finals are supposed to start this year..), as well as on some Russian servers, too.. And I want to participate in our Chess Publishing Glory Team, but I'll do it only if I'm able to play with full strength. (I won't allow myself to be an operator of a chess engine! ) So, who knows?! Maybe the next time?! What Russian corr servers do you play on? I am looking to add a few games on a new server since I am down under 10 games. I have no interest in playing more than 20 games at once anymore though. Well, most of these servers are not ICCF rated, i.e. they have their own (unofficial) ratings. But some of the best Russian corr. chess players are their members. And some of these servers use only Russian language.. http://www.bestlogic.ru/?lang=EN (my favourite) http://chessplanet.ru/ (Russian language interface, but I don't mind it..) http://www.chess-online.ru/ (Russian language only) Edit: I wanted to play on http://www.ficgs.com/ (not a Russian server, but a very good one...and with no official ICCF ratings), but I have no time for it.. Thank you very much. I currently only play on ficgs.com. The first site you listed appears to be English friendly so I might be giving that a whirl soon.

	Well, we don't have to go strictly by rating, but since none of us know each other extremely well, it's a good starting point for ranking team members. We could proceed from there with conversations based on mutual trust. Recently I certainly have not been playing any stronger than 2300 in ICCF competition. More like 2200, actually. I would like to think I'm better than that, since I once was rated over 2400, but my recent results speak for themselves.

I'm rated 2325 on the 2012/2 list. Outstanding.

I have often found the correspondence chess world confounding in that sense. When I do play stronger players, I get to beat them but its so rare that my rating rarely ever moves. Don't you have an OTB rating? OTB ratings are rather irrelevant for Corr.
