Does the fact that Jeremy and Matt were recently at Burning Man seem to be more than a coincidence that they end up, shortly later, holding the trophies?

There are additional aspects to Problem 1 the analysis failed to explore further. I doubt that I would have picked up on it had I not taken the lesson: “Run or Stay” (Pay now, Pay Later) with Phil & Perry. Perry has this knack of bringing the best out of you; he certainly put me through the ringer. The aspects I speak of are “Timing & Structure” Generally pervasive in the Opening & Middle game but subtly so in PvP. Here, the race is evenish and though Flexibility was mentioned , it failed to acknowledge the key elements of the position – Timing & Structure. Slotting the bar and increasing the weight of the 8 replenishes Red’s timing and structural concerns.

If anyone wishes enhamce upon this, please do.

See ya

I was wondering if these seminars could be archived so that people could go back and review them. It would be nice to be able to go back and review some of the important aspects of the seminars.
