Thank you for the kind words. Perhaps you should organise a petition?Ljubica Lazarevic wrote:Given that Sean has single-handedly created some of the most high-quality tournaments available in England, successful for a number of years, it is imperative to find out what has lead to this.
Having had to experience the most horrendously organised and administered tournaments in my chess-playing history this past weekend, it is critical to encourage tournament organisers like Sean.

Ms Lazarevic lost in the last two rounds, to people graded 199 and 204. I suspect that her opinion of the tournament is not entirely unrelated to this fact.
