Re: Tradewise Gibraltar Festival 2018
Oddly, David's has now restarted again and he's only slightly worse (as opposed to minus 54). Nakamura drew. Wang Hao should win and there's going to be a lot of joint leaders overnight.

He subsequently drew with Rapport so they join the group on 7/9. Gelfand-Gupta was a draw so the only additions to the 7/9 group would come from Howell-Vitiugov & Grandelius-Wang Hao.Jonathan Rogers wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 5:19 pmAh right, I was wondering who was actually winning the thing! I find it a difficult event to keep track of, with so many top names, and naturally this forum rather focuses on the procedures and transparency in claiming half point byes.
Naka still doing well, I presume? ?

You're not giving Oparin any chance then?
EDIT: and as I write, Oparian agrees a draw, so I think we'll take that as a "no".

Re: Tradewise Gibraltar Festival 2018
It was explicitly part of the tournament conditions at the Yeovil Congress: re-pairings after half an hour, defaults after one hour; players who turned up after their opponents had been re-paired but before the default time would get half a point.Ian Thompson wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 6:33 pmIf I turned up before the default time for a game and there was no opponent to play I'd expect to score 1 point.IM Jack Rudd wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 11:20 amI've given more than one half-point bye in my tournaments before, mostly for rather odd reasons.

Re: Tradewise Gibraltar Festival 2018
I think I overestimated Wang Hao's position but he still has a chance of being on the right side of an Arkell.

Well what an interesting last round. My first reaction is that MVL looks well pjaced

Re: Tradewise Gibraltar Festival 2018
A reasonable view, at least until his 8th move. From there he had to tread carefully to avoid being worse but black seemed happy to simplify and they've just clocked off having reached move 30.JustinHorton wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 10:13 pmWell what an interesting last round.

Re: Tradewise Gibraltar Festival 2018
Heh, so they have. Do we know who are likely to be the top four on tie-break if everybody ends up on 7.5? (Aronian or Dubov or even Nakamura may render this irrelevant, of course.)
