Originally posted by no1marauderIndeed quite late another posting. The game I linked was of course not the final game as such, but the final decisive game...there are still games on, which of course have no influence on the result.
Sweet! Maybe Ponderable can give us the final count on the number who qualified for Round 2.
I'm itching to go!
We have 90 groups with a single winner and 14 groups with two joint winners bringing the garnd total to 118 players in the second round. (1 group with 10 and 12 with 9 as most people pürobably have seen already 🙂 )
Good games to everybody!
There is always the question about hard and weak groups. I made a list comparing four criteria: highest rated player, number of 2000+-players, medium player and weakest player. Sincew e can't display tables well (or I didn't find the way) a few results:
sorted by strongest player: 13:2342; 7:2324; 6:2321...least 8: 2052; 2: 1988; 12: 1980
number of 2000+: 3 and 10: 5, 1 and 7: 4...2 and 8: 1;12: 0
strength of medium player: 3: 2038, 10: 2006, 1: 1964 ... 8:1777; 5: 1751; 2:1698
strength of weakest player: 6: 1810; 1: 1783; 10: 1656 ... 7: 1391; 3: 1390; 2: 1366
So group 2 seems to be a very weak one (in the wekest counting all criteria) and 10 is the killer group (in the top three in three of four criteria) groups 4,9 and 11 show not once either in the strongest or weakest criteria.
