  • wolkor: will the tie games are shown here?
  • ChessBomb: According to the rules: "If more than 4 players tie for 1st place the top 4 shall be decided on performance rating."
  • ChessBomb: since there are already 6 players on are tied with 7.5 points, and more could reach that by the end of the day, there should be no tiebreak games

  • ChessBomb: if there are tiebreak games, we'll try to show them here

  • BlunderSuck: Kamsky won with black againts a stronger oppoenent vs Bacrot
  • wolkor: the question how much add the win brings

  • BlunderSuck: that my feeling too
  • Dr_Walhalla: he is not beacause he won$
  • valmy: Bacrot and Kamsky are probably out
  • wolkor: Sandipan will join the race too
  • valmy: An Bacrot may regret to have been nice to CAMUS de SOLLIER in round 1....
  • BlunderSuck: Adams and Gusta are in sure. Do you agree?

  • wolkor: pons too playing adams too
  • ChessBomb: just announced: playoffs will begin after 17:00 CET (16:00 GMT)
  • BlunderSuck: Sandipan and Kamsky would be close, they both win with black againts weaker opponent and having similar TPR
