Sprint Duel 64 Rd 2, XXVI, started hours ago.

(Apologies for not giving details; this site is so damned slow at the moment I'll be fortunate enough to get my gripe in, let alone look it up.)

Group 12 decided already, one move made over two games.

'If the next person drawn against me in a duel contest wants to go through, I'll accept two draws here and now.'

Uggg that is worth tossing them from the tournament in my mind.

You spelled 'toss from the site' wrong. That's some major bull!

It was as much a surprise to me as anyone else. For what it is worth this is the message I got on one of those games:

MP says...
I've got a bit too much on at the moment, so you can have a nice easy bye to the next round,
Good luck
Martin

I certainly didn't suggest this to him. I prefer to play rather than be handed the games on a plate.

Were both games draws, or did you win both? It's not very fair for both to advance when ONE user didn't have time to keep up with a game load.

I thought it was a split draw each. I've got no problem with someone dropping out and you advancing.

Nope, he just resigned both games without even making a move.

Fair comment; obviously not your fault or arrangement.
I'm just tetchy lately...
