What's there to differ about? I'm all but certain that Ironman31 will go through. I'm not commenting on individual games, so until the points are on the board, other outcomes are possible, however improbable they may seem.

On a different topic, Freddie, can you please change your avatar? It is very disturbing. In fact, for many people, strobic effects like that can cause nausea and siezures.

The dancer was much better.

Group 1 : Ironman31 is through.
Group 3 : mistsplicer is through.

Group 2 is still on a knife's edge. ThePO and Northern Lad can still catch David Tebb. But Dave's chances of making the final are looking better by the day.

The Lad and PO both have 4 games in progress.

ThePO needs two wins and two draws to equal tebb.

TheLad need two wins and two draws to knock tebb out.

Given that The PO and The Lad are playing against each other in two games ... and TheLad plays a player 60 points lower in two games - and The PO plays a player 200 points lower in two games ... this is likely one way or the other.

i would give tebb less than a 1 in 3 chance of making it.

... i like to tell you this : i told you so 😏
maybe i am not as stupid as my rating suggests!

If they each have 1 chance in three, its a cliffhanger, isn't it?!?

Looking at the state of the individual games, I have to agree with you, ThePO must be the strong favourite to progress.

I don't think Russ can though... don't tournaments run on an automatic system?

In group 2 there are 3 games left that should all be resigned so the final round can start.

Right, well in the meantime, it looks like ThePO will be making the finals...

NO!

if they resign now then ironman will be in the final ...
Ironman31
ThePO
mistsplicer

if they delay a little then russ can organise it so that nicohuyboom and Quirine take his place ...
nicohuyboom
Quirine
ThePO
mistsplicer.

then it will be a much more interesting third round!

russ has removed ironman ...

assuming ThePO does not get timed out in the game with cbd Game 1185218, the players will be:

nicohuyboom
Quirine
ThePO
mistsplicer


as a sneak preview of how things might go ... keep an eye on:Tournament 501
