Nagan-4
Auto-translated
I bought wine, cups, snacks, got ready and... got sick (((
Selling the tickets...
2 Querty. Very, very sorry. :eek: Get well soon, maybe you can still break away and join us before May 4th, even if just for a day. I wrote a big post and will be editing it.
Oh, I only just remembered that I owe Dust a beer. Is there beer in Michurinsk?
2 Slonysh. Non-alcoholic beer definitely exists. But how will you serve the alcoholic Dust non-alcoholic beer? ;)
Clarification: I and PReDS are arriving by train on 29.04 at 21:11
2 iDD. That's not enough. We need the train number and its name. Also, what is the arrival station called - Michurinsk-Voronezhsky or Michurinsk-Uralsky. And it would be nice to know your car number.
Medium and I plan to arrive by car on the 30th in the morning, by the start of the tournament. It would be good to start playing in the morning as well, rather than sitting around if the draw pits us against someone arriving at lunchtime. I don't really care who I play against, but after making a long journey, then waiting half a day for an opponent, finishing a game at midnight (if we finish), could be stressful and the fatigue will affect the remaining rounds.
2 Piterius. 25 finalists. Yama-Dharma is loaded with work and will arrive later as a guest. On the morning of the 30th, the finalists from Moscow will be: Vigo, Vitalic, Marcon, Stinger, Preds.
Also: Mee, Merlin, Asm, Piterius, Medium, Roland from Gilead.
Plus the locals: Lexa, Scorp, Mizrael.
Approximately 6 pairs will be seated to play at 10-00.
The remaining 7 pairs upon the arrival of the St. Petersburg players: Bayazet, AlexTheGreat, Kobra, Porizatel, TERM, JIOCb, Matrosoff. Also arriving are Napalm, Borzoid, General Yura, Van. These pairs will start at approximately 14-30.
The main thing is to get through the first round; it will be easier after that. By the way, the players are generally against separating seeded players from the general pool, so the main goal in the 1st round is to separate players from the same city into different pairs.
A solid partition between players is of course brutal
It's not solid, everything is done intelligently. One large, bright hall, just the playing areas are separated so you can't accidentally peek at your opponent.
My IMHO, if you're playing for money, what kind of hints are there at all? Otherwise, what's the point of these entry fees? There will always be complainers, the tournament is individual, not team. Either ban hints completely or leave the right to participate without an entry fee. Has anyone ever seen a single intellectual game where hints are randomly thrown around by both spectators and participants?
If both players say before the game that they don't mind friendly hints, then the judges turn a blind eye to the conversations. If one of the players says they are categorically against hints, then the judges will pay special attention to that game to ensure no hints are given.
Variants of hints like "but what... I didn't say anything, I just..." won't work; we'll be removing people from the hall, IMHO we're playing for money.
Read again about the match between Dilvish and Mystik; one hint changed the final result.
Also, spectators will be asked to choose one playing area and stay there; fortunately, many games are being played, so there will be plenty to watch.
Once again about meeting the guests.

1. Vigo, Vitalik, Slonysh + Vigo's friend. 4 people.
