Dear Players,

For those planning to attend or to tempt others as reminder that we will start with a technical session. I have a few questions from players:

• Setting up LZ0
• Setting up SF NNUE
• Play Like Rallabandi
• BluePrint 2300
• What is backsliding and how does it work

If you have anything any burning questions let me know in advance, as it is far easier to give an reasonable answer in the limited time we will have with some preparation in advance

Russell
