Thank you Andrew for organising the tournament. It was thoroughly enjoyable.

Thanks to all my opponents for great games and sorry you had to play over a dead teddy bear.

Ben Vartok ...as a matter of good policy, of course!.... (but then... if living in the polis, the other members of the polity could take offense as banning political statements by necessity supports the current political setup...)....but yes, politics, naa, dirty!

Btw, is it a political statement (in current Aotearoa) that right and left are kinda interchangeable? Or am I just confused? Maybe be careful when back on the road...
