I understand we want to hold a memorial for our friend, Guy Burkett and I fully support that. However, I have to wonder: is there any flexibility at all for the April 12th date? If not, I probably will still play, but I may be very distracted by calls and emails, so I hope the time control is somewhat long.
I would really like to play on Sunday, but Sunday night is the busiest time of the week for me and my business is in peak season. The Coronavirus crisis actually helped more than hurt us.
The time control sounds good to me, but I'd prefer to play at 9 rather than 8, or better yet, even 10. The later, the better, as I have a lot of work in the early evening.
