For PaulinevN : evidentely we are a lot of hidden world champions, or maybe a lot of software users?! ;-)

To: The Tournament Director (pkem11)

I'd like to apologize for not playing but I advised you twice before the tournament started to remove my name so I just have to resign all my games. I hope this won't in anyway affect the tournament and may it be a huge success.

Thank you for the opportunity to participate. I'm looking forward to play in future tournaments if my schedule would allow.
