regarding the game with Neo...
He violated the rules, and they are the same for everyone, which usually leads to a loss... But firstly, I didn't notice it right away, and I wouldn't have noticed it at all if the opponent hadn't mentioned it later. Secondly, and this is the main point, I have never demanded technical forfeits for rule violations (unless they lead to significant changes in the game) and I don't want to do so in the future.
I am in favor of a draw, which we agreed on immediately after the game.
I apologize to the players on our team... but 4.5-2.5 may not be that great, but it will give us more motivation for the next game, and I hope it will take place.
