What does the Capitol have to do with it? The post is completely off-topic! You don't know how I play, and you just start… I’m talking about Новичок players; there are ALMOST none of them here! And this isn't a Novice tournament! We simply need to clearly understand that the word "Новичок" attracted me, and I am indeed new. But what's the point in playing against an opponent who, using chess terminology, is a Candidate Master (кмс) when I'm an International Master? You lose right away. No one plays against Ivanchuk from the very first tournaments...

SO CALL THE TOURNAMENT BY ITS CORRECT NAME, and provide clear definitions for different types of tournaments. That's my message. Nothing more, nothing less. And don't tell me that I'm too lazy to learn how to play, or excuse your losses.

And someone mentioned battles… so they must be familiar with these concepts.
