Hehe. I had an awful tournament for that, last year. Lost in
seventeen moves in the first round (with the white pieces; ouch), won
in twenty-five in the third (my opponent graciously resigned, down a
piece for a pawn), drew in about the same number of moves in the
fifth. Thankfully, the other two games lasted about forty-five moves
each and I was sleeping on a friend's floor, which must've saved me at
least 50p per move played. :-)
