The Organizig Team

The staff of the organizing team did a great job. Ufuk (left) and his two charming girls were always busy.

From the start of the tournament, Abraham Eitan (left/ nick name=the commish, from commissioner), the tournament director started a long mony game session with Rageb Shadallah (right/nick name= mungo, from the animal that kills the snakes!). This session was pure entertainment for the kibitzers and lasted till 16th January (the last day).
If a player got hit by a long distance shot, his opponent only shouted "piiiiiick em up!" and the player had to place his checker on the bar by himself.
Kibitzers in the picture: Malcolm Davis, smiling and Eli Shvidler (right).
