Entered Chess.dot tournament that came through my inbox:

Wasnt sure what it all meant but I pushed onward.

My group is playing each other twice. We have some great players imo , and feel lucky to be in it , quite an education.

I definitely I will play better after this first tournament, iI didn ot excpect the effect of the 24 cycle of  make a move of 10 moves . 

Kind of getting in a groove, defeintely fun.
