Stone soup

When I was a kid, I remember listening to a wonderful record of stories read by Danny Kaye, the great actor and comedian. One of the stories was "Stone Soup". The protagonist of the story, a poor itinerant beggar, convinces the townspeople of one of the towns he's passing through to feed him a meal for free, though they don't realize that this is what they're doing. The townspeople supply all the ingredients for the meal - but one. That one is the stone which will magically make the soup :-)

Playing an MTT is a lot like trying to make stone soup; you need a lot of imagination, a lot of belief, a lot of pluck, and not a small amount of luck. Last night, I made stone soup for the second tournament in row. It felt like a magic trick :-)
