And another group, with one clear favorite .... not I of course πŸ˜‰

caissad4 1776
Obiah 1252
Celsius1 1397
Nook7 1532
qqoulam 1423
bazik 1475
crosljam 1443
geordieboy 1190
Genet 1458
thecastler 1450
mrbobs 1455
NicolaiS 1325

Although I did shook up Caissad4 in the Leagues by getting one draw out of two matches, its clear that she/he is the clear favorite in this group. The fight for position 2 will be very interesting with no less then 9 players between 1300 and 1500+ .... THIS GROUP ROCKS!!! To bad a second place wont get you anywhere πŸ™

....
Anyways, it's TRACKHEAD, I would bet on him, ...
have a look at ironman's results against meman: 3 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses.
then have a look at trackhead's: 0 wins, 4 draws, 2 timeout losses.

if you are still fool enough to trust your hunch then i will take your money:

here is my bet:
if TRACKHEAD21 wins the tournament i will pay your subsciption to RHP for one year.
if Ironman31 wins then you pay my subscription to RHP for one year.
if neither TRACKHEAD21 nor Ironman31 wins the tournament outright then the bet is null and void.

accept the bet in 24 hours, by posting that you do in this thread, or it is off.

But I do agree we've had some very interesting games...
lol, I've only won 5 of our 6 games, plus you have gotten better since the first 4, which is why there was a draw in one of the last two.

You can't judge players based on their record against the same person. 2 of those draws were meman basically giving up in siege games since I was white and attacking a draw was a win for white and with our ratings so close no points won or lost. The other two were in a tournament I won by beating cludi. There were 3 of us in the final and they beat each other once and lost to each other once. with a win and a draw against cludi all I needed to do was draw my 2 games with meman, so I simply offered a draw for both games one which was winable, I simply wanted the tournament win though and my rating was still low at the time got around 9 points for drawing. As for me against Ironman he is currently beating me in one game and the other is still about even. Unless I play my absolute best he can beat me. Did think I could beat him but now thinking more along the lines of being even. I can either lose or draw against him

"Only" 5 of 6 and a draw in the last would be good enough for me against any 1900+ playerπŸ™‚
Btw, should we follow Flexmore's logic, I think I would end up better than you in the championship - I've beaten meman once πŸ˜‰ Ok, I've drawn a few and lost even more, but still...

My group is:

mickeyt - 1194
Tornado100 - 1205
dfm65 - 1262
rhb - 1331
Lord Byron - 1421
meule - 1430
Babaskar - 1440
darvlay - 1453
Maroczy - 1603
Starkey - 1605
Zumdahl - 1789
Gatecrasher - 1888

Reasonably plesed with the draw. But Zumdahl has had ratings in the high-1900's. Will still be tough.

My prediction for the championship is Northern Lad, only because it would be too boring to go for the obvious ones... and he's unbeaten, and he's in my clan league team.

Come on, this is friendly predictions! I can't bet any money because I have no money to bet on, I'm poor!
