I can try to help you with the connection.
I'm usually online on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 10 PM Moscow time, but I can also be available at other times by prior arrangement to help with the connection.
If Moza decides to continue playing after all, let me know in advance what day and time, and I'll help as much as I can!
Regarding Castle GAZ, I haven't received a response from him yet. We'll wait for his response until tomorrow; otherwise, the judges should decide whether to disqualify him from the tournament.
P.S. We need someone (who is not participating in this tournament) to draw the pairings for the next stage.
and, of course, I've already forgotten the game... what, where, to whom, and how... and I don't have the strength to relearn it... and I hate doing it the most... I like to do everything in one go...
(I repeat) I've never chased victory... I play for fun, and I don't consider losing to be offensive. Let the strongest win... with respect, Moza
