I tend to agree CT's result in this tournament isn't exactly surprising or bad (short tournament+strong amateurs+hardware disadvantage=huge upset chances), but I'm still surprised he didn't try to win. Doesn't everyone like to win? Then again, IIRC, CT easily won all previous French Champs, so in that case it's understandable they wanted to make the competition a bit more open. -- GCP
