Jonathon writes from Warsaw:
Blitz tournament started great. I beat (GM Viktor)Bologan with black and narrowly lost with white.
(Editor - check out board 10 http://www.poloniachess.pl/amplico2010/blitz/pairing&1.html)
But then it went way downhill from there. I hung way too many mates in won positions to count. I'm sure I made a lot of kids happy :P I think 50% of my opponents were girls as well...
All clocks face the same direction and colors are always on the same side. You are required to physically get up from the board and walk around the long tables to start the 2nd game.

Zaczek finished in 232nd place
