This tournament has lost its appeal for me now that the TD is dead.

It because all the eager beavers are trying to finish their games before they "Get a Transfer to Head Office"....

Yes that's all part of the tournament. Along the way people will get older and to weak to continue playing, some might die, some might take up knitting as a past time...

This is the Never Ending Tournament???  Then why have several games already ended after just a couple of days of play???

My main defense for Black is the Modern Benoni. I've never played the Czech though. Should be fun.
