| | lostemperor: Ouch <SwitchingQuylthulg>. Thanks for seeing that correctly! Of course you tied ♕ with <ahmadov>. I type to quickly for my brain to follow lately!:) |
|
May-06-08
| | lostemperor: <ahmadov: <lostemperor> let me tell one secret here:
When we met <lost> told me that I usually perform well in his contests, but I could do better if I am not biased towards my countrymen... It seems that my countrymen did not fail me this time ;-)>Yes, that's is what we discussed. And you explained me why you did what you did. This time you showed your excellent skills!:) <rogge> well done in this tough contest. And I hope all players to come The Hague once if only to play chess with me:-) |
|
| May-06-08 | | ahmadov: <And I hope all players to come The Hague once if only to play chess with me:-)> You mean the players of FIDE Grand Prix? Then, do not expect any win or draw :-) |
|
May-06-08
| | lostemperor: <ahmadov> I wouldn't be so sure about that. After all I did beat a fine player like yourself hehehe! Tnx. |
