The chart reminds me of electron shell excitation energies for some reason.

We have capacitor curves and now electron shell energies. Moving up in complexity. String theory next?

  • 36 games left, 53 players involved, 16 groups
  • 2 completed games
  • 1 player resigned
  • 3 players completed all their games
  • 1 groups completed all its games

That was quick! The game’s over: they went to counting, black won by 6.5 pts.
The other game ended by resignation.
The player that resigned from tournament wasn’t involved in either game.

11 games are paused. 10 of them because of 4 players in vacation.

Hey, just found this thread. My game vs txo is the most advanced game apparently, we’re in a super tight endgame but it feels like we’re going to be done soon (up to move 279 now and running out of choices, we’ve really picked up the pace).

I have loved this tournament.

I’m still working on a meaningful visualization. Here is what I have now:

The chart is the same as before (10 posts above) but new colours should make it more readable and more data should make it more interesting.

And notably all players have completed over 44% of their games.

One question, are the paused games due to vacation? Because they may be paused due to the other games the player has in that situation.

2 Likes

Yes, there are just 6 players with more than one ongoing game.

One game seems abandoned by one player and still paused.

Other games were paused because of vacation. Those pauses don’t last long, just as expected.
