Of course, I know very well that it is a common name in China. But it is not so much in Britain, so three of them there together has at least the possibility of them being related. Common as the name Smith is in Britain, I would at least there that there would be a possibility of three Smiths in a tournaments in China being related.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).
I notice that at the bottom of the list somebody called Tethys has entered. There was one UK player who changed his name to Weed, I wonder if this is something similiar.

macelee, ah so that guy was you. Will you visit again? Would be nice to say hi.
Unfortunately I am away and won't be visiting again this time. Hope to see you again in the next big tournament. I really should spend less time online and play more real games.
