A while ago, Donnie from Liquid Egg Products organized a nice chess blogger tourney on FICS. He announced the second "Tournament of Lepers" late April and I signed up for it, provided that it wouldn't start before June because I was very busy in May. Well, I am still busy at work and with private matters and totally forgot about it - until yesterday, when my trusty RSS reader notified me of the first round, and I am "in".

My first reflex was to leave a comment saying something like "sorry, I am way too busy". After all, I have already trouble keeping up with my correspondence games at ChessWorld. But on second thought, I decided to play. May be a few nice games against fellow chess bloggers are just the thing I need to relax a little. I just have to remind myself to take it easy and NOT curse myself for an hour or so after I lose. Anyway, first round this week - I will play White against Chessaholic.

Hi, good luck! By the moment I have only time for correspondance games tournament, but hope one I'll decide (and I'll can) join one OTB.

Enjoy it!

It would have been NP if real-life's telling you to cry "Uncle!"...especially since we have an odd number of participants...but glad you decided to stay all the same.
