Hi Slupmi, can't wait to see more. No end-of-season special matches over at your end of the country?

All be damned! I'm getting a slice of Fastarc G1/1.8 and donate that to my BH. And a slice of Goldarc 8 (no relative) 50/2.1 for my FH and see what happens. Can I kick it?

It's an entirely new approach towards dental surgery.

Played that R32 knockout match in the Cup Tourney. 4 on 4 plus two doubles makes for 18 matches. We took the lead, they tied, we lead again, and after 6 hours of play reached 9-9. We then dominated the tiebreaking 19th doubles match. Yay for us. Done at half past two in the morning...

It’s a plant that carries fruit. Rather large red berries, somewhat datelike. Round and red (green when unripe).

Yay for Adam. He's bringing good insights, and these days more often than not manages to contain his overenthusiasm as not to interfere too much with the actual game while still adding colour and depth to it. He tended to go over the top quite often a while ago, I don't see much of that...

Regional cup tournament tonight! Round of 32, and the heat is on. We won that cup two years ago, and (unjustly, in my eyes) lost the final last year. We're eager to regain that cup and stoked for tonight's match. Will there be footage? This I do not know. I'll to into deep focus during.

Yes, oversensitive is the obvious dismissal. But I'll gladly take the accusation of oversensitivity with the Poet's words in mind: “Master, what is it that I hear? Who are those people so defeated by their pain?” And he to me: “This miserable way is taken by the sorry souls of those who...

I was shocked when watching that earthshattering win by Mima Ito over Zhu Yuling, and have been wondering ever since: how can you recover from such a defeat? The only vindication I can conceive of is to reverse the table by way of a crushing victory in a rematch. But that hasn't happened, and...

Many things are. That doesn’t make them any less real. It does put them into perspective; there are worse things, of course. But there always are; that relative perspective is relative itself.

Actually, to minds like mine the leap from GOAT to Gröfaz isn’t all that big. Ahem. I do understand the drive for the epic narrative. Complete with distinctive terms of endearment, colourful and evocative. Man is the storytelling animal after all. The challenge there is not getting trapped...

If you like the Strato's Hinoki feel, the Septear Lead's probably a very good blade if you like the handle, the blade balance. It's probably a bit lighter than most Korbels too, although heaviness as perceived in my experience has more to do with blade balance than with actual weight. It will...

I'm with you, Suga. Adam's grown to be a great commentator, but would do better to exit that dictatorship-glorifying rut he's in every now and then.

Works just fine for me, and my style is a bit Gatienish at times. Not that level, of course.

Not buying into the Ito choosing to loose to hide game secrets conjecture. It’s all out there anyway, and I just can’t believe she could, even if she wanted to. She might have fallen prey to underestimation and lack of motivation. She might have had a lesser day, as we all do now and then...

That is where blades break. It usually happens after a table hit, collision with a doubles partner, or after mistreatment in aggravation (throwing it, hitting it against your leg or handpalm). But there’s also simple wear and tear over time. Moist might help, softening the wood and loosening...

May ZJK try for this title once more! Last year it was a treat to see him compete at the highest level again, with the very close final a nailbiter of outstanding intensity. It’s a bit much to ask for, I know. One final flareup…

Of course, Dicnics would have landed that final FH on the table for ZY for sure. Just sayin’.

As Harimoto moved the battleground closer to the table he gained the upper hand. Up to that point the future outlook was bleak, with Zhou Yu dominating away from the table in FH diogfights.

That's one part of the pro's at big tournaments I don't think I fully get. I've heard them say (and seen them do) that before big matches they train intensively by playing test matches shortly prior to actual matchplay. I do understand about getting ultrasharp match focus, but do not really...
