Hmmm...we go 2-1 in the playoff RR for team champs and get fucked out of advancing to the final 8 based on tiebreak. Team tourney also started 1:35 late mainly due to issues setting these funny Euro chess clocks.

Hmmm.. WSOB has 74 players and was sked to start at 4 which was moved to 5 since a couple players hadn't shown up. When I queried why things weren't ready to go at 4 (noting that I'd rushed off the beach) I was told by a staff member that "some people have to work and not everyone is a millionaire who can spend all his time playing BG"

The main today started at 5:40 and frankly I almost withdrew after that comment.

Hmm..I wish I had as luck of the draw I play the same Georgian who drilled me in MC and who I drilled last night in teams. Well I lost 1 match to two and quite frankly hope I can play someone else this trip.

Hmm...bad luck in the draw..it happens..bad luck with dice..LOL it happens and last for years sometimes.. hmmm very delayed start times ..well it shouldn't happen.

People say this game is dieing.. I don't agree..but a good way to keep it going is to run it ON TIME
