The player violated the rule requiring 5 games. He hasn't played a single required game since September 23rd. Vanya and Zhenya don't have the opportunity to play 5 games in 2 days starting September 29th, as Helen wanted. You don't know the internal correspondence on ICQ and the attempts to come to an agreement with him. This is a clear abuse of the rules. I intervened. I gave him 2 days. I scheduled an odd game. The player ignored it.
Or do you think I shouldn't have intervened and forced him to play 4 games in 2 days?
This is a closed tournament for trusted players, for fun, and the prize is just a nice bonus. I won't allow this to turn into a constant search for loopholes in the rules for personal gain. For those who don't want or can't play for fun, turning the tournament into a mercenary thing – the door is closed.
I haven't been following the tournament and don't know when this rule appeared, but if it exists, then everything is fine. However, it's unclear why the player was kicked out, being called names, instead of simply stating that he violated a certain clause of the regulations.
