Thanks for setting the games up Solver.

Thanks Solver. I think it will be. Gavrushka and I have very different ways of playing. It will be interesting to see who wins on this symmetrical map.

Is anyone else playing this weekend? Just curious. I haven't seen any posts for awhile.

I won't be playing until next week. I finally got a new mainboard, but discovered my video card was zapped when my old mainboard bit the dust. I have a new video card on the way, but may need a new power supply. The 250W I have may be underpowered and the my new mainboard seems to have a chipset that isn't as efficient at power management as my old one. I have been getting getting alot of freezes.

It is an Assus K7M custom version for HP, I got it on eBay. I remember that the seller warned in the listing that a 300W power supply was required. I thought I could get away with using my 250W supply.

Due to work constraints, Gavrushka has withdrawn from the CtP World Cup 2002.

[Solver]

Can't believe this, he has no time to play, I assume? A real shame to see one of the best players go, and I can't see anyone else playing yet.

I am very disappointed to see Gavrushka withdraw from the tournament...In fact I wuz looking forward to playing him...For awhile it seemed like he had quite a bit of time to play. Oh well...times change I guess.

Swissy, let me know when you are back up and running. I'll make time to play whenever you can make it. My e-mail is nova20001@hotmail.com

What the hell is the world comming to when you have to put work ahead of the CTP world cup that is absolutely shocking. The whole point of working is to make more money to enjoy life, but if you got know time to enjoy life whats the point. You just get old fat and grey for no point.

I thought you were your own boss anyway

Is it a motherboard for AMD processors? Because as far as I know Athlon processors do need at list a 300W power supply due to larger power consumption than its predecessors. Modern graphic cards may need a little more power as well.

Bad news indeed And if I add his state that he wouldn't be able to play Internet games after he moves in London (soon) then we will probably rarely be seeing Garry in the future.

I hope that this will not accually ever happen because beside the fact that he is one of the best players he is a very pleasant and social guy as well.

BTW, I can take Garry's position if that's final and if you want so but not yet. In 1 or 2 weeks from now, depending on my schedule.

[Solver]

I would please like Garry to confirm leaving. If yes, we can replace him with Keygen.
