I guess your next move won't be unanimous.
2.52 on my 30k. It didn't feel great, but ok.

Certainly we investigated other moves, but, the Team unanimously voted:
26...d5
To me, 2.52 for a 30k run at age 52 is very good. I'm in my 60s, but, even in my early 50s, I'm not sure I could have even walked 30k.

It's greening faster then usual here in the north of Sweden. I have to do the lawn, about two weeks earlier then normal. Something is going on with the climate.

Well, Tony, Rc3 was a good move!
27...d4
Do the lawn? Here in southern Arizona, USA, we do not see very many lawns.

Hi Tony,
I think that after the game, it would be interesting to discuss what you think of some of the lines resulting from 27.exd5. I mention it now to prompt a signal that this may be a particularly interesting position to discuss.

I will take a leave 29/5-7/6. To run in Stockholm, and visit my sister in Arboga, one of the oldest cities in Sweden.

It seem to get hot again in Stockholm. The last two years it have been 27° C. I dislike that very much. I had 3.58 last year, one of my worst ever.

I see a 3:56:08 for you from Stockholm today, improving from last year. Congratulations!

Thank you, but it's a poor time. But it was 24 C, and I just can't take the heat. Now I'm looking forward to Arctic Circle Marathon in four weeks. It's just one hour drive from Luleå, so it feels like home.

Yes, I have trouble with those temperatures, too, so I definitely understand. My racing times get considerably worse as the temperature gets warmer from about 10 C. Arctic Circle Marathon should be good for you.

Why didn't you suggest a conditional? There is no other move playable.
