Title: Sportsmanship Award
Post by Fritzlein on Dec 24^th, 2004, 2:37pm

As some of you may know, I actually lost to BlackKnight in the quarterfinals of this year's World Championship. We were both having connection troubles on the day we were scheduled to play, but he managed to sit down and make the first move, whereas I was unable to connect before my time expired.

BlackKnight, however, graciously passed up this win by forfeit, and agreed to play the game over on the following day. This was an act of pure sportsmanship, putting the play of the game ahead of winning at all costs. I would like to donate $100 of my championship prize money to Blacknight as a sportsmanship award.

Thank you, BlackKnight, for showing us all how the game should be played.
