I love this site because you can enjoy the motivation of the organisator with
the "weakest" entries. Everyone can further go up. Everyone can win a tournament
of his range. That is just marvelous. Of course there are the tops. What is also

me, I came to that webpage by pure chance. Now I'm a permanent user.
