Comrade, thank you so much for your words. It was really kind of you. We'll wait a little while, and we'll see... there are a lot of talented players here. You're a great player of this pool, too (and a brilliant member of our "colony"). This year... I'm certainly happy about my personal performance, whatever it brings in the end. Thank you again for your words, @MortalCaso.
