"How To Get Good At This Game"
Hey.
There used to be a guide at Wash U's team site by Roger Bhan called "How To Get Good At This Game" or something along those lines. Does that still exist somewhere or does someone still have a copy of it squirreled away, perhaps?
Thanks,
MaS
Edit: Fixed missing letter.

You might want to try e-mailing them (washuqb -at- gmail -dot- com) to see if they still have it.ImmaculateDeception wrote:Hey.

What's e-mail?
Seriously, though, that would be an interesting guide to see, indeed. Anyone from Wash U care to comment?

I observed Raj's attendance at more than one UTC tournament when he played for the turn-of-the-millenium powerhouse Broward CC teams coached by Raj Dhuwalia, and I recall him enjoying himself and the competition. Any war of ideas between him and Charlie is inference, not authorial intention, presumably.
Even if one disagrees with the "performance" of Charlie's tournament mantra, it does not state that losing is fun, only that it is better than losing very badly and certainly better than not playing at all. The latter is self-evident; every hard-core player has his tale of being beaten badly by great players early in his career, and none of them suggest that quitting the game is better than taking one's lumps and improving.
PS (in a feeble attempt to get this back on thread): we gratefully hand out Raj's "rules" at the beginning of every season to new players. It's good to let them know how much commitment is needed to improve.
