2ND CHESS FRIENDS OF THE WORLD DCCC -9/9/2017

[blaubaer]

Hi,

July 29 would be ok for me too (besides 8/5)!

Regards Michael

[Steve B]

Besides the 3 dates I already mentioned....7/22 is best for me
Sadly I cant do the weekend of 7/29-7/30
I tried to move things around personally but It cant be done

I know this is becoming hard to arrange Nick and so I mention again if the dates of 7/29 work well for everyone else then I insist you make that the date and I will drop out ..thanking you and everyone else for trying to accommodate me with a one day tournament
at last count you have 8 participants so this will leave you 7
as you only need 6 for 5 rounds you are still good to go

Caused Enough Commotion Already Regards

Hi Steve

We will work it. All I am doing at the moment is trying to find a date that works for everyone so no one needs to miss it. Out of curiosity, how far into September can you go before it become a conflict for you in your responsibilities?

Also everyone else how does July 22 sound?

Best regards
Best regards

Retirement stress?

[spacious_mind]

OK Everyone,

How about 9/9? That has to be far enough away from Summer Holiday conflicts and far enough away where you can tell your loved ones sorry but on 9/9 I have something more important planned and mark it on your calendar as booked !!

Best regards

yes exactly
not to mention ...it will give me more then enough time to practice with the Premiere against every computer entered in the tournament..simulating tournament conditions .. so that when it comes time to play.. the Premiere will have a tremendous advantage...playing the best hand picked book lines against each computer and aiming for the most favorable endgames

JUST KIDDING Regards
Steve

Nothing in September is good for me, but feel free to drop me out if a date in Sept is good for everyone else.
