Uhm… It was one of those fast ones, 24h per move. It had a weird shape bottom right, I resigned this morning, one of the other players has a long name, starting with n. I think one or two were familiar players, but I don’t remember anything else.

Maybe a low tolerance for units unacceptable for use with SI?

If the participants weren’t mature, why should the audience be?
