Good you see your maths in hanging up, 11 players registers and 63 from Russia and Georgia

Thought it was another April Fool, but then saw the time

The start time is 15:00 Georgian time which I think will be 12:00 English time.

Good luck to all

I see the top 14 qualify for the World Cup (hope they have changed the tiebreaker since the men's event) - do we know if any of those playing are already qualified?

I've learned not to try and second guess FIDE but assume some of them must be qualified on rating. Luke has received no confirmation from FIDE yet that he has qualified for the World Cup so confusion reigns.

Round 1 results:

23 23 IM Houska Jovanka 2429 0 0 WIM Isgandarova Khayala Ilqar Qizi 2143 88 0-1
35 35 IM Milliet Sophie 2388 0 0 WIM Lauterbach Ingrid 2100 100 1-0

Round 2 pairing:

39 100 WIM Lauterbach Ingrid 2100 0 0 IM Houska Jovanka 2429 23

I think these reports should also mention multi-time British woman champion Keti Arakhamia-Grant whose round 2, board 12 game can currently be viewed on the live games.

In the last European women's championship Keti was right up there among the leaders until the closing rounds.

Keti now among 16 players (including N Kosintseva, Lahno, Stefanova and Cmilyte) with 2/2, and Lauterbach beat Houska!
