"Status Round Complete
Round 1 "

yet also:

"1677 2007 Championship 1 590 In progress "

i guess the remaining games do not affect the winners.

Group 60, through a fairly bizarre set of circumstances, isn't complete yet.

And branco still has a couple of days up his sleeve... or I could stuff up.

Looks like groups 36 and 60 are the only ones left undecided.

My opponent is now preventing me from claiming a timeout by being on vacation. While still moving, of course.

I've been moving as soon as I get my turn for the last 2 weeks of my timebank. good thing I've had insomnia and slept only 3-4 hours a night. the games have been won for ages, but I'm still in danger to lose on time 1-2 queens up against his lone king. 1 day left for both of us.

it feels like I was blitzing 5 0 and losing on time. for a month. this is not what correspondence chess should be like.


I really, really, REALLY hate this hard 60 day limit. and probably won't play one next year.

Just completed group 60. Opponent ultimately resigned both games, and I think I owe him an apology for any suggestion that his vacation behaviour wasn't genuine.

The remaining game I claimed the timeout, on the grounds that my opponent has barely been sighted for a couple of months and will make the next round anyway.

Group 36 is also complete, so does that mean we're done with round 1? Then roll on round 2, where I can get squashed like a bug!

There are a few additional strong players this year (franz007at, Korch, DawgHaus, etc.) who will make it more interesting. Probably too early for odds...

Group 3 looks brutal. I think whoever survives that group has a decent shot at winning the tournament.

Group 4 is not easy too.

True. There are quite a few other strong players in the other groups, but 3 and 4 seem to be the toughest to get through. Hopefully there'll be some fireworks and not to many draws. 🙂
