2nd NSF Live Tournament week 3

Three weeks passed since we started the tournament, and they abounded with a lot of events.

For starters, two of our contestants abandoned the tournament, pity, but life goes on and the tournament must continue.

In group 1 which seems to be pretty even matched, musiclife took the lead with 3 wins in 3 games. Zyga65 is right behind him with 2 point in 4 matches. Biggest surprise so far in this group was game TonyMooney (1346) vs. zyga65 (1662) won by Tony and for this game he is the main candidate for the Biggest surprise in the tournament trophy. In group 2 Naughtybishop (3 wins in 3 games) is on the lead with Kotomitsuki right behind (2 wins in 2 games, Kotomistuski actualy played 3 games but his opponent CabassoG quit the tournament thus the game was declared void). Those two seem to dominate this group, can anyone threaten their march for victory? In this early stage of the tournament nothing is yet decided and anything can happen, but situation clarifies itself more and more each passing week.

Tournament trophies were also decided and approved by chess.com earlier this week, see previous news posts for details.

Stay tuned for more news coming next week.
