[Lindus Edwards]

Hi Kent,

About fifteen years ago when George Miller ran the event two games per round would be played, thus allowing players the chance of the red and white side. During the past eight or so years one-game rounds have been used. This does allow for a certain amount of luck as a player could well have 12 red sides! I think Liam Stephens put it best when he wrote:

"In GAYP tournaments, two game rounds are neither necessary nor desirable.
Single game rounds with colours allocated (the norm in Chess tournaments, I believe)
would have been eminently preferable, and allowed anywhere from 12 to 16 rounds of play.
This would also greatly enhance the possibility of there being an outright winner, without the need for tie splitting."

Incidentally, extremely well done on a fine performance in the qualifiers. You wrote: "Frank Morgan." I expect you meant John Morgan, or it could well have been Frank Moran. In either case, well done.

Best wishes,

Lindus.

[champion374]

i corrected it thanks John Morgan

[champion374]

will be very intresting to see what Wcdf ratings look like now.

[Lindus Edwards]

So you beat my old friend John Morgan. Together with your other excellent results it will indeed be interesting to see the WCDF Ratings, which should present you in a very good light. Not having won anything of merit since 1987, albeit by sheer luck, I do not expect to see my name in the ratings. If I do have a rating of over 1200 however I will be delighted with it. I am pretty sure that the wins I scored at Pogo will not count in the WCDF Ratings, which is a pity as I had a lot of good wins there. I had a nice three for one not so long ago and was delighted with that.

[champion374]

When was the Pogo tournament ?my rated is 1800 something . it was 2130 before how the way ratings where done.

[Lindus Edwards]

Cannot recall precisely. It was just some friendly games there. We had good tournaments at Goldtoken until a year ago but nothing now I also play at IYT. There are many hundreds of players at these sites far stronger than me of course, but I do get the occasional win which is always good.

[champion374]

i was disapointed i did not get to play in the wales open. my plan got delayed.

[Lindus Edwards]

I see. I wondered why I did not see your name mentioned in the Open. I will probably go along next year as a spectator.

[champion374]

you sure? i played in the quli not open

[Lindus Edwards]

Yes, that I what said Kent. I wondered why I did not see your name in the players' list for the Welsh Open. Sorry you could not make it. I will pop along next year to watch the play. I do not play in tournaments any longer as I am too old now.

[George Hay]

Michele Borghetti vs Igor Martynov, Round 7 Game 1 shows there is still plenty of life left in the "single corner" opening!

Congratulations to Michele Borghetti for winning the GAYP Qualifier to face Sergio Scarpetta for the GAYP World Championship in 2016.

Congratulations to Amangul Berdiyeva for winning the Women's GAYP World Championship!

Will we see Amangul Berdiyeva and Nadiya Chyzhevska compete in the Women's 3-Move World Championship Tournament in 2016?
