everyone a chance to play.

These are the actual participants of this one:

Moos,
adp,fast phill,
monkfist,
robmtchl,
diggerdogwoofwoof,
Chess One,
ivan888,
Inconnux

I'm just about to pull a fast one on fast phil, and diggerdog is also fast
out of the gate )

OTOH, in other games I'm about to lose 50 ratings points in 2 very shakey
games, unless I can sleeze my way out of it (

Phil

This is a very fun thing to do, and I am deep into it, having played lots of
moves - and for your amusement am probably worse in two games, though
massively better in two others. I f I win all my games I can probably win 5
points, but if I lose I will lose 100!

Technically Rob Mitchell cannot start another tourney till this one is over,
so if other people would like to play against each other, I, or a couple
other people in the list below who are members, could start another one. I
think there is a provision to invite some amount of guests, but I don't know
how many people I can usher in under this basis, and each player might need
a different sponsor [from list below]. Do you know answer to that Rob?

The thing of it is, various outsiders joined in this one, so if there is
enough interest, and quick responses to invitations, we could keep the
tourny much to ourselves.

Though outsiders are fun@ I am talking with a Swiss person about Swabishche,
a sort of looney-German speech, and with a fellow limey about London's chess
scene.

Who is willing to start another tournament ? We werent able to Get
Matt, Grant, Randy or Vinny enrolled before the tournament started.

Phil is much better in all of his games against me as is everyone else!
I have to let you know that Angelo is also kicking my butt and taunting
me as he does it! He is a great guy to play chess with. Innocux is
also a great competitor and I am learning a lot from my play with them.
I have to say I think there is no better way to get to know people than
like this over a chess board.
