In June of 2009 a kossacks chess tournament was organized. Although the tourney was held on several different websites, many of us played on chess.com. It's free. We formed a group on this website called Kossacks. After the 2009 tournament was over this group was inactive for the next two years. This summer a small group of us became active again. Although we are playing in a small tourney among ourselves, our main activity is to play as a team against other teams in team matches. We are currently about halfway through our first two matches and as you can see if you followed the link, the war is not going well. We need reinforcements. Although it's too late to enter these battles, there are more to come. There are currently 97 Kossacks, but only about 10 of us are active. A thin orange line to hold off the hordes. Join us.
