Well, almost 3 years, many things have passed in our lives, and i hope they were for the best.

I'm very glad to have played against some of you on this tournament, i really enjoyed all of the games here, and i'm looking forward to play with you some time in the future again.

Many thanks for sharing this piece of your lives with us all.

OK, we're just a few moves away from the final round... this is sure a long tounament, and the ratings are no longer under 1500...

Congratulations to all!

Ok Fellas were almost two years into this incredibly long tournament. Boy, its been through a recession, countless bailouts, earthquakes, business recovery and were still 94% done. Boy

And we're off to round 3! :D

this is nearly a year old !!!

I was wondering the same thing!  I don't get more vacation time every other day so why does this guy?

I swear, every time I look, the guy has more vacation time. What's going on?!?

No wonder the guy is so burnt out -- he has 140 games under way! Jeepers!

The good news is that this person only has 11.5 hours of vacation time left so possibly this game will be over in 4 days.

8 months this game has been going on!!  CRAZY!

It took less to elect a new president of the USA!

Alright already, somebody put a stop to this.  What is this, his/her tenth vacation?  Hey Seminole man, quit the game and let's get going here!  This is rediculous!

the worst is that the one game left doesnt change anything in the tournament.

the group is already finished, this game has no impact whatsoever

chess.com should remove tourny vacas...

OMG!

That last match is taking forever with all those vacations they are taking...

I am waiting for one game in group 9 to end to move to the next round. I wonder if there is a way to start the next round with out having to wait for those two games to end.

Will this round ever end?

how can you tell your current place in the tourney at the moment?

I was wondering that if this is an "under 1500" tourney, there are plenty of players over 1500.  I can understand an occasional 150x but if you started this off with over 1550 we all know who the favorites are. 

I wiil bring to bear all the skill I have to the Game.

I actually have 1 timeout from ages ago, but I think since my percentage of time outs rounds to 0% it let me in :)

Anyway, I won't time out, promise :P

Good luck everyone
