    I finally thought I had the schedule figured out!
    The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.

    Congrats Ichi. Just proves that capitalists will always be superior chess players over commies.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Chess is but a distraction from the global revolution.

    So was the dealine for the first round 00:01 last night (aka this morning)? Will the results be posted?

    Also should we start the second round games now?

    So, final score 2-0.
    Yeah, that second game was a blast to play! Unfortunately for myself, I was just a little too focused on capturing your king (to the detriment of my defenses).

    I was wondering this as well. I'm next scheduled to get my butt kicked by play Wasp, if I'm not mistaken.
