2010 Championship

And perhaps the first bit of contraversy. You have to wonder why black resigned in this game (maybe I'm missing something?)

Game 7695469

I find this kind of unclear too... there is of course a double attack, on two pawns, but even then, I wouldn't say it justifies a resignation: black's king is quite vulnerable, but that's all! . but we are probably missing something here!

You are indeed. But you'll not find it by studying the final position 🙁

And I'm implying nothing - nothing, do you hear me!

Game 7695469

Zawinul former leader in the finals has resigned all games and is out. SeniorPatzer is now the leading player.

Tournament 8986

Hawkeye User 398703 has also resigned all games...

A little weak to sign up for the tournament and then resign all your games (and still play a bunch of other games). At least Zawinul appears to have left the site.

Zawinul has significant difficult issues in his life that require immediate full-time attention. These things happen. That's why he's had to step out suddenly.

No longer...

former site champion Quirine is the first to drop out in a regular way...

He was my favorite human, with SeinfeldFan, to win the championship. Unfortunately both won't make it. Oh, by the way, I've been eliminated by SeniorPatzer.

..and Kayhayen is out, the filed is thinning
