This is one of my favourite tournament weeks of the year. I get to type this blog sitting on my sofa after just finishing a nice home-cooked meal. When you have to eat out as much as we do it really doesn't get any better!

In fact, unless you are paired with him (something I have not yet experienced) or in one of the groups near him you can easily go a whole week without seeing him at all.
