What you should do:

1) Locate your first round opponent in the pairing list above.
2) PM each other to work out who will issue the challenges.
3) Start 2 games with each other, one of each color. Games are 3/7 unless opponents agree to a different time control.
4) PM me the game IDs so I can post links to them in this thread.

Remember the first round usually has the widest gaps in ratings. After round 1 you will play people who have performed similarly.

Good luck to all!
