I think Round 9 might be as well...

Re: British Championship Congress 2021
Looks like Hebden-Pert, Olson-Ledger, Harvey-Gormally at the top, provided the 4½-and-below scoregroups pair.

Re: British Championship Congress 2021
Ach, so they have. They'll both have to downfloat to the 4½ group then.

Re: British Championship Congress 2021
Sucikova, by the way, has a live WIM norm chance, but what result she needs will depend on who she gets in round 9.

A norm as long as she plays a 2012 I thought albeit that was a hasty calculation.IM Jack Rudd wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 4:55 pmSucikova, by the way, has a live WIM norm chance, but what result she needs will depend on who she gets in round 9.

Re: British Championship Congress 2021
Hmmm. My calculations were that if she gets Gormally, she only needs to turn up; if she plays Finn, she needs to win.LawrenceCooper wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 5:04 pmA norm as long as she plays a 2012 I thought albeit that was a hasty calculation.IM Jack Rudd wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 4:55 pmSucikova, by the way, has a live WIM norm chance, but what result she needs will depend on who she gets in round 9.
(Willison's 1936 not being a real 1936 hurts her here, because it means she has to put Gordon's rating in at its face value.)

Re: British Championship Congress 2021
Perhaps the biggest surprise of all in the pairings is that there were no further withdrawals:

So a pairing against Gormally would be right up her alleyIM Jack Rudd wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 5:08 pmMy calculations were that if she gets Gormally, she only needs to turn up; if she plays Finn, she needs to win.

Re: British Championship Congress 2021
Perhaps this should be in the Pedant's thread but Jack is not totally accurate in his assessment of the situation. She needs to do more than turn up. She has to make a move (indeed both players do) ie the minimum requirements for a game have to take place.

So what are the bets as to who will win the trophy tomorrow?
