Nobody mentions the _horrible_ timing.  Next week is the Thanksgiving holiday
here in the US, one of the two most revered holidays we have (Christmas being
#1 of course).  Whatever idiot chose to take the _entire_ Thanksgiving week
for this event deserves the "moron of the year" award for all time...

If it were held in the USA I would not attend a tournament _next_ week.  Here,
Thanksgiving is a time when families gather.  Not scatter to the four corners
of the planet to play chess...

Just goes to show how _far_ out of touch the ICGA really is nowadays...
