Online Chess Tournament (8 round, pairings)

Dear Chess Friends!
These are pairings for the 8th round of our tournament! I excluded a few more players who told me that they couldn't play this week. For round #8 as usual we have only 1 week. The game should be played until 24th of November (this Sunday).

Cheating detected! I excluded Mehmet Ozan Ural because of cheating. According to my anti-cheating detecting algorithm Mehmet used engine help at least in rounds 5, 6 & 7. He made moves so fast when the position required a lot of calculations. Computer analysis of his games detected almost no mistakes. Many of his moves were the same as what Stockfish suggests for the first line.

Sorry about this episode. Everyone who played against Mehmet Ozan Ural was granted with 1 extra point.

The Tournament Table after 7 rounds:

We have only one leader - Kristina! Dadal is now on the 2nd place. And the 3rd place is divided by 3 players: Vadym, Elliot & Scott. However, 2 rounds left and everything can change.

If for some reason, you were excluded, but still want to continue the tournament and get back to parings - let me know. My e-mail is tricksofchess@gmail.com
