epilogue

Sirpi: after this exciting and enjoyable event Leslie drove 5 hours home. When I arrived, I immediately contacted pepe because the Hungarian champs is still running and none of us haven't had opportunity to play in the last 2 weeks. So we played all 6 games and after a thrilling 3-3 finally the tiebreak decided. So in 3 days I played 22 tournament games which is a kind of record for me.

Home, sweet home

Egmaria: While the others were still enjoying the Sunday evening, and playing worms and cockroaches, I took a nice 9 hours night trip with a bus to Vienna. The roads are great in Poland, it's better than any roller coaster. :-D The trip included the sightseeing of 10 other small towns in the night....

hope the other will have also a safe trip home.

AND THE WINNER IS ...

Congrats to Blick!

To conclude...

Egmaria: Thanks to Teresa for organizing this great event. I will make sure to come next year too, and the year after and after and....

re-oc's dilemma

no, it was not :P

The OC dilemma might only be designed to give a boost to the Polish tomato juice industry...

(z) here's a small competition for all of you: how close can you get to a draw without actually playing one - 10.3-9.7 TPs is the closest shave so far...

OC's dilemma

Should someone who's been playing better and better since ordering a tomato juice be considered suspicious and should default due to illegal enhancement take place? ;-)
Or should I just order one for myself...

Sirpi: Now Mike knows me better and next time he won't close my 9-tile long loop at the start :-) Bad news for me is that now I am on his blacklist.
