Oh, that is ok then, at least I am not missing something obvious.

It is a good sign for me if he is resigning those sort of positions - I should have two wins coming my way fairly shortly if he is in that sort of mood.

I made a post on the preceding page that gave some of the reasons. In addition, I have a big OTB tourney in 2 weeks (the National Chess Congress in Philly) and I decided my limited internet chess time would be better served playing timed games on ICC. I'm in the STC Gauntlet tourney and will be trying to drum up a few games a day though getting anything over 20 minutes is kind of difficult and I don't find blitz games useful as prep for classical time control OTB tournaments.

I've been asking myself exactly that. Not well thought out on my part.

Another finalist is banned. This time it`s English Tal. Another my draw (i.e. lost 2 points) against banned player 🙁

naturally ... it is a group size 9 tournament ... now there are 9 players left for the final round ... as it should be.

So who wins the 2007 championship now? Is it too late for me to enter?

It would appear some lessons have been learned from last year at least. One suspects the finalists of the site championship get a serious preference when choosing who to analyse!

Now it looks like a race between you and Gatecrasher, with kgoodwin having an outside shot.
