Hurricanes, job crap, wife crap....I have to tell you, I don't feel too confident right now. Still, I hope to be able to play Vain this Saturday at about this time. Vain, can you do that?

I offered to quit the tournament, because I couldn't trust that I'd have electricity for 3 weekends in a row there, but Hier wanted me to stay in. I tried to get a match in with Vain last weekend, but it didn't happen. Hopefully, Vain and I can do it on Saturday; it's hard when he doesn't have MSN and lives in such a different time zone.

Well, I lost power at the house again today, and frankly, that's the best news I received today. I am now officially out of the tournament. THere's just no way I can focus on chess now. Good Luck Vain and Syl.

Sorry you're having so much trouble. :( :(

Here's hoping things look up for you in the future.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Sorry to see you leave the championship this way, dAN.

Good luck Caer and Vain!

Looks like I finish third.

Oh, man, I thought Vain was just asking about a friendly game. Didn't see your post, dAN. Sorry about your situation. I'll promise you a re-match for the prize if (stress the "if") I win.

Meh. I'm beginning to think Vain is my alter-ego. He's never around when I'm here. Might as well call it a draw.
