As you should know, luck always plays a part.  Both bad luck and good luck.  I
could lose to _anybody_ in any game.  But overall my probability to do well
doesn't look _that_ bad, based on the kind of performance I was seeing in the
last CCT event...

Remember, too, that _I_ am not the person that predicts victory and has to make
excuses when it doesn't happen.  All I'll say is "Crafty will be _very_
competitive whether it wins or loses all games..."  If it wins, great.  Been
there, done that, got two T-shirts already.  If it loses, that's ok as well.  At
least it will be there.  And you-know-who can't continue his nonsense about why
I don't participate...  The reason is and always has been about the time
required, not about winning chances.  Otherwise I would have stayed home in 1989
knowing that my (or anyone's) chances of beating Deep Thought were way down
there...

I can take my lumps.  I don't particularly like taking a lot of crap however. :)
