I have been informed that several of the players are (reasonably) unhappy about bringing in a sub who is apparently an extremely strong chess player, and have requested the match not be played with said sub. That is reasonable to me.
We won’t be able to have the match today and it sounds like tomorrow is bad for at least some people, so if people could post their availability for next Saturday I would appreciate it. Caffeine, if you can’t find a different sub then I’ll play for you and we will do garnet spending reveals on a countdown, if the players are ok with that.
