How will this effect the tournament?
Will someone else go through, or does he still go through but forfeit every game?

He will be able to play all games coming from tournaments. He is not the first to whom this happens.

He cans till win the tourney, he just can't enter new ones.

Edit: Since this is the first post on the page: Tournament 19582

group 4 decided: Thunderrook and AliceWD both make the finals. So just two deciding games left:
Game 10790576
Game 10790547

Ulf t should win by time. So there will be 10 players in the final round.

Round 3 has started today at 11:20 am Pacific. Good luck to the top 10 in the finals. Should go no latter then March 6th of next year.

Almost 1 week in and no victories or draws. The farthest moved is 20 moves in.

6 draws have no been registered.

Now at 8 draws David Tebb is leading the pack with five of those...

And we have the first victory in the finals:

Game 10918257

Game 10918316

Another result

4 days, 18 hours, and about 32 minutes from now until 50 days for combined time banks left.

2 players are out and david Tebb has only two games to finish, but his chances to win are rather remote.

That game was absurd. Somebody here should run an analysis of Thunderrook's play.

Kind of hard to compete with the level of engine use/talent. I didn't even come close to winning a game. Doubt I even held an advantage.

It looks like it will be a duel between ulf t and Thunderrook. Philidor is leading but hardly likely to keep the crown.

Three still in, with ontheclock having finished all games and just hanging on to the lead.
