As a chess parent I find the lead-up to a "big" tournament a nerve racking experience. I enjoy being a part of the event, but nerves often get the best of me and force me to go for a walk or do something completely removed from the games. I have learned that my daughters do an excellent job of fending for themselves and seeing the situation on the board much better than an anxious father. I do wish that I could transfer a calm perspective, and, again, that's difficult to do when I'm not exactly exuding calmness myself.
I hope that the crosstables are out soon for the team championships. It will be nice to see the official results. For a stat guy like me a crosstable can give hours of entertainment.
Let's see what tomorrow brings!
