Something came to mind:
Episode #1.
January 2013, Moscow, a club championship organized by Nagan. My friend Matroskin and I celebrated the results of the first round so well that we couldn't get up for the second round due to our condition. Nagan tried to wake us up, and I even woke up and, to avoid disrupting the tournament schedule, suggested that we and Matroskin be randomly assigned to the second round, with the comment, "We'll figure out who goes further ourselves."
Nagan readily agreed, and the other participants were also aware, but no one had any objections. Because this is a common practice in club tournaments.
I'm just curious - if either I or Matroskin had won the tournament, would Nagan complain that the champion was illegitimate, that it was achieved through collusion, etc.?
Episode #2
May 2012, Yekaterinburg, CIS championship.
In the first round, one player is missing to complete the bracket, Bloodlacker registers (and pays the entry fee) with the condition that he be placed in the first round against Stinger. After that, he forfeits without playing. No one has any objections.
And Stinger eventually becomes the champion.
Nagan, what do you think - shouldn't you reconsider your attitude towards Stinger's championship?
Episode #3
January 2011, Kingisepp, a qualifier for the CIS-2011 tournament in Michurinsk.
In the semi-finals of the tournament, I play against Cobra. After about a month of playing on Jebel, the situation is somewhere between a stalemate and a long, drawn-out game. It's already 5 a.m., everyone is tired and wants to sleep, so I offer Cobra to concede the victory to him for a certain percentage of the prize money if Cobra wins the tournament. Cobra agrees, the organizer (Napalm) doesn't object, and neither do the spectators. Cobra eventually wins the tournament.
I suggest that, in light of the newly revealed circumstances, Cobra's silver medal for the CIS-11 should be annulled, and the entire tournament should be annulled due to the judge's misconduct. Eric, what do you think?
