just wondering, if you hate this place so much why are you still here? are you waiting for you sub. to run out?

Just wondering how much of an idiot you are. Do you think trying to work against engine cheaters shows hatred for a site that has rules against them?

Lost two already, (fisherov just crushed me like a leetle bug), but enjoying my RHP crowning achievement, making the second round in the big show, and leading the group, even if its just for a minute! Smell the roses people. :-)

I have a strategy for not losing quickly.

Play slowly.

That's my only hope in a group of 2000+ rated players who all start with d4! 🙂

Quite possibly, although I have so many games against you right now I can't remember how any of them started! ! 🙂

Anyone else think this tournament is more of a test of stamina than ability!?
I'm at breaking point 😛

I have made a nice comeback in my group, I have almost caught up all the time I lost while I was without internet access.
I just have to beat marrauder and stephane and I should have a chance of getting to the final.

Expect every critical game in the final round to be gone over by a fine tooth comb - allegations flying hither & thither, toys thrown from prams, people leaving the site...
Who is the 2007 Champion anyway?
😕

Well cludi was the official winner but, since it has never been awarded to him, some would say that English Tal would be champion.

If cludi's games are removed from the round ... then English Tal and Gatecrasher are equal on points.
