Hi guys,
This is 3 days now, and only the "International Arbiter..." message for the last
2 days.

Is it too niaive to think that some proper decision & announcement could have
been made within FIVE MINUTES?

Or if there is a time zone difference then within TWELVE HOURS?

Do dozens (hundreds? thousands?) of us just wait & show up, in my case at 1:30
in the morning, hoping there will be a game, wondering if things are in place to
complete that game.  Do we watch for 1/2 an hour & then wait while nothing
happens AGAIN?

Gees, what is it with ClubK?  They can't plan ahead, they can't plan for
contingencies, if a line goes down we wait for days for a decision.  How on
earth do these people play chess?

It's as if the Xie Jun - Junior match doesn't matter to the fans.  And it does.

I dunno, "Can't bowl, can't throw!" (a Aussie insult)

see ya's, I'm going to bed,
Tina Long
