First game, I resigned immediately, it had no point (definitely with the rest of my draw, normally good)
the VERY NEXT game, Ata played vs Altren ..
Altren tried to play, credit goes to him, but of course, the result was expectable, more or less. When 2 very good/top players fight each other, terrain makes a big difference..
Concretely, in this EC it decided the winner ..
And at the top of it, EC before where I met Ata .. I had almost the same terrain with only difference - Ata got screwed also ..
I thought this has been solved LOOONG time ago.. apparently not.
Along with other things, like removing power from ECs .. makes me want to quit.
(Or at least take a break, because addicts cannot quit.)
