But, naturally, sod off f'r gawd's sic! ~ the wine is not included.

Thanks to Checkagain for making this - our first at IVV - Tourny a reality. 😏

Hopefully the first of many.
Still looking for 2 new members....

That corkscrew is mine...!

The band is soo big on the upper one 😞. Wouldn't stand a chance so I'll pass on this one.

Come on, I enter 'normal' tournaments too without any chance of advancing (although I once advanced in one and got in a group the next round with only 1900+ players).

How come two players with a provisional rating are able to join a rating controlled tournament? I thought that was not possible. Looks like at least one of them is most likely a 1500+ player to be... Sigh...

The game's the thing, Aiko ! But you know that.... 😏

😛 If only all of life was ultimately as harmless as this little Backpack Tournament!

As the one00 pointed out, btw, In Vino Veritas still has openings for two new members 😵

Just one spot left.

One spot in the Corkscrew - 30 spots in the Backpack... :'(

😉 And it's such a nice Backpack, too - I tested it and it holds 7 bottles of wine quite comfortably.

Without breaking too many hearts, I would like to point out that I need a corkscrew and will therefore win one, regardless of whether any of you think that you actually stand a chance.

Yes, I do to but I already have to many games going and I don't need more against players 200 points higher than me. Maybe next time.

That's the spirit, Fred! 😛

Good luck to all!😉

Not in the first round, it seems.
