Re: Congratulations to Haizhou Xu
Dr Parmjit Sohal / Tanraj Sohal's Dad. I'm glad you brought this up. Allow me to refresh your memory on what occured at this tournament.
1) If there was an Invitational tournament where there are all GM's and IM's I would have gladly played in that rather than the Langley Open but alas there wasn't.
2) It's not like I had a choice as to who I played. I would have gladly played Butch or Alfred early on and have a competitive game but Swiss sys pairings don't allow that to happen.
3) As I recall, in the 4th round I played your son after you and your wife told him to take a bye to avoid playing me due to "sickness" after seeing the pairings 15 minutes before the round started. How did that attempted bye go for him?
4) I took 2 byes because university started and my classes would already begin by the time the tournament was finished. I asked the TD beforehand if this was possible as I wouldn't have played if that wasn't an option. I'm fairly confident I would have either won the tournament outright if I played all 6 rounds or tied it with Alfred or Butch seeing as they were the only masters in the tournament.
I'm glad you think $300 is a bucket-load of money and that all BC players including your son are weak. Shows a lot of character coming from you and your wife, known troublemakers in the community.
