They have a free iphone/ipad application that you can use to see pairings/results/pictures: here

And the Android version: here

Strange: when I hover over the link for the Android App, the word "here" turns red but is not clickable... the only way to get it was to look at the value in the quote of your post! Here is the link again:

I like Perogies. When I was younger one of my friends Baba used to make great perogies and other dishes from that part of the world. Cabbage rolls, cold (not warm) borscht on a hot day and so forth.

Re: Round 1 pairings

Watching all the joy and excitement from the Olympics kind of makes me want to play an ICCF GM norm tournament. I've never played one of those before.

I hate lengthy retirements.

I love how all the photogenic girls are hugging, posing, and smiling because they know there is a picture, meanwhile we got Otchkous and Porper looking away having a conversation, Hansen and Noritsyn barely visible beyond the hairstyles, Gerzhoy looking the wrong way, and a total of 2 males looking at the camera properly ready for a picture.

That's how we do it men :D

Usually in a picture you want to show your most attractive features, so Edward is simply showing the left side of his face.

That's how men do it.

That may in fact be: Szczepkowska-Horowska
