Congratulation Quad!!! First new TGM GM player of the year if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully more players will follow soon. And good job cyberguile! @ Rosti LFC: I've got a better game on my TGM ranking, but it's still an S6 and the mastering time isn't that much better. I would post if I had a much better performance. Problem is that I haven't played seriously for a while now. Oh and welcome Lardarse! Last year I said I would try to GM within a year. I only have 3 months left...
Yes congrats Quad! And Ai you can definitely pull it off in the next 3 months. S6 is closer to Gm than you might expect. Don't give up! Even if you miss your target, I'm sure it'll be a close call.
There is no way I would ever give up! I feel S9 isn't that far away anymore and with a little luck even GM could be possible if I keep practicing.
And a gritty cellphone picture for added effect: Long overdue. Thank you TetrisConcept for giving something to do with my absolutely useless and horrible self...thank you.
Congrats! Now beat me in Sudden Ti, I heard you got 490 @ 2:24 or so. Just noticed the time - my my you were cutting it close.
congratz KB, but admit it, it is absolutly abnormal that you can do m8, be so close to the torikan 2:28, and get a so shy GM.. I sugest you to stay a moment on TGM..
Unless he is like me, and has bad habits in stacking flat. I got an M6 in special Ti, and got an S6 in TGM1.
Very nice Kevin Birrell! I always knew you could do it! That was very close indeed, but I'd be even happy with 13:29:99. I practiced a lot in Texmaster and my 20G sector times are around 01:10, but when playing TGM they are around 01:20 which makes a huge difference in the end. I still have faith I will somehow pull it of before May. Amnesia is that you?
Hi yes Ai, sorry it's NoTghost speaking. Everything that has been posted this Week end was Amnesia using my account.
I don't know what happened to me. I suppose a month's break from TGM made me more consistent or something, I had around five games of S4 today and this: which is a pretty good improvement time-wise. I also had another game where I was 200 points away from S5 iat 534 (S4 @ 5:46.78, which is like 45 seconds improvement over my last recorded S4). Perhaps taking a break from TGM was a good thing...
