    This is a historic occasion ....... :D

    When a lone Uncle, triumphed against overwhelming odds .......:D:D

    Without his trusty "protection", the tripod ......... :D:D:D

    Battling much meaner, tougher (and younger) opposition ..........:D:D:D:D

    All hail the great Uncle, UNCLE LOH!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

    The support of Weird n Worst, Cat n Kitten, Boys n Girls are more powerful than the trusty "protection":D:D:D

    I didn't beat him. He motivated me to do my best after Anna Rice dumped me in the most unlikely juncture.

    At my most nerve wrecking moments, I could only count on the strength of my younger teammates for my last two surviving bullets. It's like playing the Russian roulette! :cool:

    That was a good "National Service" Campaign, don't you think? Gives Uncle Loh additional courage to battle the "touts and undesireable elements" over Terminal 2, Bandara Soekarno Hatta next month ...... :D Indeed, a lot of people don't know their potential until they are sent to the "Sharks".

    I've been in "International Service", just got back late yesterday. Missed the Indian Open.

    I'm starting to realize that my defeat was a luck even for me!:D So many people got excited, became happy, and I've read so many compliments!:) When I was a winner of the previous PAW, it was much more boring...:):confused: I'm scared to think what would happen if Uncle Loh were missed one of his last PAWs... It would simply spoil the festival!:crying: Thank goodness, it ended luckily...:D Now in doubts what to do in the next PAW tournament...:confused: Sometimes the first place is not the best one...:eek::D:D

    OK, I'm not overestimating my abilities. My goal for the next PAW is to be in top 10, and I know it will be difficult... But for the team competition our goal is to perform as usual, and I know we can.:D

    Dmitry, you see, just by losing to me in the last breadth, you gain popularity, better than the first position you won during the Polish IC.

    How about doing it the second time? :D:D:D

    But not to worry, I've got no more strength to challenge you in the way you play your pieces. Maybe my younger teammates will be able to replace me. Russians are well-known for playing an excellent chess game. Keep it up Dmitry! :) ;)
