My comments on Shredder's Blitz performance were not meant negatively. Instead, I wanted to praise Stefan's professional operating skills. I know very well how strong his brainchild is, and indeed place 3 in the main tournament is a fantastic result. Congratulations ! Concerning the Blitz tournament, let me give Crafty as an example in the other direction. I don't know by whom it was operated, but be sure: With Bob Hyatt at the keyboard it would have made 40 percent more points ( at least ! ). :) Ingo Althoefer. PS: By the way, who is Rodney Donglefield ?
