I'm researching lakes in southeastern states, as it seems to me to be a fun idea to take some days off in late Summer to spend time at a lake near other things to do.
Now I'm curious if the chess tournament I entered will have much turnout, as its website shows this "side event" of a major traditional tournament only has four advance entries. Although more will enter at the door, there might be some poetic justice in playing in a four person tournament, albeit such a tournament is less ideal when it is to last five rounds. I wonder if I will wish I had gone pier fishing instead, or perhaps read an improving book.
