New #1!

Thanks Boby...I still have to finish my games with you first...both
giving me a freaking migraine...I expect to see both of us fighting for
one of the top spots.

USA Captain

Congrats to a very deserving player - i salute you good sir

Well done! At last a leader everybody respects and accepts.
Julia

yes. Of course referring only to the period we lived in RHP. No
reference to Bessyboo or Babe who both were n°1 before we (Julia & I)
joined. Sin.

Thanks everyone for the kind words you have said 🙂 I appreciate it
more than you realize. I wrote earlier, but thought some may not see
it because it is hidden under "more posts below this one". Just wanted
to say I appreciate all the games I have played with everyone and
that I am looking forward to the tournament. I just hope my bubble
doesnt pop and let the team down. I have a feeling there will be some
major upsets (usually are in tournaments) and I hope that I am not
on the receiving end of one. One thought that I live by is....Its not a
perfect world! Good luck to all players on the USA and ROW teams.
May the better team win and that hopefully everyone will remember
the chess.....is just a game. Thanks again for the kudos and
accolades. Paul

I second that. This is the right spirit for the tournament. Win or loose
in the match table, if we give it our best shot and have interesting and
fair games, we all win. Sin.
