Mr. Valenok, please provide a report on the second game, or I will have to flip a coin to determine the result/assign technical points, etc. As I understand it, the game was played a long time ago. Palach has been on vacation since May 24th; I hope he can resume the match immediately upon his return. He and Artem have the second game on this save. Grizwald, if there were serious reasons for not playing within the deadline, you could always have informed me, as I wrote in the first post. In cases of force majeure, exceptions and small extensions will be granted (if the opponent doesn't object). After all, this is the final stage, and the match promised to be exciting.
