I'll accept tomorrow, but my first few moves will be really slow. I've got a big project taking up all my time.

A week has passed.
I must note\admit that I've been taking this challenge very seriously. While I don't have much time on my hands (I have a family to care of, job to be done,renovation of my new flat to attend, Russian fighting tourneys to run and quite a few other things both in real life and in internet), I spent a while preparing for this match. I worked on openings, talked game theory to my GBA mates (thanks to everyone again!), studied ExDeath's old games and so on and so forth. More importantly, I had to postpone some things in my schedule to free up some time for this match to ensure I'll have time to analyse properly and play a good game. I also altered my behavior in my open games to show things I wanted to show and to hide things I wanted to hide.
But it appeared I was the only one to take all this seriously. As everyone can see by reading this thread, ExDeath didn't really put any value to this battle, failing to attend the challenge he started himself. Moreover, he didn't bother to apologize for this delay, barely stating that "I've got a big project taking up all my time". He was online a few days ago (Last Login Date: 29 Jan, 2009, 2:46am), but he didn't bothered. I'm not going to talk about things like duels and honour, I'll put it simple and egoistical: considering this attitude, I don't see any reasons why I should postpone my own projects or let it affect my timetable any further.
I'm officially withdrawing from this 'challenge', as it is obviously failed by it's creator. Should ExDeath keep second part of his promise (about getting back to the game and representing BR in league), I'm sure we will meet in a rated game sooner or later. But as for participating in special\RP event run by him - thanks, but I've had enough.

everything i have heard from exdeath on this board has given me the impression that he is trying to preserve his status as a master and not necessarily do anything to maintain it.
