How long did that take ???

In group 41 I am guaranteed to make the next round. I expect that no1marauder will win the rest of his games to tie me for the group win.

I hope so; you gave me a pretty good thrashing in the game where you had White and were in good shape in the other game (though the position was complex as Najdorf Poisoned Pawns usually are), but got a little greedy grabbing the e-pawn.

Best of luck in the next round.

I would like to offer congratulations to phatboy666 who thrashed me twice on his way to winning group 20 (assuming User 4 Chris doesn't show a huge improvement in form).

First year I'm competing, and I made it to the 2nd round (Group 23). I hope I get lucky again, and get in a easy group.

Barring a minor miracle, I'll be bounced out for the 3rd straight year.
