Round 2 just started!
Big groups: 6 groups of 15 and 1 group of 16

Group 1 looks like hard work. Eight players 2000+ (of which three 2200+) compared with four 2000+ in most of the other groups. Pity the poor saps trying to wade through that 😀

Oh wait! I'm in Group 1! 🙁

Gl everyone!

Ah, 28 new games. Marvelous. 😕

Good fortune and fortitude to all those involved.

I am almost the lowest rated in group 1, how lucky am I. I will play the spoiler.

yeah i get to play the spoiler as the lowest rated in group 2

I'm dead. Very dead. Very, very dead.

I'm going to wipe them all off the board

Good luck to everyone, have fun, and enjoy your games, its quite an achievement to make it this far... 🙂

Just delighted for the chance to get revenge on Gatecrasher for introducing me to ABBA's Dancing Queen in this game. Game 2971228

Not sure if it will happen on the chessboard, just need to find a good song... 😉

I group 3 and group 7 are the clash of the machines

I hope I don't count toward that...😕

No, you are ok, in fact your group is nowhere near as bad as group 3.

Latest newsflash: davejacks has withdrawn from group 1, making things somewhat easier for the other top guns trying to qualify for the final.
