Everyone likes a gracious winner

There were four players ready to play a round robin tonight, two quick rated experts, High Plains Vest & Damir Studen, and two "B" players, Spencer Bledsoe, and Samuel Zimmerman, when in walked Robert Steen, barely a "D" player. It became a 5 round event, with Mr Steen very much overmatched. Damir beat Spencer and Vest beat Zimmy in the first round. Damir beat Steen and Zimmy took out Spencer in the second round. Round 3 saw Spencer make up for his loss by drawing with the wiley 'ol wolf, High Plains Vest, while Zimmy won his second game in as many rounds by beating Steen. In the penultimate round, Studen stopped Zimmy's charge, and Vest beat Steen. That set up the final round encounter for the money, between the High Plains Drifter and the young Stud, with David having to win to win. Unfortunately, the young Stud managed to draw the game, thereby winning the tournament, and we had to put up with the usual histrionics, fist pumping, chest slappin', shadow boxing, and sounds not heard since the heyday of the Nature Boy, from the ever gracious winner. It's enough to make you wanna puke! I'm willing to wager he was not doing any of that after losing back to back games at the World Open!
Spencer beat Mr Steen in the last round, but you would've never known it from his demeanor...
