Thought the service would be better this early in the tournament. 😉
Still waiting on my black russian from my Potapova loss on day 2.

Based on those descriptions, this has to be the most appropriate losers’ lounge drink ever!

Especially when you go out in the first round!

I've had it once... I really didn't know how to describe it to ponchi, it's so weird. Best chased with cheap beer (also a Chicago tradition).

And we apologize profusely.
It's on the house (as well as whatever you fancy when you get your other cheek here) ;)

These are a must from any Oslo supermarket or the Himkok bar . Himkok may well describe Casper, but in fact means "moonshine"
cheers.

For the second day in a row I am waiting on delayed matches to see if I live or die in the Pool. I am both alive and dead. A Schrodingers Catgut if you will ... so a quickle double single malt to tide me over in this woeful state please.

Poor Kathy. Getting a hit put on her while Katie Boulter goes free for her transgression! :lol:
It seems like time is going backwards towards 1984 . . . :freaking:

Now, onto my drink order. I'll start with Baijiu, in honor of my Zhang pick. Never had it before, so if anyone has a recommendation for the type, please let me know. Then, in Siniakova's honor, I'll finish with a double shot of a nice Czech Slivovitz.
