it's crazy, the material advantage is of the charts in both games.there should be a way to bypass games like this and get the games in the next round rolling. there was only about 50 minutes last time i checked and poof he made a move. i think they know they are holding us up!

i'm sure some people have good reasons for using vacation time, but i've been waiting since mid-July for the next round to start - ridiculous.

wouldn't it make sense to only alot a percentage of vacation time per round. I'm sure there are exceptions... but seems a little silly to have over a month to make a move

Ugg, what's taking it forever I want to see who I'm matched up with!!

77 games left out of the original 2324 in the first roud. Almost there...

Of course, seeing that we have at least one person rated over 2000 still playing, doesn't make me think I've got much of a chance at glory in this one. :)
