Two things to talk about

Dave,
I'll get a hold of Jason and Tara. Lets look at havingsome rules
for the tournament. Also so established duties for the assistant
directors. I'll sleep on this and make a duty list for the assistant
directors. Just gonna make it so we know what we are supposed to do
tohelp.

Kirk...you are forever the man on this site. If you want to help me with
the way this runs then send me an email...and I think you will be the
final one I need to make this work.

Dave,
I'm happy to see you as one of those four people above 1800.

Kramnik for the championship!

Will have more details soon.

Dave

Actually reviewing the third game of Leko-Shirov right now. Leko is
playing very well!
-ww-

He has a shot i think...but I always back the underdog.

Leko over Kramnik!!

Dave

I'll join the underdog troupe. This change of style shown in Dortmund
is very interesting. No longer playing the draw-meister, Leko is
confident, aggressive and it seems to complement his other skills.
Can he combine everything to play the long game? there's the
question. No matter how it comes out, we win - both are better than
this singularly unimpressive Pono-whatever guy.
Of course, that's just my opinion - I could be completely wrong.
-ww-

Well..I of course like Shirov's attacking no holds barred play...but
Leko is playing some good solid chess.

Good assesment on Pono...I don't care for his play either.

I miss Bobby.

Dave

I miss Nimzo and Larsen.......hehe.........but I think Shirov is my fav!
But Leko would be my second!
