Why sadly, this way the tournament ends faster. 

sadly yes..

# Advance: 1

Is there only one person from each group who advances in this tournament?

If there is no timeout in my group, I will join the next round, too

Into the next round :)

That's a draw for sure, and nicely done since white clearly has the advantage.

There's is nothing wrong in playing a three fold repetition. If one wants to draw. His position is bad conpared to you, and he got the chance to draw, so he is playing for a draw. If he breaks the repetition, mostly he would lose unless you blunder, so he is playing it safe. 

he's allowed to play on eternal chess. he probably can't win so he'll get the draw this way.

 and I'm now certain of going through to the next round :D 

I KNEW THIS WAY . BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS KIND OF PLAY AND PLAYER? I ASKED HIM BEFORE THAT IF HE THINK HE IS PLAYING CHESS?

MR BALACHANDAR : HELLO. MY GROUP NO IS #237. ONE OF PLAYERS IS DOING ONE MOVE FROM MOVE 42  . IN THIS CONDITION WHAT IS YOUR DESIDE?

i could have easily moved up if 2 advances!

People have lives outside this site. 

Wow, congrats to all 5 of you! 

5-way tie, amazing!

Wow, a 5 way tie, that I have never seen, but it's pretty cool.  Congrats to you all!

Guys, if you really wanna see something weird look at group #263. Out of the six players we are five that ended up with the same score and tiebreak. But rules are rules and we are five going through to round 2.
