Great Numbers! What happened to Memphis? The site was excellent. Everyone had fun playing with no real conflicts with rules. Several players in the Novice section claimed insufficient losing chances and both games ended in a draw. One of the players had just seconds on his clock and the flag fell while trying to make a claim.
