I don't know.  If you had to go down I405 between 4:30 and 6:30PM, that's gold
medal hero stuff.  Or the 520 bridge on a rainy Monday morning?!  Of course,
both of these scenarios rule out the 10 minute thingy.

Refusing to play an opponent sounds more like a statement of purpose to me than
getting some tacos, but I am no expert about chess tournaments.
