I'm alive and still here. There was an internal dispute that I felt like the scapegoat for so I figured my time, energy, and money was better spent elsewhere. Hope you're doing well though!

Cheers - wouldn't say I'm 'back', as I don't have nearly as much time as I used to, but I had the urge to check in recently and it's good to see you and others appearing to be doing well.

Depends. Is it a FIDE approved tournament? (you'd known in the details or in the name). It's still not all that easy to find online tournaments that are 'officially' rated, as cheating is so easy to do online. With that being the case, there are more and more, but unless you are in the US, you need to look for FIDE rated chess tournaments. Play in those and your results will be loaded to FIDE and you'll get a proper rating.

Just decided to log in to see if my account was still active. But yeah, there are a lot of cities trying to get remote workers to move there. I have seen some cities offering free moving services and $10k to move there and stay for 3-5 years at least.

Ha thanks but I'm not back, was just told about this and wanted to help out Coma. So, with Augsburg, the IBAN is an international bank number. For Augsburg, they provided me with their account numbers, and I was able to just set up a wire transfer directly into their accoutn with my Mitiglied # .

Greetings, sir. I have stepped away from the forum while dealing with family things. What do you want to know good sir. the IBAN is a odd process, but I can hopefully answer any questions you may have.

I also miss the Nordiques, even though they were Quebec Rival. I'd say no to another Toronto team. The one they have sucks, they don't need another shit team in the city. I wouldn't mind a team in Hamilton or London, but certainly another Canadian team is needed. I agree. Don't doing anything is a weak man's move, and he was full of shit and a prick for nothing doing more after the meeting. Just another reason to hate the Jets.

This shocks me...really does. Wasn't it him and Coach Q who came out weeks ago and state that they knew nothing about this? If so, he should be banned from the NHL.

I agree it's odd how hard they are trying to NOT move them, but with the success of Vegas and Kraken in terms of attendance and excitement, I wonder if this might slowly change his mind that they need to move the organization to a city that actually likes hockey.

Yeah - but I just remember it so when talking about the city, it just pops into my head they were once the PHX Yotes.

Also, shockingly Habs beat the Sharks last night in San Jose...for the first time since 97 I believe. That is shocking..

Oh, and Quenneville has resigned amid the Blackhawks abuse case. Probably the end of his storied career.

They are technically in Glendale, no? They used to be called Phoenix Coyotes so I stick with that.

@Spike and @Viva la FCB Off topic from the Blackhawks woes, but how much longer do you think the NHL will stick with the Coyotes experiment. Seems like a project that won't be successful long term and I wonder just how much longer Betman is going to work his ass off on keeping the Coyotes in Phoenix.

@nudge and @Coma - let it be known my original post said nothing about relegation or promotion. Just Bremen's upcoming match against the hottest team in the league, which could mean an ugly scoreline this weekend... I assumed that was obvious from my second part where I mention that knowing this league, Bremen could just as likely destroy St. pauli.
