People say their chance greatly increased next year. Sort of good news (NM)
On a related point for the future ...
If every year we have 8 people (top 4 players, 02 x open yearly) excluded from Open B Division Tournamnet, will one day we don't have enough people to decently get the Open B Division event going? This year, I think the number is minimum 40 people.
He is able to pick up on enemy's weak moves and exploit it using his strong foundations. Based on his games so far, he is very strong in kill moves and time control.
My Strategy:
In the future when I face him,
[1] Mentally, I would consider equal in chance for the game
[2] Use very aggressive or stable opening and avoid gungfu-style opening.
[3] Follow up on his weak moves. if any.
[4] Aim for a favourable end-game, if possible.
[5] Use tactics to reduce his advantages in fast thinking/strong foundation and hence the great difference in time used.
[6] Go pray for divine help before the game
Odds: 138:1

in time control I mean. I once saw before 46 min VS 5 min. I am not aware of his game situations at those points of time but I wouldn't be surprised if many enemies are KOed indirectly because of time.
Luckily, he is banned from Division B from next year and we happily let him bring misery to his Division A enemies in June 2010. Good Luck to them all. :-)
