Congratulations, Gary! I see the Game Courier Tournament 2 results have been posted, and Gary Gifford has won without losing a game. Antoine Fourriere and Roberto Laviere came in second and third this year. Congratulations to both of you. I'd like to thank everyone I played. I met almost everyone, and also met almost every game, for the first time during the tournament, and all-in-all have enjoyed the experience. In spite of getting thumped pretty badly, I did manage to come in tied for eighth. It was a lot of fun, if sometimes nerve-wracking, and I did better than I expected. I actually won a few, and didn't lose a couple more. It's been a great introduction to the world of chess variants; and I've almost stopped bleeding from some of the losses. I liked the 'lots of different games' format and that we got a choice of games. The wide variety was what attracted me. So thank you very much to Fergus Duniho, who ran the tournament as well as participated. This was the second tournament I ever played in, and the first in 35-40 years. This was fascinating. Are all tournaments like this? Heck, I'd play in another 'many-games' tournament again. Thanks to the participants for making this a very good time. It was so much fun, I hated to see it end. :-) Joe
