These guys really love chess. Have a seat pls. 🙂
Are there any shortcomings of playing chess?
This is the most best tournamnet I’ve seen all year! Keep it up! Once every month to organize please!!
Is there a pgn base to download offline all the games at once?
So so by So.
This is how a tournament should be done, paired by how they fair on ELO points. No freebies because you are from the host country. Chess World, emulate this one.
A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.
“Why of course”, comes the reply.
The first man then asks: “Where are you from?”
“I’m from Ireland”, replies the second man.
The first man responds: “You don’t say, I’m from Ireland too! Let’s have another round to Ireland.”
“Of Course”, replies the second man.
Curious, the first man then asks: “Where in Ireland are you from?”
“Dublin”, comes the reply.
“I can’t believe it”, says the first man. “I’m from Dublin too! Let’s have another drink to Dublin.”
“Of course”, replies the second man.
Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: “What school did you go to?”
“Saint Mary’s”, replies the second man. “I graduated in ’62.”
“This is unbelievable!”, the first man says. “I went to Saint Mary’s and I graduated in ’62, too!”
About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar.
“What’s been going on?”, he asks the bartender.
“Nothing much,” replies the bartender. “The O’Malley twins are drunk again.”
I wonder what Wesley is laughing about. He just had his head handed to him by Hammer
Gergő is the King!
Go Hammer! 🙂
