Among the remaining ?'s, I have tried to email John Kipling Lewis, Nasmichael Ferris and Calvin Pomerantz without success. I don't expect them to play [Added note: Turns out I was wrong about John Kipling Lewis] because for one thing, Nasmichael Ferris didn't make a single move in his first game (of Alice Chess) and therefore Sam Trenholme won on time. Calvin Pomerantz played six moves of his tournament game of Anti-King Chess II and then Michael Schmahl won on time. John Kipling Lewis stopped playing his tournament game of Korean Chess after move 3, and lost on time to Gary Gifford.

I have asked someone (Je Ju) to confer with Juan Rodriguez about whether he intends to continue playing. I suspect he will.

I have tried to write to 'Bogot Bogot', but the email had bounced. He did successfully complete a short game against Abdul-Rahman Sibahi in his first tournament game. I don't think we can count him out of this tournament necessarily yet though. Bogot Bogot's presence here has been highly sporadic lately and I worry about him and miss his playing presence here. He is a good sport and so willing to try many different games. Hopefully he is just taking a hiatus, but maybe his internet access is spotty and hopefully nothing worse. [I would send Bogot Bogot an invite for his next game and just hope he shows up at some point. Since he actually completed his first game, it's only fair to assume that he's still participating.]

Nobody has heard anything from Fergus Duniho to my knowledge. Fergus, a great chess variant inventor and creator of the PBM Game Courier system, was running this tournament but he delayed the start quite a bit and then lost on time in his first tournament game.
