Hi Swami,

Xpdnt got booted?

[Ovyron]

So, how many engines are there?

I'll make my predictions [...] later.

[opraus]

Oops, I see. <= 2300

[swami]

Oops, I see. <= 2300

Ofcourse, It's rated higher than 2350, I think I'll add Xpdnt in the other tourney, GBT - 1 to check the progress.

[swami]

So, how many engines are there?

I'll make my predictions [...] later.

101 engines now. I'll add 27 more after this tournament is finished.

And then Knock out follows later If I get a chance.

Consider that I have a whole rating list based on 1min+1sec time control, this should be easy for me. Can you not post the results until the tournament is finished?

You bet? We'll see

I will post the results after 30 rounds, 40 rounds, 50... etc like How I did the last time around...

So that's why, I'm giving you a 7 days time to finalize your picks, is 7 days too short? how about 10?
