actually i laughed so hard at this post. i actually dressed with a nice suit jacket once for a tournament, and I won the tournament, I might have drawn with a GM at the tournament cant remember if thats precisely what happened because I played more than one important tournament at that venue which use to be the office of "Excalibur Electronics" and the chess hall of fame in Homestead Florida (South of Miami, going towards the Florida Keys)
