Just as my post said originally and above -- I feel you *DO* have good chances and knowing how you'll prepare, I say that with even greater confidence. My point above was just stating my dislike for blitz matches settling such a tournament when the end result is being remembered as "finishing AFTER" such and such program (when tied before the blitz portion.) No one remembers the blitz part -- just the final rankings.... (and the assumption is obvious.) -elc.
