Online Chess Tournament (3 round, pairings)
Dear Chess Friends!
These are pairings for the 3rd round of our tournament! Those who didn't play in the 2nd round got "losses". Sorry about that, but I believe 1 week is enough to schedule and play 1 game.
I also excluded 2 players who missed the games. If for some reason, you want to continue the tournament and get back to parings - let me know. My e-mail is tricksofchess@gmail.com
We also had 2 sensations in the 2nd round. My student Elliot Tadic outplayed our tournament favorite Vadym Stoilov! Congratulations to Elliot and good luck to Vadym for his future games!
The second match I can hardly call a sensation, but I expected an opposite result - Nic Carter won against Michael Sherman! I was expecting Michael to be a dark horse of this tournament. But I still believe Michael can take any of the first 3 places.
