Ray has started at his end, so no further entries can be accepted.

Ray will run one cycle and I'll run the other concurrently.
When I post round by round results, they will in effect be with each pairing playing both black and white.
This way we can run 2 cycles which is a huge 82 rounds entailing 1722 games (the biggest CM11 tourney ever at a longer time control than blitz!)

I'm glad that Ray has taken interest in this tournament besides FRC. 8-)

Good to see Arsha and Evgenii enter the competition.

Yep - without his help, I'd have only been running one cycle.

Huge is right, this is massive ! :shock:

My FRC testing is slowing down again as I run out of engines, so I was able to divert spare CPU time to help Graham out here by running a second cycle concurrently. Also, I find it amusing to watch all you CM nerds vying for supremcy :lol: so it's a bit of fun for me :wink:
