You can encourage those who started playing 8mm6 to finish it in one go. They can definitely manage it within a day.
That's a good idea. Invest time in one game, and then sleep for 3 days afterwards.
I must sadly inform you that January 3rd and 4th are working days in Belarus, and I won't be able to get time off from work. And that's already 3 trips at my own expense this year. I risk not being able to participate in the CIS tournament and letting down the entire community. So, see you in May in Minsk... Have a good rest and enjoy playing.
That's a shame, but hopefully, it won't be the last time, as they say. Good luck with organizing the CIS tournament!
