Congratulations to Michael Holmes for 3rd place, well done old man!

If Michael is old man, who I am ?

[George Hay]

Mr. Alex, I use the term "old man" as a complement of course! As it is a complement in South Africa, I use it in the ACF Forum. I was born in 1955, so I am older than Ron King. Mr. Alex, to answer your question, you too are "old man" in the best possible sense!

--George Hay

[Michael Holmes]

FYI, No GM norms were met for this tournament.

[johndraughts]

are the games published yet?

[Michael Holmes]

Who is suppose to publish the games? To my knowledge no one has volunteered. And the editor with ACF puts them in the bulletin so they should show up there eventually

[Michael Holmes]

This should probably go in the games section but since a question was asked in this subject about games I can post some games here:
