??? Korch still has a game remaining in group 4. If he wins it, he's the sole qualifier.

Even if he draws, he still advances.

I am sorry evidently I confused something, but I would have sworn to have seen a green field where there is an orange one now....

There are quite a few 2200+ players through to the final now. I wonder if any more bannings will be done before this round starts?

If you look at the suspicious graphs I would say there is one who is through and one who is nearly through who are likely candidates.

Is that one beginning with a b?

With Blasek banned - it has put Sly Armenian into the final too. He was doing pretty well against the engine himself.

I should be through soon, once my opponent either lifts his vacation flag or follows through with the checkmate.

I made it now, just group 10 to go before the final battle begins...

Salin i Vitalik is through in group 10. Now all that remains to be seen is if kgoodwin can remove bilesleage from the final in group 5 with a win or draw against Pitch, rated 1525.

Well if he just stops moving for a while, pitch has had his vacation flag up for a pretty long time already - he must be close to running out completely now.

I think the final should look something like this:

Korch (2292)
English Tal (2264)
phatboy666 (2257)
fischerov (2246)
Gatecrasher (2244)
Sly Armenian (2218)
kwgoodwin (2177)
joester (2137)
Salin i Vitalik (2136)
Alices Dad (2126)
Tyrannosauruschex (2045)
LekZ (2037)
No1Marauder (2028)

My money is on either phatboy666 or fischerov to be the 2008 Champ.

First time around.

One 1500 who has already flagged is holding up the entire tournament. This is stupid.
