Kia Ora

Hi from New Zealand.
Just thought I would make my first post to say that I am glad that I
"found" this site and I enjoy reading the posts here.
Are there any other NZers out there?
Anyway, keep it up guys - I am open to challenges.
Cheers
John

welcome john

Hi John. You're not, by any chance, playing at ChessWorld as well? I'm
playing a new Zealander there, Frogspawn. Jan

Yes, thats me!
Cheers
John

Whaw, John! The Web-world is a small place, isn't it? I take this
opportunity to say'Sorry', for playing you so slowly at CW, but I'm
playing there in a tournament (#1553), 10-play-all in a double-round-
robin with a (for me, at least) 'hellish' 2-day time-limit. But you'll here
from me there tomorrow.
PS: Has your nick 'Kia Ora' a meaning, or did you just make it up? I'm
wondering... Jan

Hi Jan. Don't worry about our game - I am in no hurry. A 2 day time
limit in a tournament would be murder for me too.
Kia Ora is simply a Maori greeting, the equivalent of Hello or Bonjour.
Cheers
John
