My new rant of the day. Why do tournament organizers pack us in so tight that people that want to get in & out can't help but force their way between the chairs, disturbing everyone else often & randomly.
A little planning might resolve this. Especially when there are tables not being used at the back of the tournament hall.
Also why do some people still insist on saying check or echeces in a loud voice. Are there really any tournament players out there who don't know when they are in check?
Best new thing I've seen, taping a crash bar open so it doesn't make noise everytime someone goes in or out. Now that's well thought out. Of course the parents of players standing at the door holding it open & having discussions defeats the purpose a bit.
Just call me the grouchy chess player. I think I'm spoiled by playing online so much. No noise, no chair charging, just sweet peace and quiet.
