With the way I've been playing lately I've blown my shot. However I wouldn't count LekZ or SlyArmenian out of it.

I dont usually get forum banned, or warned. I think there is a fine line between making dubious accusations and pointing out more obvious examples.

Also, I have never named somebody in the public forums who has not gone on to be banned.

This is an awesome power. I hope you have used it responsibly.

Is this because I didn't join your club, or because of your bad database in our current game in play?

Careful Tchex. Please don't name or hint around about cheating in public forums. Send a fair play ticket if you have not already.

Most games getting down to the wire in terms of time. I think Korch has by far the best chances even after his draw with Tchex.

I dont think Korch has much of a chance now, he needs to pull off two wins against gatecrasher, and that is the only way he can do it. He only has the two games left, since the rest of his games are against engine users... it looks like gatecrasher will most likely win the 2008 championship!

This game really hurt Korch's chances of winning
Game 5436005

Yeah, that queen manouvre is quite subtle and deadly with the threat of mate via Qxh6 and also Nxd6, leading to a winning endgame.

This game will also have a bearing on the final score: Game 5435980
If gatecrasher were to lose both games to Korch and lose or draw this one then he could be caught.

Correct, if Gatecrasher does not draw or win against against Korch, and does draw again kgoodwin, the they would end up tied for first place...
Very interesting!
