Hi Doug,

I seem to have had some Fido problems, and I haven't seen game 16 of K vs K.
I've seen 17 & 18, but for some reason, not 16...
BTW, has anyone responded to my attempt at getting some chatter going?  I don't
see any, but perhaps someone responded while I was having some Fido trouble.

Had a great time at the Canadian Open Chess Championship!  I'd have to say that
the highlight for me was drawing GM Leonid Yudasin in a simul!  I actually had
a winning position, but he sacked a rook, leaving me up a rook & pawn (2 
connected passers on the queenside, one isolated pawn on queenside, one isolated
pawn on K-side against his 3 connected pawns on K-side [i wouldn't have had any
trouble stopping them] pieces: I had queen, rook, bishop. he had queen, bishop)
up, but after the rook sack, he likely had a perpetual
check, and if I went for a win, he had possibly lethal counterchances (I had a
back up of a forced draw with perpetual check if I wanted it).  Incidentally,
Yudasin's rating was 2615 & he also seemed great at blitz chess...

If possible, could you just put out a message of all the K vs K games?

Regards,
Adrien.
