kedduff... at the tournament home page.... click on pairings and it will show you the groups and you'd look for your group # and if you go to the next round you will be highlighted in yellow with a green arrow

how do i tell if im still in this tournament

i forgot all about this 1

does it take 6 month for 1 round to be finished?

even if pierrenouvel resigns his game that he's wining. He still moves on to the next round. no 1's close to him on points. lol i would have quit so i can just get myself to the next round.

colinquinsey....

5(1)->2+

5 means the group size is 5 players

(1) means you play all 5 players one game at a time

->2+ means the top 2 players advance to the next round

 

njkman

the tournament is thematic it means basically that there are certain openings being used. so instead of having you make the moves manually, they play out the openings on both sides and you simply play the game from there. In this case I named the tournament the same name as the openings.

Whites opening is Kings Pawn

Blacks opening is Kings Head

 

hope that helps you both

Colinguinsey

 5(1)->2+ means: only the first and second in your group go ahead.
