Hi Nunupal,

It's crazy, I have never had such a large workload for games....
Though, It's unfortunate that we don't get rating points for our opponents timing out within the first 4 moves or so. I crushed 3 skulls today with no point increase. 😛

Man, I've already made several blunders. I feel like I'm playing speed chess just to keep up. But it is fun!

By the way, good games nunupal 😀

I'm not in it. You are the highest rated player in it.

That is correct megamaster, presently I am the highest rated player in this Tournament 11808 but when this tournament started, June 1st, my rating was 1350.

Yesterday it hit a high of 1481, but it's dropping, and I am sure my rating will drop further.

There are alot of good players in this tourney.

The highest rated player doesn't always win the tourney.
Daanv is currently in the lead.

Bootoyou, 76xadres, Sean76, Shane, Phill3000 and others have a great change of winning it all.

So be careful judging someone's ability based on their rating... it could be misleading either way.

A chess friend once said, "There are 2 types of chess players, the humble - and the soon to be humbled." 😀

I think the site was punishing you for your annoying avatar. Just kidding.

You really think my avatar is annoying?
If you think that is bad, you should meet me in person. LOL 😀
