So when Kurt provides me with the list of games to replay, that will be it. I will not be rerunning any others. I'm happy for you to collaborate with Kurt before he provides this final list as I respect your judgement. Be aware though that I doubt rerunning these games will have much effect on placings at all. The other thing that I find disappointing is that some of us spend all this time to run some interesting tournaments at decent time controls and all some a-holes (not you) can do is run the whole thing down on the rare occasion that they bother posting. I can see why the SSDF members might be becoming discouraged. The time aspect doesn't really bother me. 70 games will only take a week or so. Regards, Graham.
