I'm from Saaremaa and I don't complain when it turns out that the results were obtained with a hack. Unfortunately, I didn't understand half of your text (you probably used artificial intelligence to help you write the text?). I will contact the school management and the mind games instructor about this topic (by the way, I applied for this position at the same school, but the director "forgot" to contact me twice and I gave up) as soon as I get back to Saaremaa.

I wrote my original text in the lingua franca ; this is an automatic translation.

What nationality are you?? I've never heard such a language before.

A humorous answer :)! Google can tell you that nowadays it is known that this is English. I noticed when I watched my speech in English that I made some verbal mistakes, and in some places I used the negative incorrectly. Nevertheless, the idea of the speech remains clearly understandable: it is not a fair sport if I and my opponent do not have equal conditions (except for personal preparation = training; physical equipment and, I don't know, weather, whatever else you want to add to this list).

But why did you write the original text in a lingua franca, if your native language is (I guess?) Estonian? Did you want foreigners to know how things work in Estonian mental sports?

Yes, I wanted to practice a little English and didn't think about the fact that in forums in different languages, the text will at least be in English if not in the respective native languages. My mistake.

I did what I promised. Out of the 5 participants expected for the meeting, 2 came and they should be fully recognized - during the constructive discussion, a lot of clarity was gained in the case. Now all that remains is to wait for their feedback in the fints and hopefully we can continue with the Olympiad in a much more sporting manner next year.
