The Geneva Bughouse Gathering 2006
| nabla | 2006-08-26, 17:13:49 | | Thank you Andrew, Nathalie, Rodolphe and Matthias for your funny inputs, the picture galleries are more lively now ! |
| nabla | 2006-08-24, 23:32:09 | | Who forgot a pair of Adidas sunglasses on the playing table of the Parc des Bastions on Monday ? |
| nabla | 2006-08-24, 20:54:35 | | Thanks a lot Nathalie for adding your comments, I hope that the others will do it too ! |
| nabla | 2006-08-24, 13:39:03 | | The pictures are now online but I did not have time to comment on them yet, please contribute :-) |
| FantasticCat | 2006-08-23, 12:38:15 | | Thanks Fabrice, Wayra and Rodolphe for a really great gathering. Although the bug ended at midnight on Monday night, we carried on playing 1 0 winners in the park for the next 3 1/2 hours! Beware ever playing Fabrice at this game, as he transforms from a mild-mannered very friendly person into an all-consuming blitz monster! I am surprised the 1 0 blitz ever stopped as both Fabrice and myself kept playing as we thought the other one wanted to carry on. As for Rodolphe, I think he would still be playing now if someone hadn't called last! |
| fermy | 2006-08-23, 06:24:14 | | Yup, a great gathering, hopefully not the last. Thanks all! |
| TheBestGirl | 2006-08-23, 00:49:52 | Thanks to Rodolphe, Fabrice & Wayra for organising a great gathering! (++ cake)
Also a thanks and 'hi'to all participants for showing up, it was fun to bug with you guys.
Nathalie.

| Ishamael | 2006-08-22, 18:11:15 | | Many thanks to nabla, tjeulesbetes and wayra for organising another great gathering! |
| nabla | 2006-08-22, 17:24:00 | Thanks to everyone for the great time we had !
The website texts have already been updated and you can contribute with your own anecdotes. The pictures will follow soon (for now, beware that the links to the pictures are pointing to last year's pictures !) |
| nabla | 2006-08-21, 11:07:38 | And good news, today's forecast is even slightly better than yesterday's. Rain is supposed to be possible only in the morning, I hope that it won't be late.
Anyway, the meeting point and time are of course the same, 1PM at the Parc des Bastions. See you soon ! |
| nabla | 2006-08-20, 10:08:17 | As you can see if you watch outside, we will be able to play at the Parc des Bastions.
If I read the weather forecast well, there should not be rain today, but this is not a 100% bet.
Rodolphe : yesterday we forgot to take games and clocks from the Club with us, be I will take care of that ; meeting point is still the Parc at 1 PM. |
| tjeulesbetes | 2006-08-16, 06:24:57 | | the latest gossip is that even the quantic participants might turn up (and even promising to bring some food) |
| nabla | 2006-08-15, 13:33:41 | | For the moment, registered are you, TheBestGirl, Firefly, pagloppaglop, FantasticCat, fermy, Ishamael, moosejaw, of course Tjeulesbetes and me, maybe Tecumseh. Then there will be the locals who don't like to announce themselves in advance :-) |
| nabla | 2006-08-15, 13:28:48 | The address is in the program !
Rodolphe Francey
chemin de Montesquiou 9
1213 Onex
In case that your nice lady doesn't know it, the simplest would probably be to meet at the highway exit, which is only 3-4 km away. |
| schorle | 2006-08-15, 11:08:36 | Hey nabla,
where does the event at friday happen? Do you have an address - the friendly girl in my car wants to know where to drive to :-)
BTW, how many people will join the gathering? |
| fermy | 2006-08-13, 12:14:13 | Hehe.
Do as you see fit, I'm off to the conference today, quite unlikely that I'll find the time to search for the partner :). |
| nabla | 2006-08-13, 09:02:50 | | fermy, better forget about Rodolphe's jokes, I am sure that I can find a more reliable partner for you. The one he refers to is... how would I say... quantic ? |
| tjeulesbetes | 2006-08-08, 01:30:22 | | I am afraid it's YOU who don't know the trouble YOU are getting into ;-) |
| fermy | 2006-08-06, 18:49:18 | | Sounds good to me. Does the prospective partner know what he is getting into? |
| nabla | 2006-08-06, 18:27:13 | | And the recommended partner has a better FIDE title than mine... |
| nabla | 2006-08-06, 18:26:43 | Noooope !
I am always at time at tournaments I organize :-) |
| fermy | 2006-08-06, 18:24:10 | | Is his name nabla by any chance? :-D |
| tjeulesbetes | 2006-08-06, 07:27:07 | fermy, I could recommend you a local partner, fide-titled, whom I suspect might have a similar reliability about respecting tournament schedule; he is well known for never blaming his partner to be late ;-)
I am already looking forward a couple of horseshit lines ;-) |
| fermy | 2006-08-04, 00:16:11 | I'm coming, looking for a part with strong nerves.
A little warning: I'm returning from the conference on Saturday and should be just in time (read very, very close to 15:00) for the tournament. So think twice if you want to partner me :). |
| nabla | 2006-07-28, 17:26:53 | | Fortunately my e-mail address is all right again. |
| nabla | 2006-07-25, 11:07:17 | | Unfortunately I am having temporary problems with my e-mail address and can't be reached reliably by e-mail. For the moment you can use this forum instead, and I will inform you as soon as my e-mail is working again. Sorry for the inconvenience. |
| Laurent Schneider | 2006-07-19, 15:01:41 | | I am coming, and I am looking for a partner :-) |
| nabla | 2006-07-19, 10:04:52 | | Yesssssss ! |
| FantasticCat | 2006-07-19, 01:32:46 | | Nabla, do you still have a good feeling about the gathering?- I will be coming! |
| nabla | 2006-07-07, 22:49:33 | | fermy should be there too. I am already having a very good feeling about this gathering :-) |
| schorle | 2006-07-07, 20:28:57 | | I will join for the first time! |
| Firefly | 2006-07-07, 18:30:27 | I'm planning on coming.
|
| Nathalie / TBG | 2006-06-30, 22:33:42 | | I guess I have to show up since the gathering in 2004 was so nice and unfortunately I wasnt able to come in 2005... :) |
| Rodolphe | 2006-06-06, 00:27:47 | | I guess i have to show up to a gathering in the town I come from ... ;-) |
| Ishamael | 2006-05-26, 18:28:43 | | I guess i have to show up to a gathering in the town i live in ... :) |
| nabla | 2006-05-21, 19:22:09 | | I solemnly declare the subscriptions for the 2006 gathering open ! |
