and from here he should've done: U'BU'LU2L' (18 moves total, beaten the scramble by 1 move!)

but he did something like: U2BLU'LF'L'FU'L' (22 moves total)

I did the double x-cross thing, and my continuation was like the 18-moves one.. I totally don't get why you would do the 22-moves when the 18-moves solution was so obvious :P but that's just me :fp

but very nice found anyway :D

no, not just you, as Olivér said (köszbazmeg :p) anyone else would find it. I was the first to find it, but if I didn't, then someone else would, it was so obvious

Congratulations to István!

Although, to be honest, I'm not really happy to see yet another lucky Fridrich solution such as the previous WR and the winning solve of the World Championships. But that's just a fault of the current format, nothing personal at all!

Sorry about the jealous rant. :p

István was looking for only pairs and tried to do some of them. so that he found the first 13 (12) moves, but messed up the ending.
 
Did you know?

- at the way to Czech we stopped at a parking lot at the highway, found out that the exit was blocked, wanted to go back and then found out the entrance was blocked too?? (we used a bit of spacial thinking to find a way between some rocks)
- we were in 3 hours of traffic jam at 3 in the night?????
- STRIPCLUB!!!!!!
- I failed at EVERYTHING, except for BLD where I got 2nd best for me...
- Joël and me were racing a bit, got in a conversation with an interested mom who had her children there at the chess tournament. She told us she was quite good at chess too so I asked her what her name was... she replied: Sofia Polgar... we were like: :eek: :eek: SOFIA POLGAR!!!!
later she promised me a lightningchess game but because of time schedule we didn't come to it... I hope she sends me the picture of us together.

-
- Kanneti: 'ette te te te te te' (when he isn't finished with inspection yet)
- The last race with Kanneti is never the last race :D
- deeper deeper deeper deeper deeper
- I like the numbers 0 7 8, I just got them in the wrong order...

- Saturday evening I dislocated my shoulder at the swimming pool during doing butterfly, it snapped back again instantly and caused me to have some handicap during the Sunday events :(

- Joël can now do a flip from the diving board?
- Frank can now do a dive from the diving board?

- Fabian has the potential to be as fast as Faz if he had lookahead...
- Bence is ****ing crazy!!! (and lucky)

That's really cool! :D
I actually got to play her sister (Susan) in an exhibition game a couple years ago.

Wow! The only famous chess player I've met is Robert Hübner, who I happened to beat in a simultaneous game ;). He speaks fluent Finnish, which is kind of mind boggling. :)
 
Attention competitors!

A stack mat timer and a stopwatch is still missing, so I would like to ask you all, to check all your stuff from Czech Open. If you find anything which is not yours, let us all know here. Stuffs like these can be mixed with your own stuff easily, there is no problem with that, as soon as you give it back. As you can imagine it's really annoying to miss something.

Thank you!

Olivér Perge

For starters: I found a small, light blue blindfold. If anyone misses that, let me know!
 
Did you know...

-We were the first who arrived
-it was scorching like hell
-As usual, I failed at bigblind
-but, I was third in feet like in last year, again with more than 1 minute difference from the winner, and again without any practicing
-I didn't fail so much at multi that I wasn't on the podium (I was the 3rd^^)
-I guess I'm the only one who writes about cubing in 'did you know'
-although, 48.05 4x4 WTFF?
-Benyó, buzi vagy!!!
-Charlie was 3rd in clock with DNF avg
-Nobody cared about Erik's 7.80 and Bence's 13.78(OH)
-István got his first WR in a non-blind event?
-I can't say he's a lame cause I didn't find the 22 moves solution, but still...
-We went to the swimming pool party
-This year we could use the pool
-But we couldn't slide (well, they told us this after our 5th slide)
-I solved a mini DS cube on the slide and got OLL skip
-We couldn't solve it underwater because we couldn't see the colours
-I almost died on the diving board by slipping, but I survived...
-Kucu (Brúnó) is a pig
-We did teamsolve (one move each person) in the dark in the pool while we were 20 meters far from each other
-I almost threw a girl in the head with the cube
-We went back to the youth hostel in the rain, and made an awesome but(t) super-secret video
-Sunday night we went to hotel austria
-Those guys there (Erik, Nora, Fabian, Frank, Aili, Charlie, Joey, Joel, Sanio, David, Lars sorry if I missed somebody) are f***ing crazy?
-But Kanneti is even more crazy (especially when he's drunk)
-Deeper deeper deeper deeper damn I did get hypnotized (true story:))
-Drinking game with sign is awesome
-Frank, I hope your thigh is now OK:)
-Joel bit Charlie's nipple
-Charlie licked my nipple
-Brúnó has tattooed nipples (not inked, just temporary tattooes)
-Joel is a professor of alcohol quantities
-We went back to the youth hostel, and we stroked a hedgehog
-I said goodbye to Erik three or four times
-Best competition ever:D
 
Did you know that...

- CROCUS!!!

- Charlie and Joel met some nice people in the park?

- Most prostitutes in Pardubice don't speak a lot of English.

- Joel ended up hitch-hiking from Koln to Amsterdam, because he was pissed of by the stupid ticket machines at the train station, and because he thought that if Guillain and Kanneti can do it, then so can I :D.

- I found something!!!

- Joel had to wait very long for 3 rides between Koln, Liege and Maastricht, but the last and longest and most luxurious ride (big Range Rover) was offered when I sat down to eat a sandwich and enjoy the sun.

- Na Okrouhliku!!!

- Kanneti taught me a very cool fingertrick for the A-Perm, which I must have practised a 1000+ times on my way back.

- 30 minutes with a prostitute costs 2000 czk, and is available within walking distance from the venue... But if you are very horny, I suggest taking a cab.

- I fear my reputation is getting worse and worse.

- The Mexican food at the hotel (Austria) was very spicy, and made many people sweat!

- The swimming pool and Charlie's breasts are awesome!

- What do you think about Jezus?
