Oh no, guy, Andrei biurhgoithiouthoithiu!! There is no reason so that you don't participate to the summer masters! Et puis, I'm not your unique opponent :p There'll be Chen and Jelani (on english text), and Chris and Jeandid (on french text)... So you can't refrain from sending your scores!
In June, I'll be abroad... maybe in England or I don't know (for a training period/an internship). But if I can participate (if I have a computer and Internet at my disposal, whatever the keyboard), I'll do.
Last year, I had missed the July master because I was in holidays with my girlfriend... I'll certainly return again in July.
And in August, I'll be in Armenia, from 11 to 31 (my native country <3).
Anyway... What matter is our competition.
Une fois, tu vas me battre... Une autre fois, c'est moi qui vais te battre. Sur le long terme (dans un cadre général), ça ne représente que de simples détails... Ce qui compte, c'est qu'on trouve satisfaction à concourir entre monstres, et surtout qu'on se satisfasse NOUS-MEMES ! qu'on dépasse, si possible, nos limites et qu'on s'améliore... sur le long terme

Un master ou deux ne changeront rien.
Of course there is a yearly championship... a annual-ranking! And what remains in memory is precisely these rankings... But it should be secondary. There is no more important than our daily competition and our pure-speed-progression
Hey, have you tried Intersteno ten minutes English/Romanian/French?

How? How? :p
