Nice to see some variety in the tournaments - something different from the Octets, Threesomes & Duels. This one looks like a cracker.

You've proven that quite well.

Just stick to chess rather than commenting in here, it is obviously what you are best at.

I have a great many 21 dayers, but a few frantic 'Blitz' games will be fun, and there is that 14 day timebank in case I go crazy!
