Re: Caplin Hastings 2023-24
Shreyas can't possibly need 2/2 for a norm; if a field is norm-eligible, 7/9 is good enough for it.

I suspect it should read Shreyas needs 1 v a 2568 in round 9 or 1.5 v 2082IM Jack Rudd wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 1:13 pmShreyas can't possibly need 2/2 for a norm; if a field is norm-eligible, 7/9 is good enough for it.

Re: Caplin Hastings 2023-24
Thanks for publishing the right figures Loz.
The Internet seems to be fixed so the live games can be broadcast.
(That's my excuse for getting things wrong and deducting 1/2 from Shreyas' total!!! It is also not very warm.)

Borna has saved a difficult looking ending against Edouard so needs to play a 2393+ tomorrow and win.Alex McFarlane wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 12:49 pmThe Internet is currently down at the venue!!!
Shreyas needs 1.5 v a 2568 in round 9 or 2/2 v 2082
For IM norms we have
Borna Derakhshani needing 1.5 v 2393 or 2/2 v 1907
Tom Brown needs 2/2 v 2259
(subject to confirmation)
Tom Brown lost his game.
Shreyas is a pawn up but a draw looks most likely. Move 40 (again) did cost him most of his advantage.

Shreyas drew so all to play for tomorrow.

Re: Caplin Hastings 2023-24
So both need to win, but presumably Shreyas has White and Borna more likely to play Black? What time do they start tomorrow? (One never knows with the last round - well, not if one is an idle spectator who is even too lazy to look things up).

Re: Caplin Hastings 2023-24
Same time tomorrow (14:15). Shreyas has just had a double black so will be white. Other than that, I'll have to wait for the pairings to appear.Jonathan Rogers wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 7:10 pmSo both need to win, but presumably Shreyas has White and Borna more likely to play Black?

Re: Caplin Hastings 2023-24
There seem to be only two possibilities, assuming a draw on top board. Gupta and Jacobson have to play on board one, while the third co-leader, Zhang, must downfloat since he already played them both. He, like Shreyas, is due White, and the other two players on 6/8, Sengupta and Gasanov, are due Black. Neither of the latter two have played any of the top six.
So it would be
Zhang (2558) v Sengupta (2501) and
Shreyas (2438) v Gasanov (2487)
or
Zhang v Gasanov and
Shreyas v Sengupta.
Presumably those who really understand swiss pairings can already which it should be, by virtue of the ratings.

Re: Caplin Hastings 2023-24
Borna should get an opponent high enough to have a chance of a win albeit black against a 2500 GM won't be easy. He managed to beat one in round 7 though with black so fingers crossed.Jonathan Rogers wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 7:55 pmThere seem to be only two possibilities, assuming a draw on top board.

Re: Caplin Hastings 2023-24
Sengupta is the higher-rated of the two, so he should get the upfloat.

In addition to Shreyas & Borna who need to win for their final norms (GM & IM) Bai Xue also needs to win for a WIM norm.

Re: Caplin Hastings 2023-24
I don't know whether Shreyas really did prepare with Freddy yesterday, as their games suggest, but if so it seems to have been a very successful collaboration.
Will Shreyas still be short of 2500 if he wins today?
