I didn't.

I wouldn't be too concerned about it. In the worst case, reinstalling F532 (and
latest patch)would solve any problem, no?

I thought of it and I even started, but I have a silly problem: Rebel and Tiger
refuse to autoplay each other. In the 40/40 tournament I had to play the match
manually, but at blitz I couldn't do it fast enough. So I would have to leave
Rebel or Tiger out, and then I am not that interested in the tournament anymore.
