Overheard at the Tables

It's an international field downstairs on the tournament floor. French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Dutch and English are just a few of the languages we were able to pick out. Not speaking more than three of those languages makes it difficult to eavesdrop on many of the conversations but this is what we've overheard so far:

"You haven't added me on Facebook, have you?" Jesper Hougaard asked a dealer. "'No, that guy's too ugly. I can't add him.' To be fair, I've got long purple hair and am wearing glasses that say '2009'."

"We're playing straight through today. It's good, you know? I was here two years ago and we played until 2am..."

"You must be a 'City' watcher."
"It help me. It does. It helps me connect the dots a lot of the time."
