Right now I’m in eastern Quebec, but will be in western Labrador starting mid-day Thursday…likely nothing for several days. I’ll have one of those satellite phones they give out for free, for use only in emergency, but usually no cell phone, but I’ll see if the Labrador City signal is available at times….it could be. GH

And now that you've said that, you've fated the Russian to win the entire tournament.

Shapo was one of my backups! New SP rule: No Canadian men.

Five years ago, the Canadian invasion was all the rage. Now their three best players lost in the first round.

For years my round 1 SP rule was find a Canadian to pick against. May have to bring it back. Funny that combined Canadian men and women went 1-4, and the only one winning was ... Gabriel Diallo?
