Reply #9: I am a mediocre club player

[Jack Rabbit]

I do this to improve my game. It helps.

I'll celebrate with a news update: Tiger won in Malmø; Grischuk leads in Baku; Katya Lahno is alone in first place going to the final round in the Plovdiv Ladies' competition; and going into the final round in the general competition in Plovdiv there is an eight-way tie for first. Also, Maire Sebag of France, the lone lady in the general competetition in Plovdiv, got what she was after by competing there: her third and final grandmaster norm. She far, she's shaken up what is otherwise a stag party with 6½ points out of the first ten rounds.
