Game 1453910
Quirine (or Otto as he prefers to be called 🙄) has beaten nicohuyboom, which makes him clear favourite at the moment. Dave is now out of it, and unless mistsplicer doesn't live up to any of our expectations it looks like it will be between him and Quirine for the win. Maybe someone with a bit more expertise can take a look at the remaining games (all involving mistsplicer) and give a judgement on what looks like happening.

Originally posted by flexmoreIn his black game against me mistsplicer had a very good position. In the long run I wouldn't be able to stop all his pawns. Suddenly he blundered away his queen and resigned in 4 games, Tebb's and mine. He was not to move against Quirine, so not able to resign.
why ?!
is mistsplicer running out of time?
is mistsplicer running away?
or were the games lost?
That was a sad, and not necessary end of the tournament. It was still between mistsplicer and Quirine. I didn't play a role anymore.
Now I regret that I didn't mail mistsplicer to restore the position until just before his mistake. But, on the other hand, it's all in the game.
In a personal message I already said sorry to mistsplicer. This is not a nice way to win a game.

Mistsplicer is resigning his games in this tourney (only 2 games against me left)
If he does the same against me the tournament is ended...
tell us truely ... how was mistsplicer doing .... 2 days for a move, you must have been very concerned !
how will you feel if mistsplicer enters the 2006 championship?

-I knew he was probably gonna resign
-so immediately there was danger for me to not take it serious anymore and to produce a bad move
-I am very busy the last few weeks
And to answer the other question: I have no problem with him entering whatever tourney he likes, that's up to him/her. I would have preferred to play the games in a normal manner but no problem
