the top 3 from each group go on.  That will make a total of 30 players for round two, and I assume it will be 3 groups of 10, but otherwise the same as before, then only 9 will make it to round 3.

It's a good thing we have a theme tournament. I have never had the cause to study this opening in details and having lost a couple of games I think I have learnt and despite the fact that I hate losing, I have accepted these particular loses as a learning process and it has been very interesting know why I am losing.
