Group 3
Everything has been upside down in this group. madam was the rating favourite, but has been timed out in several games. Early leader chessH has been overtaken by Publius who is currently the second highest rated player in the group has played out all games and cannot be reached, despite losing 5 games and drawing 1!!
Great action in group 3!!
Group 4
crusoe is through giving away only one game. But since then his rating has dropped more than 200 points??
Group 5
Dragofonz and MIODude are tied at 42 points each, but Dragofonz has 2 games in hand and looks to go through alone.
Group 6
davaniel and Luck both progress to the next round with 42 points each
Group 7
Zipdrive Nightmare is through
Group 8
Major upset as joe210 (1486) has won the group, knocking out Wuffell (2006) and 2 other players rated higher than himself.
Very well done, joe210!
