Lepers II final and the final word on the ‘08 election

Congratulations to Polly and Ivan for being the last two players standing in the Lepers II tournament! By virtue of having the better regular season record, Ivan will be White.

    I guess it’s good it took two games to complete since we guessed on the colors, and I took white in the first game which was a draw. I would have felt bad if I won the game with white when I was supposed to be black. I lost the second game with black.

    @E: E is back! (The Mr. T was a dead giveaway.) What’s been going on?

    @Polly/Ivan: Fortunately at our skill level, being white or black has less effect than who made the least dumb mistakes. So…Polly, you wouldn’t have needed to feel guilty.
