Ok everyone. I'm feeling very under the weather with the flu and even though I said to a few of my friends and myself that I wasn't going to continue covering the SPICE Cup, I know I'm going to be up all night, so I might as well do something with it, so, I'm doing this.

   Now, Round 6 of the B group was the other day, but not Round 6 A, that was today, along with Round 7 of the B group. Confused yet? I was. But I'm sick, so I'm very foggy. So, I'm going to do this nice and slow ok?  OK.

   Round 6 Group A Results:

     First off, Meier(W) vs. Robson(B). (I'm getting these games from both MonRoi and Fritz 12/playchess.com. MonRoi says this game is over, playchess.com still has it going LOL):

                                                     ----------

   Next up is Onischuk(W) vs. So(B):

                                                     ----------

Finally, finishing up Round 6, Group A is Perelshteyn(W) vs. AlmasiB):

   Overall standings for both groups will be in the 2nd post.

   Now, Round 7 Group B results are here:

Let's get the shortest game done first, as this game only went 9 moves. It is Bykhovsky(W) vs. Finegold(B):

                                                     ----------

    Next is Antal(W) vs. Krush(B):

   Next up everyone, is Yang(W) vs. Smith(B):

   Now as you probably can tell, is "Pappa Bear" Danny Rensch(W)(he really needs to give himself a new nickname LOL) vs. Kuljasevic(B):

                                                     ----------
