I'll have my own version ))) if luck is on my side

P.S.: I'll concede tech losses up to the 1/4 stage, after that, I'll just refuse to play.
P.P.S.: If you have any objections to this wording, just remove me from the list of participants.

Yes, Britvochka will participate in the tournament. Neither I nor Pete, as organizers of the tournament, have anything against Britvochka as a player; moreover, I personally invited him. I am confident in his honesty, not based on investigations conducted by a third party or hearsay, but based on personal games, of which there have already been about 30-40. I can confidently vouch for Andrey.
But in any case, everyone has the right to their own opinion, so if you are opposed to his participation in this tournament, now is the time to say so, before the draw begins.
I hope for your understanding. Thank you.
