Thanks again for including Lynx, Graham.

I'm personally happy with the final result achieved, considering I was expecting my boy to finish at the very bottom of the division in his debut (especially taking into account that it went directly to Division 9). It also managed to get points against all opponents, which feels great

At the same time, I've been humbled by watching him losing a few completely drawn endgames for trying to hard.
Although I gotta say that it went both ways and in a few other games that attitude paid off.

Looking forward to future editions!
