    click "view all pairings" at top right, this will show who's advancing (with yellow shading) but not the matchups. Has to be 100% complete first round.

    Wilford-n,

    Thanks, my man! Both for the help and the good news. Can't believe I won my group, I had the lowest rating!

    Best of luck to you too, in all your games.

    skyfly_nite: The tiebreak score is determined by the sum of your defeated opponents' points, plus half the sum of your drawn opponents' points.

    In your group, your position on top is unassailable. Although Caio will end with a tiebreak score of 27.5 by winning his three remaining games, your victory in both games against him means that your tiebreak score would go up to 33.

    Good luck.

    Guys, I'm currently top of my group with all my games done. I have 7 points. Only one other person can draw top with me at 7 points... So, how does tie-break work?? Mine is 27 (whatever that means), his is 20.5 with 3 games to play... Help!

    Thanks all.

    Yes. Making moves requires time and brain, reading and answering your bs does not. Don't worry, I finished my last round one game in 2011. My group was pretty quick.
