Who is willing to start another tournament ? We werent able to Get
Matt, Grant, Randy or Vinny enrolled before the tournament started.

Phil is much better in all of his games against me as is everyone else!
I have to let you know that Angelo is also kicking my butt and taunting
me as he does it! He is a great guy to play chess with. Innocux is
also a great competitor and I am learning a lot from my play with them.
I have to say I think there is no better way to get to know people than
like this over a chess board.

These are the actual participants of this one:

Moos,
adp,fast phill,
monkfist,
robmtchl,
diggerdogwoofwoof,
Chess One,
ivan888,
Inconnux

I'm just about to pull a fast one on fast phil, and diggerdog is also fast
out of the gate :))

OTOH, in other games I'm about to lose 50 ratings points in 2 very shakey
games, unless I can sleeze my way out of it :((

This is a very fun thing to do, and I am deep into it, having played lots of
moves - and for your amusement am probably worse in two games, though
massively better in two others. I f I win all my games I can probably win 5
points, but if I lose I will lose 100!

Technically Rob Mitchell cannot start another tourney till this one is over,
so if other people would like to play against each other, I, or a couple
other people in the list below who are members, could start another one. I
think there is a provision to invite some amount of guests, but I don't know
how many people I can usher in under this basis, and each player might need
a different sponsor [from list below]. Do you know answer to that Rob?

The thing of it is, various outsiders joined in this one, so if there is
enough interest, and quick responses to invitations, we could keep the
tourny much to ourselves.

Though outsiders are fun@ I am talking with a Swiss person about Swabishche,
a sort of looney-German speech, and with a fellow limey about London's chess
scene.

On USCF Forums, Bill Goichberg just posted the following regarding the
suspension of Beatriz inello from posting:

DECISION MADE BY MIKE NOLAN, SERVING AS A MODERATOR OF THE USCF FORUM;
BILL HALL, USCF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR; AND BILL GOICHBERG, PRESIDENT OF
THE USCF

I was not aware of the above headline in advance and do not agree with
it. I expressed my personal opinion (that the info was confidential)
before any other Board member commented, and I did not claim that my
opinion was necessarily that of the whole Board.

Bill Goichberg

(remainder snipped)

What is going on here is that Bill Goichberg was gung-ho to suspend
both Beatriz inello and myself from posting to the USCF Forums, but
now that he is being challenged on this, he is saying that it was not
his fault, and that Mike Nolan should be blamed for the whole thing.

Mike Nolan is going to be made the fall-guy.

For those who have been wondering whether Goichberg is a man or a
mouse, now we know the answer. Goichberg is a mouse.

Okay Mike,

know.

When I signed up, I thought the tournament would be similar to the
ones that can be organized on playchess.com, i.e., that it would take
place in real time, more or less in single session.

While I'll be happy to arrange some fast time-control games (on
playchess or some other site) against anybody on this list, e-mail
chess isn't my bag.
