Oh boy... Hou Yifan just might win Biel!

Edit: Oh... I just found out Bacrot has 4/5.

And one of the IMs has 3/5... lol!

Biel is getting very interesting. 4 leaders with 2 rounds to go. Expected Harikrishna & Bacrot and Hou & Georgiadis doing extremely well!

Bold predictions. Has Kramnik won a tournament since the 2013 World Cup? He seems to have an even or +1 score in every tournament he plays, which is enough to maintain a 2800 rating, but not enough to win any trophies.

33 hours left. I really hope Doggers or Klein post that damn official thread about SinqCup ASAP, so I can spam the forum link there 😜

Biel Grandmaster (@macer75 & @MSC157) 

Hou Yifan and Pentala Harikrishna are leading before the last round of Biel tournament and it's not known who is gonna win yet. However, it's all clear in out TPG or PPP battle, whatever you prefer. Me and macer75 are going to win it in front of @ThomasJEvans and potentially @Eseles, in case Hou manages to win. Well played! :)

NewArdweaden

Damn, you are closing the gap quite quickly. 

Eseles

I have a good chance of winning if everyone else stops making predictions

Indeed. And now also with Biel report before the last round. Oh, by the way, Daniel King (or maybe the other commentator) said that they saw Hou Yifan having breakfast at 8 am already, being one of the early ones there. So she may not be having problems playing the last round at 11 am already, which is for many players a very early hour.

And tactic from Hou Yifan from yesterday:
