Untitled Tuesday and Saturday recaps - January

The January recap was written by @dpnorman.

The January 2019 edition of Untitled Tuesday saw as strong a field as the tournament has ever seen, strong enough that players rated over 2000 were already playing each other in the second round, and that the winner of the tournament did not face any players under 2000 blitz after the first game. 

In the early rounds, a few of the higher-rated competitors began to separate themselves from the rest of the field. In particular, Yourinsuil1991, cjxchess17, Everyfishknows, Keitthonsky, and grubyilysy all had at least 2.5/3, joined by two slightly lower-rated (and Canadian) participants MynameisJeff21lol and heavyduty90. But in the next few games the contenders would begin to separate themselves.
