What about Alex H ?Michael Holmes wrote:I will be there.
More likely myself, Richard Beckwith, Alan Millhone, John Acker, Louis Cowie, Steve Holiday, Joe LaConti. I will talk with Mark Sokolovski about his intention and plansWho else?
Last time when you played in OH 2008 we also had Lubabalo Kondlo and Ron King (due to upcoming after-weekend GAYP world title match) but I am not sure if they can make it this year
I am playing checkers, not chess.

Re: Ohio 2012
I wanted to make this tournament, but can't due to financial situation. I do hope it gets a good turnout, better than last year.

Re: Ohio 2012
Last night I enjoyed watching and little bit chating with Clint Olsen on Kurnik. I highly encouraged him to come to Medina. MapQuest Research showed that he needs approximately little bit more than 5 hrs driving from Ontario, Canada. Clint said that his passport expired but he will try to get a new one in the next week.
Indeed, It will be great news for all of us if he can make it ! I told him that it is impossible to earn all money in the world, and sometimes you should spend some of them
It seems like my cheap argument worked well.
Clint also mentioned that due to long disapperence on checkers arena, he is out of his past perfect form. I also don't think it's a serious argument and actually playing in real ty's is the only way to recover this form.
Lets wait and see ...

Re: Ohio 2012
I played Clint a little last night and he was extremely strong. Stronger than any player I have played online before and I have played some great ones. He will be a force to reckon with if he does come back.

Good luck to all those competing. Clint told me he will not be able to make it either, but is interested in possibly making nationals next year.

Re: Ohio 2012
Wow, Mark Soko has been a powerhouse so far. Beating Rich Beckwith, very impressive. Watch out Alex.
