Today is a great day, @quid !

And, @quid, only one more round left in the Norway tournament! The only way Carlsen won't be the sole winner after round 9 is if Levon ARONIAN wins in classic mode, and Carlsen loses in classic mode, thus leading to a tie in the tournament ... to be resolved. But I'd be a fool not to bet on Carlsen winning, straight out.

Any way, @quid, hope you've had a good week, and do something fun this weekend!

Hello @Namaste It was alright but a bit stressful. I'll make sure to heed your advice And, I hope, that you'll heed your own advice! :-)

@quid Yeah, I'll make sure to heed your advice! :-)

Are you teaching this summer, @quid?

Or are you wrapping up the spring term? (Or both?)

@Namaste it's more wrapping up, but it's a bit difficult this year.

Oh wow, @quid. I just saw that the ninth round of the Norway tournament was completed today (you probably knew this when you red my comment above!)

@Namaste yes, but I think when you wrote it, it was not yet finished.

@quid correct! I see the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th positions were very tight. (10 to 10.5).
