Let's start with the fact that I don't want any quarrels here! - (if anyone wants to say something to me, write to me in ICQ)
2 invisible :
I can say this, yes I agree with you to some extent that the position in the standings cannot have any relation to the player's skill level (100 poods).
I have played about 2 dozen games with Dubrovin and I know his skill level; his level is now much higher than at the beginning of the spring season.
As for Alex_R, I don't have a clear idea of his skill level (since I haven't really had the chance to play with him), but most likely he is a strong player, and I would certainly not be against his participation - everyone is worthy of fighting for our World!
About Pit, I can't say that he is stronger than Dubrovin; on the contrary, I would dare to say - no offense to you, Pit, but that's my current opinion.
In conclusion: I would give my vote to Dubrovin, if there were a vote, since you can't vote for invisible. - but still I think that someone might be offended, so I would like to ask about replacements in several matches: the same Alex_R, Dubrovin, and Pit, if possible I would be ready to share my games!
