Quick tournament note

So things do come down to the final game. With l3rucewayne’s upset victory over drunknknite, the Wahrheit vs drunknknite match will decide the winner. Wahrheit needs a straight-out win, but he does have the White pieces.

To add to the drama, these two recently dueled in a tense OTB encounter at the Reno Chess Club.

You can’t script things much better than that.

Allen is probably breathing a sigh of relief, as he no longer has to worry about spending $5 on a McDonald’s gift card.

    @Polly: But if they both get good luck, it’ll cancel each other out.

    @Allen: Well, no one’s stopping you…

    @BDK: FICS. It’s free, w00t.

    @Wahrheit: Thanks, I will be there!

    You missed a rout. No tiebreak necessary.

    Yeah, don’t be too charitable in your description of the game, my friend. It was worse than a rout, it was like Bambi v. Godzilla, like, well, Hell. :)

    Congratulations on winning the tournament!

    Thanks for the result! Unfortunately, I collapsed in exhaustion about 45 min before game time so missed it…

    A proper tournament conclusion/celebration/coronation upcoming.

    I feel like MacArthur right now, driven out of the Philippines hiding in a submarine, but I WILL RETURN.

    I can’t send out gift cards for anything less than perfection!
