2010 Championship

Group 86 looks nicer.

Grrr...I drew a 2200 in the first round. (Group 1)

group 45 and 39 will be interesting to watch.

slightly feeling sorry for group 92 ...

Tournament 8986

The first games are finished, and no major surprises as yet.

Wow! What a great group. The joys of random pairings. That makes up for any group with an excess of 2000 players, for sure.

the groups which looked to be of most intrrest (I.E. not containing a player massively stronger then the rest who will squash everyone in sight) were 29, 33, 39 and 45

I think it's safe to say who is going to win 33 and I don't exactly see Tigerking not at least making it to the 2nd round after finaling last year.

What about 46. A few upsets already.

Well I'm having a great tournament. Already lost 100 grading points and 8 tourny points(section 40) :-(

group 33 has major potential to provide the first person in round two the leader has only three games left with a record of 13/13 as yet

Group 24 is close as well! 14/14

Group 84 is decided. Congratulations to kes29 for being the first to reach round2!

Thanks. I hope chess gods will be kind to me with the draw again.

Group one is pretty much decided too. Ilmio is guaranteed to get to round two, and I will too, so long as I don't really mess up any of my remaining games.
