    We have a good mix of players this time. I'm also stretched to the limit with all of the other games I have going, so it's a good thing there's a 14 day time control!

    1. I'd just finished a heap of games, and still have 2 others going when the tourny started. I'm maxed out trying to keep my thoughts in each of hte games. I've even started making notes on the notes page - i'm trusting for the first time that they are not able to be seen by my opponants! :-)

    2. Even with 14 day limists, most people seem to be making moves every day or so.

    3. I'm liking the tourny so far. Some new names, plus a couple i havent seen since last tournament.

    4. I hate the queens pawn openings because i havent played against it much. i think every person has either opened with a queen pawn game or gone with something totally off center, like moving knights first. I hate these odd openings!

    Yeah, it is an interesting tourney. I tried to seed some fresh blood to make it interesting.

    I don't know how people can manage with anything less than 14 days TC - at least for a double RR. There are sooo many games to handle at kick-off. That is why I turn off my invites right before the tourney begins. No more games for at least three months!

    Glad everyone is having fun.

    None here either...except the gift of finally get back to my games! I've been so busy the last week, I actually had to put myself on vacation mode because I just didn't have a chance to make any moves. Sheesh!

    I'm starting to get back on top of my games (i mean i'm making some moves, i dont mean "i'm on top of my game!").

    Pity Mystic pulled out. I hope they didnt pull the plug too early.
