anything can happen in this situation! Who will make it into the top 9? who will play in the face off match??? Actually i'm more concerned about the fight for getting into the top 9, but right now it's anyone's for the taking. A couple good tournaments means everything. 1 Kevin 30.5 2 Gnaburit 29.5 3 Juniortay 29 4 Ruifeng 28.5 5 Cryptochess 26.5 6 Kacparov 25 7 Schadenfreude 19 8 ShrekDavid 19 9 Penguingm1 19 10 GACG 17 11 gummersindo 15.5 12 Petrosianic 15.5 13 Syarifmahmudjkt 15 14 CP6033 15 15 Cassoulet 13 15 Swarnapuri 13 17 Saraswathi 9 18 Kynas 7 18 Dortam888 7 20 Fancyknightmaneuvers 5.5 21 LondonSystem22 1.5 22 Cool4chess 0 - KylosBlack (account closed) 13.5 - SilverArm (cheating) 11

Hi Everyone, After some review by our staff we came to two determinations that I'm sure none of you will be upset about: 1) We need MORE rounds for people to play! This is the FINAL chance for everyone to dominate their opponent's and earn prizes... and having only two events per day in time zones that may not be convenient for everyone would not be the right way to decide things... 2) We needed to shorten the time controls so that it is more practical for people's busy schedules.  You're welcome to both!  Schedule: 2014.11.01 09:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.01 15:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.01 21:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.02 09:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.02 15:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.02 21:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.03 09:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.03 15:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.03 21:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.04 09:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.04 15:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.04 21:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.05 09:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.05 15:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.05 21:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.06 09:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.06 15:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.06 21:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.07 09:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.07 15:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.07 21:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.08 09:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.08 15:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.08 21:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.09 09:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.09 15:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.09 21:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.10 09:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.10 15:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.10 21:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.11 09:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.11 15:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds 2014.11.11 21:00 PT    10|5    3 rounds
