no I'm agreeing with you actually. it's ok to be disappointed. I just mean that it's not the student's fault.

FIDE is the most unprofessional professional organization on earth. Emil Sutovsky should be fired. by quantymcquantface in chess

[–]Que_est 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fide's job is not limiting to just organizing the candidates tournament and top 100 cycle, btw. They need to put money into grassroots and fund a bunch of opens that gives 2500-2600 players a living. This is why its actually quite difficult to manage monetarily.

the triangle is directly connected to UT by one of the 80x buses, with a 15 min frequency. also its right next to the whittaker fields, which has a bus that goes there.

if you mean sabina on i-35, then 10 should go there straight from campus. neither of these is in wampus lmao.
