Yes, I think we were pretty evenly matched.  Not surprising we got a draw.
Would be nice to teach the program how to be a bit more aggresive.  As a matter
of fact, I'd like to play that one out, assuming a non rep.  See what happens.

I liked your recap, nice stuff.  This was my first tourney too, and I think it
went well for me.  Had the sweaty palms and all.  Only wish I had drawn v
lambchop, was close to it.

It was nice to participate in something like this, and I look forward to it
again.  The TD's were great, and acted decisively and responded well.  I would
have liked to see a TD sidekick, to give a running commentary.  Perhaps a
personable IM/GM could be enlisted next time.

See you on ICC.

Will
