ah well, let Kweichow be a good way to end this game. Not that it was the start or end of my problems.

Congratulations Gamerman01. As with my game against Allweneed, a class above me.

Thank you - my reward is another really tough game and I already have one with Wheatbeer  :-P

I enjoyed playing, and again, appreciate the sportsmanship

Looking forward to the rematch

Still awaiting your decision on the bidding  :-)
