Thanks for the observation. Someone’s gotta really like McDonald’s to start throwing games.

Or on the bottom. Ah, the beauty of perfection.

@Allen: Your prize will keep everyone on the top of their game. Thank you.

@Rocky: That’s too bad (in a sense) because Allen was offering the gift card for winless participants as well.

@Wahrheit: Not sure I want to know. I got a postcard from him, so I’ll have to scan that. Did he send the spinning head yet?

@drunknknite: Not sure it was so much “sweet” as “Oh, crap, I need to find something relevant to cover!”

@chessloser: Thanks, although it was less work than you think.

@l3rucewayne: Looking forward to the “opening surprise” you’ve prepared for me.

@Polly: Wahaha! I need to watch the “revenge” match; maybe it would be good for a chess.tv (if the site existed).

@Blunderprone: You seem awfully proud to emulate your…blunderprone…chess great-great-great-grandfather.

If there is ever a next one… i think I can humiliate myself in the same style as Kieseritzky!

I enjoyed the tournament. It was fun to “meet” some of my fellow chess bloggers. Though it turns out I’ve played DrunknKnight in person a few years ago in NYC. He won that game too.

I’m coming after you!!!

Thanks for the holding the tournament, it was fun and it increased my playing ability I think. Definitely my understanding of a couple openings anyway.

Thanks so much for the gift card, that was sweet. I almost deleted it by accident thinking it was some stupid promotional thing but thankfully I read this site before I did.

Good tourney!

Not sure about the video… it’s definitely interesting. Can’t believe I let the gift card slip, that could have been an Asian Chicken Salad. Gives me reason to play next time though.

Great video. Great tournament. Great job!

Thanks,

BTW, I’m in Alaska right now and I thought I saw the Mascot drive by the cafe this morning in a Rent-a-Wreck. Any idea what he might be up to (probably no good)?

Thanks for putting on the tourney. I actually got one win. I beat Tom. I don’t know what happened with Chessloser and I. We just never communicated.
