Round Robin tournament N. 1
The results for the First Round Robin tournament are finally in!
Congratulations to @Karpov1A and @opto007, who tied for first place with 5 points in the Upper Section. Congratulations also to @kesarkarsalya for his first place in the Lower Section with 6.5 points, and to the runner-up @DosDebug.
Hopefully everybody had a good time playing longer time control games!
Enjoy the summer!

====== OLD STUFF BELOW =======
The tournament is has officially ended but, since there are several games that have not been played (or reported in the comments section), I thought we can use this week to make up for unplayed games. If you have played less than 7 games -- see below, in the last column -- it means you have outstanding games: try to contact your opponent(s) and play your game by June 26, reporting the result in the comments section.
I will report the final results and standings next week.
Enjoy your games and have fun!
================ Original Announcement ======================
For those of you who have registered for the 1st Round Robin Tournament, below are the pairings. You will need to contact your opponent each week to schedule your game, which should be a 45+30 rated game, with colors specified in the pairing list below. You have one week to play each round, on average. Please note that the dates for each round are indicative: you can delay a game, if you find it hard to find a time to play with your opponent on the scheduled week, or you can play a round earlier, if your opponent agrees to this. However, all games must be completed by June 18.
Please, report the result of your game, if possible with a link to the game, as a comment to the present announcement.

There is some flexibility in these dates, since for a round robin tournament the results of a round do not affect the pairings in the following rounds. However, I need all results to be in by June 19. Please post the results in the comment section, as soon as possible after playing, with a link to the game, if possible.
Have fun!
Giovanni
