1. The Swiss part.
Sadly, our new participant, @klingerboo, got kicked out of the tournament cause he was offline at the start of it( Please come again next week!
The first round was frustrating for @BoraBoy, who lost to @me_pennyboy in a wild battle! @champion-19 blundered EVERYTHING he could in their game with @rogerbr13!
(second game: analyzed by @rogerbr13)
@BoraBoy had something to do and quit the tournament. The only second round game is here:

The third round showed a hot clash between @me_pennyboy and @champion-19! @champion-19 nearly lost the game but was saved by the clock!
