    ive got 8 outta nine games for my group & i hope to at least get a 1/2 a point in the last game ...so i would be 8.5 for the first round ...but another round against a harder group of ten seems very daunting ....

    @chessboy1998 congrats! You're gonna advance.

    Oddly, I was checking your pairing then I clicked on your remaining games, turns out that I had to refresh the page to see you at 6.5!

    Group number 122 is quite the crazy group, I am quite lucky if I get to go on with 7.5 points!

    Those tournament are indeed very difficult. I myself never went to second round, despite many many participation...

    I almost wanted to skip this one, but I am doing suprisingly good. Finger crossed :)

    I use the Game Explorer to get the hang of this opening, not many others use it.
