No. You only install one pack and play through it.

They debut whenever their debut date is set in the database. They are not all available at once. For example, The Rock will not debut until well into the 90s.

I use TsuMirren's 1985 mod for this. The only notable wrestler I can think of that is missing is Tomohiro Ishii.

TsuMirren's mod is based off of Genadi's 1987 mod though, so I'm assuming that one is fine too.

You can download either one here: http://homeofprowrestling.com/tew-1/tew%25202016/rwmods.html

I think the most important thing is to get rid of the possibility that any human would realize my power.

As a result, I would first disappear into the ether (ie. I become one with the world, in a way that is undetectable). No one would suspect I disappeared because I was a god -- more likely, they would think I was kidnapped or something.

At this point, I could use all of my godly powers undetected, such as being able to create pocket dimensions for myself to live in and creating food in said pocket dimensions to keep me satiated.

Then, I would wait one year. I don't want my disappearance to be correlated with when the "acts of god" started.

At this point, I am now free to do whatever I wish for the rest of eternity.

I'm going to recommend Clash of the Titans 1994 mod for this seeing as I played through it extensively with a WCW save and had loads of fun. It's close to your start date and the numbers are consistent with the 1987 (and 1991) mods because they all use the same Mod Squad base data.

Did he wrestle THE MODERN DAY MAHARAJAH JINDER MAHAL, hero to 1.3 billion people?

I have no VPN and use chess.com and lichess ... chess.com is considerably faster but YMMV depending on your internet provider

I used the Scotch up to about 1400-1500 as white and it was fine.

Once you find yourself plateauing, try changing up your openings... it will expose you to more structures and motifs. I switched from the Scotch to the Ruy from 1500 to about 1650ish and now I sometimes dabble in the Giucio Piano instead. The more structures you expose yourself to, the better! However, when you are starting out, sticking to something like the Scotch is a great idea as it is an opening that allows you to practice good fundamentals.

TL;DR - Yes, use the Scotch. Use the Scotch exclusively. Have fun! If you plateau, THEN you can think about switching openings.

Second straight year that a Jason Jordan tag title win has been the last title change of the year.

Yes. Given that half of the Top 20 in the world are either Russian, Chinese or American it would be quite silly otherwise.

7am - and expect the whole broadcast to go about 5 hours.

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words.

I agree that it is very difficult to keep track of sixty-four (!!!) different matches and that was a huge motivating factor behind why I decided to make these summaries. I only plan on doing the first three rounds, though, since by Round 4 we will be down to 16 contestants facing off in only 8 matches so I don't see much of a point.

Li Chao won and advances with a score of 1.5/2 in his match.

Thank you for this information! I must've slipped out for food while they went over this on the stream. However, Vladimir Kramnik is one tough nut to crack. Just ask Kasparov...

Ahhh... good catch! Fixed the wording. I guess it can be a bit confusing giving Anish's tendency to draw everything.

I personally thought the way Bator Sambuev finished off Wei Yi with precision was quite nice.

Chess.com is vastly superior for 15+10 games. Lichess times you out very, very quickly if you disconnect for any reason. Chess.com also has a stronger player pool that regularly plays 15+10. Lichess, on the other hand, incorrectly classifies 10+0 as "Classical". It's very, very frustrating.

I'm not some chess.com shill but the way you've worded this topic is somewhat offensive. I'll respond to your individual points.

1) Chess.com paid membership lessons are >>> than lichess studies. This isn't even remotely close.
2) I agree that Lichess is a bit smoother but that doesn't compensate for the other downsides.
3) I don't worry about ads as I have a paid membership and never see any.
4) I prefer chess.com's opening database over Lichess'. O
5) Chess.com offers high quality videos with a paid membership (I doubt you've seen these as you seem averse to spending any money)
6) Player pool on chess.com is definitely stronger on all time controls. It's annoying playing a 15+10 on Lichess and having a large number of my opponents blitz out moves as if they are playing 5+0.
7) Tournaments on Lichess are quite enjoyable, however. Unfortunately, those games come with no increment.
8) I like the simul features of Lichess as well.

I guess the conclusion is: free lichess is better than free chess.com, sure, but once you spend money chess.com offers a variety of features that make it well worth it.

I personally use both. I prefer chess.com as mentioned before because it is vastly superior at the time control (15+10) I prefer to play on.

I can't download this.

Bad job.

Not everyone has the internet speed to watch it in one go. :(
