In group 1, we have our highest rated play, @Moosburgefischer. I have no doubt he will get far. we also have some yet to be unrated players. this group has a clear winner, but who knows who will get second place? This might be an interesting group, with two 500's

In group 2, we have @PabloNajdorf at 1696, pulling 400 rating points ahead of the next best player, @HabibullohDJ. We have another clear winner, but the fight for second place will be an uphill struggle between @HabilbullohDJ, @Rangah1, and possibly even @Sammy7000 and @Bigbomber13. This could get fierce. lets move on

Here in group 3, we have a very similar layout as the others. one clear winner, and a tough battle for 2nd place. 

My, we have another one of the same layout. although @Goldiman might stand a chance to beat @Damjan1989 with enough luck. 

This is group 5, nothing different from the group before

Group 6 looking the same as group 5 and group 4

group 7

In group 8, the layout is still very much the same, but now the top player is <1500. this might get interesting fast.

Group 9, where yours truly is placed. 

group 10

and here at group 11, the competition gets fierce. a 1300, 1200, 1100, and a 1000 all competing to move on. this might get intense. I'll come back to check on this group later.

group 12 is the same as before

group 13

in group 14, we have a similar layout, but my sources tell me that someone here is not who they seem. we'll see if anyone easily beats jonathan.

heres group 15. the first one with only 6 players.  nothing too special other than that

and last but not least, group 16. the competition for the top two spots will be fierce, as both are 1200 (although I'm personally rooting for @SamuelSac2022 because hes 1600 in rapid)

There will be regular updates on this tournament, make sure to check back!
