< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 45 OF 48 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-22-09    TheAlchemist: <cu8sfan> Hey! I don't know how much you follow it, but congratulations for Dario Cologna's win in the overall world cup, it's amazing he did it at such a young age. Another Swiss star who might achieve a whole lot in the coming years. Mar-22-09    cu8sfan: <TheAlchemist> I don't follow cross-country skiing at all but of course Cologna's been all over the news today. It's quite something he achieved this winter. I don't think Switzerland has ever had a winner in cross-country skiing. Congratulations to Dario Cologna! Mar-24-09    RonB52734: Thanks, cu8sfan, I finally got around to updating the meta-collection this morning. Is Spring hitting your part of the world yet? Apr-01-09    cu8sfan: Opening Day is here!

But still, August will be the month I play not against one but two world class players. Morozevich was kind enough to sign his book for me. I'll be playing in the Zurich tournament beginning this Saturday. Will I meet any of you there? <Benzol>? <Open Defence>? Aug-07-09    Open Defence: we will be cheering for you, though I cannot be there in person ALL THE BEST! Aug-07-09    tpstar: <Marcel> Good luck!! Here's a helpful tip: don't capture ...
