O čem je toďten plk: snobbish IYT tourney director
indeed I have to agree with Gary ...
how often the real Keryo was suggested as
improvement, (we offered Keryo-Pro as name)
not even a single answer - guess I've not reached
12 tries yet or a diffuse other restriction ... :p
in a particulary remarkable case, during the
Durham power outage (which understandably casted
a lot of messed up results 1st) and, re-instating
and catching up with 'orphane-rounds' promised,
I found myself in a chess final - as deserved :D
but a game of the previous round, supposed to be
drawn was timed out by my opponent, I re-instated
even before official intervention - but the final
ran ... :O - my main competitor in the semifinal,
grandpatzer, should have tied up - but my win was
falsely counted ... got to meet 'savage' alone ...
we protested via game-diagram-link, via email more
than a dozen times - peakhold of the bluntness
I encountered was, they nagged me for bothering
*what the heck I was up to as *I* was qualified
and playing* ... I don't even mind - grandpatzer
owed to be there ALSO, THAT was my point !
I won the tourney but, with him in the final group
it would have been much tougher and more valuable.

danoschek: Don't worry, you will find that there are unsportsmanlike players here too (well, at least one) ... no reflection on Fencer (and his team?) who has been most helpful although, in this case, his hands where pretty much tied.
I did not target any players
- just that certain 'tourncontol'
and I admit until summer 2002 I had no
objections about quick and proper responses.
btw - no lists please I'm sure everywhere
folks going for an easy score happen to exist :P
Savage was very co-operative ... we really
did everything in private initiative to avoid
additional work for IYT farest possibly ...
we delayed our moves up to the limit, suggested
to just add Grandpatzer to our group as simple
solution - nothing happened ... as we figured
the sweat spilled, when a server for a million
goes down, no pushing, we were patient, idle. ~*~
