I think this is really a very good idea, since it makes time management in tournament play a lot easier and (as you said in the video) Russia moving west is something happening 99% of the games anyway.

@Young:

I just offered him free accommodation at my place… problem solved.

Thanks for the info James.

Hey all,

I just registered as ‘Gernot’ for the FMG Con '17, I’m from Vienna/Austria (on YT my nickname is “B4hET”) and want to get put on the list, please.
Also I wanted to say again how thankful I am for Grasshopper giving me Accommodation for these days. This is so generous, I can’t tell you enough. Thank you!
I’ll get you some stuff from Austria (whatever you may be interested in, if it’s food I can take with me or anything else) at least, if not even paying for these days - I don’t want to bother anyone.

Thanks also for everybody giving me information on this thread depending travelling and so on. I’ve already found a flight, which I might take - just have to secure vacation in my workplace.
I’m very happy getting the chance joining this tournament!
