I think I've read Giri is afraid of losing, so he doesn't take risks to win, therefore rarely wins or loses. But yeah, if Jobava was deemed to score, why not a draw against Giri? Tongue Out

You can see the current points (after rapid) in the Leuven tab. I'll make the overall standings chart probably next weekend, after all the frekin' exams. Smile

Thomas, thank you so much for this! Appreciate it! :)

Eseles

Wasn't there also included an event between Norway and Paris? But I hadn't participated in it, so i have no problem if it doesn't count

@MSC157, thanks! If you give me permissions to edit the Google doc then I should be able to add that page into it without too much trouble, then you only need to post the link to the doc which will have the live standings in them.

 

@Eseles; not that I am aware of (don't think there was time for any additional events between them).

 

Also, anyone from the top 6 has a chance of topping the leaderboard after Geneva; it looks like it's gonna be a close fight all year!

MSC157

@Thomas, I think I gave you access to the "standings" edits now (you meant this one, right?) :)

@MSC157: Thanks, it's all sorted now! The list of participants will need to be updated every time there are new entrants that haven't played before, and new columns added in for each tournament, but it should be reasonably self explanatory. I've also added a filter that allows for the standings to be easily sorted (the positions automatically update to show tied positions). I think that's basically all that needs doing; I don't want to over-complicate it too much.

Holy shit guys, Kasparov is apparently set to play in St. Louis rapid and blitz event! 

NewArdweaden

Bloody hell :O

Eseles

wooooot! that's really a WILD-card happy.png

ThomasJEvans

Now wasn't Kasparov banned by the FIDE ethics committee for alleged corruption during the 2014 FIDE elections? I think it was a 2 year ban, so it should have expired by now.
