Originally posted by The Slow PawnI see, agreeing a draw so you go through to round two ayy? Very sneaky! If you did that every round you'd make the final (eventually... ten years later!!)
2 Grand-Master draws in th first round (please ignore the quite obvious mistakes being made for entertainment value in both games :-)
Round two here we come !!!!!!
Merry X-Mas everyone !!!

Well so far there are no more results to report. I am very impressed with Chrismo's performance so far!! I'm actually using my timebank as his position has no obvious weaknesses so far. Definately making a mockery of his 900 rating!!
COME ON CHRISMOOOOOOO (always supporting the underdogs :-)

Originally posted by The Slow PawnSomething tells me Chris's rating is the result of timeouts more than anything. He doesn't appear to have played much at all in the last couple of years, which makes it even worse for me! 😛

So what's with all the bumping? I recon this tournie is going to take about 1.5 years to complete. Put it this way, Matt Hortin is going to be in this thing to the end (unless i happen to pair him in the next round, in which case he'll be making a sharp exit!) and he has only made 11 moves against Freddie since Dec 10th!! At that rate we'll be playing well into 2007. 😛
