Khalil Mahmoud al-Matruh's page

I played at one of James' tables and I thought the way he did it, given the limited time, was pretty much optimal. We still ran short on time, but that wasn't his fault.

I had a great time!

Khalil - friend

Mahmoud - praiseworthy
Matruh - town in Northwest Egypt, using Al- could mean you're from a town called Matruh

Hehe thanks! I did actually know the al- part, so I should clarify that part wasn't 100% made up. I am a WW2 nut, and Matruh was where Rommel won one of his more audacious battles against the British 8th Army.

The Khalil Mahmoud though, those were just picked because they sounded Arabic...turns out those were outstanding choices, as he is a cleric of their beloved All...er I mean Sarenrae. :)
