Cool! Hey I just realized Rimfaxe and I both have higher "opposition" numbers than Obi does. So if either one of us beats him, we actually would win on tie-breaks over that!

Okay, so I'm trying to wimp out of more than one game against Obi. laugh

I'd just like to point out that I have easily the highest opposition number of anybody in the bottom 50% of the rankings.

Rusty, why couldn't you have played the draw in our TONC game?? By forcing me to win, you totally messed me up for the rest of the tournament! :p wink laugh

And I'd like to point out that my opposition rating is right behind yours and that I have one less win than you. :p

Well I lost. Rimfaxe put up an amazing defense and my pawns simply just fell apart from the pressure. If he plays this well against Obi, it will be the best game of the tournament I predict.

Congrats again to Rimfaxe!
