Time to check up again on our fave tournament!

Don’t feel down if you’re not competing: that just means you have more time to kibitz :3 :3

Black harasses a dango in dubi – ДмитрийТуровский.

Meanwhile, ДмитрийТуровский has claimed a huge centre in this game against OSR member Xenonoxid.

V.III. has become embroiled in an early pushing fight against khubla.

After an unusual 3-3 variation V.III. and Xenon have shifted into a calm opening.

A tactically tense position has emerged as dubi attempts sabaki against cat player Valkbird.

Black flees with a dragon in Xenonoxid – bodlike.

A peculiar corner shape has emerged in Ledzep1970 – Negatratoron.

asnark has gained a big centre from Negatratoron.

A floating group hangs out in the top right, in this game between Greenlizard0. and N32.

An early pincer fight in mingwei – avbn2007.

Meanwhile, avbn2007 attempts a tesuji against goongoon.

barrykim puts avasilkin under pressure in the centre.

Black takes the corners in wwoofer3 – vvsalii.

Sadu Mardnul aims for blood against kavias.

I packed all of my dashboards to a container (Tableau calls it a “story”).
Now you can see them, one by one, clicking on the navigation bar on top.

I like this one

Fitting y = a * (1 - d^( b * ( x - c ))) gives the result like this (x axis is days). Don’t pay any attention to the bottom-left corner. Problem with fitting like this is that small changes in the curve can significantly shift the intersection with 1038 line.

True.
I’m trying to do that but… well, the best fitting that I found has the max value at 9500, so apparently this round won’t have an end. :grin:

I didn’t change “d” though. I used plain “exp” function, which uses “e” as base.

Here goes. As expected, my last opponent just timed out, it was his last game and he was already disqualified. It’s quite a sad way of achieving this first round, even with 8 winning games, including 3 by timeout.
Now there are only 4 running games left in my group, all involving the same player already disqualified by timeout in other games.
Now I have to keep my fingers crossed and try to stay fit until the second round, whenever that is.

Interesting position right now in Spenoa 21k – calculus 17k.

Meanwhile, Black tries to recoup his losses in mdestroyer 20k – calculus.

White takes early territory in palusijf – wurfmau3.

An exciting middle game seems to be in the works in wurfmau3 – Alarik.

Meanwhile, wurfmau’s game against KevinRaker has already left professional reference (according to Waltheri).

KevinRaker attempts an influential power opening against Alarik.

9981 has claimed big territory after an early pushing battle against jetlag11235.

A territorial opening in Xyrhor – Anenofus.

DCI – Gasni is developing calmly.


After New Year, enough games may have finished that it’ll be worth transcribing the links to the active ones into a table.

Black was so close to victory

Score is wrong. Top right corner isn’t seki. White group is dead. Black actually won the game.

Well, I guess if they agreed on the final score, it is what it is. the scoring phase is also part of the game. Or is there any rule that some higher power can overrule the players after they agreed?
