I don't understand why so many ppl have to wait for suku who is on vacation thou his final game score will make no difference on the top 3 in his group, this site should check for stuff like this

Dear Chess Players!

It is rather annoying and frustrating that several of you, either in a tourney or in a singel game, just leave the match to go on vacation. Some of you also have a bunch of days to spend on that purpose. Everybody should know if they are capable to finish their chess obligations without further delay or not. It is a lack of respect to the other players who just have to wait and wait and wait ... The rest of us definately want to play our matches, see the results and go on in our World of Chess!

Anyway: I wish each and everyone of you a Merry Christmas and a Fascinating and Happy New Year!

Greetings from il Padrino, Oslo, Norway ...
