Petrov's Defence Mini Tourney
Well, now I've found a nice place with free wifi and a goodly selection of ales, ciders and whiskeys (and whiskys), I need something to do with my time. (Ahhhh, who would be married with kids eh?  ) Now, redfox was the only person who actually voiced interest, everyone else's invitations are purely speculative, I kept it to the minimum 5 since, well, mini tourneys are called mini for a reason you know! Let me know, invitees, if you don't want to participate so I can reassign your spot tout de suite!

Otherwise, game on!

I meant to say thanks for the offer, John. If I didn't have an ongoing tourney right on, I would've accepted. But, after 6 games, especially in times like this, I'd be overwhelmed. If something like this is offered another time, it's unlikely that I'll be involved in other tourneys, and will try to arrange only one or two games. That way, I'd build enough time to accept. It's worth noting that each game in the ongoing is a WTW, which is why it's an anomoly to the WTWLTR since I posted that I have several ongoing. When all are over there will be a total of about 22 WTW games, and that does not count Jack. So, we're looking at 5 of the simultaneous games. It takes time, but like most of them, it started off with me talking the talk in my annotations, which resulted in that. Fun concept, isn't it?

Indeed Joe. Don't sweat it. As Janet advised me, it's best with mini tourneys not to try and twist and turn trying to arrange one around set players. Best just arrange it, send out invites, see who jumps on. With only 5 players there was, in truth, less spots than players I wanted to see in the tourney so if one can't make it, I get instead another player that will contribute just as much to the tourney, albeit in a different fashion.

Cheers and hope you can make the next one, which will be a while away, since I too, keep a very low games list.

since
you guys will play a Petrov tourney i think this game is useful. Strongest Woman in the World vs Strongest Man. But it is the ending that is important. ;full screen;youtu.be
