Oh shit this is highly unlucky.
5/6 februari are 2 rounds masterclass competition in the national
league here. First 2 rounds. I play for Utrecht.
I now remember there might be a german computerchampionship at the same
time too.
So this tournament would play at the same dates as the german tournament.
That is no good. Let's move it a week back!
