We now have the case that having resigned both games against bambee, the player in question went on to win both the games against j76.
This means that Bambee will advance if she gets a draw against j76 in either of their games.
j76 must with both the games for all three to advance.
Should all three advance we will have the same situation in the ...[text shortened]... now have the question - should bambee resign her games against j76 to make the round equitable?

Originally posted by gambit05it's still really unfair for j76, before he could've got a win and a draw to win the group if the higher rated player resigned both games now he need 2 wins just to stay in the tourney. a bit of a difference.

Though it is likely that they will beat bambee, this is by no means guaranteed.
