In real life, Ruben looks like Harry Potter.

So this is what it’s like to follow sports: Whipping out your phone to check for updates every two seconds, gushing over stats, looking through pictures. I’m talking about following WDC in general. It’s exhilarating.

The Western openings are so standard. But down south, anyone else spot a Key?

W 1901:
Look at Italy, 3 fleets. Good for Conq.
And Russia played risky, but it worked. Good as well for Germany.

This really is a solid top board, with actual international representation. Goff is Australian, and I believe Ruben is French. I can’t remember if I’ve met Brad or Adam.

Bill H. made it to the seventh spot by the skin of his nose; his fourth round game was a tense contest. I’ll let Big Gun tell you about that.
