[ASLML] RB CGIII (was 10 ML Leaders)

[Brian Pickering (ASL)]

Yeah, this sounds about like the CGIII I just conceded to Jeff Barber last month.

Except that I (the German in question) never got any leaders better than a 9-1, while my erstwhile opponent had at least two 9-2s.

I suspect that there is secret code in VASL to assure that the highest-ranking German leader consistently fails MCs and TCs (or, barring that, rolls the Russian sniper... I nicknamed the Russian 1-3 sniper Zaitsev, for obvious reasons....)

Generally, no.  They're *really good* for passing 3 & 4MCs ... but usually
incapable of passing anything lower.  They pin real good, too.

I'll bet the Russian player is having a ball ....
