FINALLY ... The Wait is OVER !!!

Tears were shed yesterday at Queenstown CC when under-fired Ben Karpov finally achieved his first silverware in 17 months !
This achievement has lighten Ben's burden, when interviewed by the BBC, Ben was overcame by emotion. He said between tears, " for the past 10 months or so I have tons of people coming up to me, asking me when would I receive my next silverware, or would I even... , some even said I do not deserve my ZM title and complained that I was under-achieving ". Ben Karpov later then added, " the pressure was really intense, it was the longest silverware-drought I ever gone through in my career, I am just glad now that is over ". He signed off with a polite bow.
Talking about silverware-drought, it was indeed the longest in Ben Karpov's career. He had came back from not 1, not 2 and not even 3 but 5 tournaments empty-handed. Namely the 2007 National School Team, 2008 National School Individual, 2008 POLITE, 2008 SP Open and 2008 National Rapid Championship. Never before this has happened ... but Ben is right, it's finally over, he had finally received his first silverware yesterday, the first one since March 10 2007 ! (National School Individual 07, where he came in 19 out of 270 !)
There would be celebration till dawn ! Lets all look forward to Ben Karpov's next silverware !
Until then ... this is Freddy Marshall ... Catch you guys soon ! Good Bye .
