MSO 2024 GP ONLINE

20 March 2024
The now traditional online MSO Grand Prix has come to an end.
This time I took part in very few competitions and with little interest, I don’t know, maybe I don’t like the formula too much, maybe the excessive number of tournaments, maybe other commitments, maybe a bit of all that.
The fact is that almost the entire Italian team, so fierce last year, has been absent this time.

Only one player held up the ex-squadron, the outstanding Marino Carpignano, who by himself earned 12 medals, 5 Gold, 7 Silver and 1 Bronze… while all the others combined, myself included, did not go beyond 4 miserable bronze medals.
Well, we will try to make up for it this summer in the live edition (which comes with problems due to the international situation) or maybe at the next Grand Prix.

In the TAB ‘Italian medals’ all our podiums.
On the official website all the results: https://mindsportsolympiad.com/

Well, that’s it for this year, be happy!

The schedule is certainly a big one!
But I personally will be doing very little with it this time, both because of family commitments and perhaps also because I am less interested in playing online. A few poker tournaments and – perhaps – a couple of backgammon ones.
Then there is this ‘premier’ Grand Prix formula that is not one of my favourites.
In short, the goal is simply to increase the medal table with at least one more prize… I’d hate to leave a gap in the wall!
