Paranormal activity

Just read the French write up for our nervy, edgy close run battle. They talk of a 2 hour delayed ferry crossing coming over; their luggage (chess sets and food) getting taken from them in transit as they had to put their larger baggages in a separate support vehicle on the ferry (interestingly they were going to mug up on variations of the Benko Gambit en masse during the crossing, but this was not to be...) ; of someone seeing a ghost on the crossing; of many staying up till 2am pre match day painting la ville rouge in Brighton's nightspots; of celebrating until 3am following their victoire. Do we have the stamina? They really enjoyed their whole trip but are already planning victory next year to bring the overall match score all square for a massive encounter in 2014. You have been warned.
