Looking forward to the next one.

Not exactly, the ski race ran over so I was not available :(
Maybe next time.

First of all thanks to Mgoetze, that was a great idea and was a lot of fun. Only thing that shadowed the fun of this event was we didnt have enough people to enjoy MP and thats definetely not Michael's fault.

Second, thank you to my dear pd Csaba for being polite and not cursing at me, because i played like a @#$%t. My bad play probably worn him out too. Sorry m8, but i had great fun, and seems like we amused matmat a lot. :P

My pd Csaba is the winner of this event ! Csaba played %45 and i played %4. But still congrats to Alex and Burak.

lol. I think I sucked too. Matchpoint scoring must be unfair if we somehow still got to 49%! :)

There were a lot of "action" hands in this 20 board event. Given that there were only 6 pairs and top on a board was 2 matchpoints (converted into percentages), the scores can be very random. It is kind of amazing how bunched the field was. Normally, when there is a small field, there are some very big games and some very small games.
