Neither Bandi nor Dundee can win their group. So why let us wait?

DundeeHurricane's last login was 1/28/09.  I don't know what he's been doing all these days.

Woohoo! Down to three games. Maybe we should have a pool to see which one lasts the longest.

Why wait until a round is 100% completed before starting the next round?

http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=8846012 - White is obviously going to win... he shouldn't even be in this division.

 

http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=8843314 - Obviously black will win.

 

http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=8843308 - Black should win.

 

http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=8843322 - Black should win this last one.

 

Is there a way you could just adjucate these games? Odds are most of the remaining ones won't even have an effect on the groups overall.

to all those advancing to the next round, it's gonna be a long wait. Personally I think vacation time should be restricted to 2 days or something less. I manage to log on to chess.com wherever I go. Others should do the same, unless of course you're holed up in a nuclear shelter with no internet, or god forbid incarcerated. Either way best to you all in your future touneys.

At this rate, probably about two months.
