    In Round 3, Raja Panjwani defeated GM Yermolinsky ... seems to be on a bit of a roll!

    Keep up the good work Raja!
    Good luck to the other Canadians in the Spice Cup too: Gerzhoy and Jung.

        Nope. I exchanged tweets with Susan about this... in a nutshell, there is no webpage for the tournament - just the updated blog posts.
        She said that she would send the pgn files after the tournament to Mark @ TWIC. The pairings give a bit of a hint about the standings
        since the boards are listing in top-to-bottom order. I also don't know why there are sometimes multiple byes in a round... maybe that is
        just part of the way the tournament is structured? Off hand I don't even know how many rounds there are in it...

          I see that the blog posts with the pairings now (as of Round 5) include each player's current score - a big improvement!

                  In the 2013 SPICE Cup in St. Louis, IM Raja Panjwani is now tied for first to third places with 3.5/4. He has, in order, defeated FM Jung (round 1), defeated GM Corrales Jimenez (round 2), drawn GM Boros (round 3), defeated GM Yermolinsky (round 4). He will play Black against GM Ipatov (2625) in round 5, on board two. It's a great run, and let's all hope he can keep it going!

                    Unfortunately, he lost in round 5 to GM. Ipatov.

                        I think Raja could still potentially score a GM norm in this event with a strong finish. :)

                        He has 4.5 out of 7, and has already played enough GMs (three for a 9-round event) to potentially qualify for a norm. The leaders only have 5 out of 7.

                          You are right, Frank...but given the pairings, he will have to at least draw a 2700+ super GM to get the norm...

                            Raja will face GM Quang Liem Le of Vietnam, in round nine, but he will have the White pieces. The Vietnamese GM is currently rated 2712, good for #34 in the world. GM Ipatov sits alone in first place with 6/9, half a point ahead of a group of players at 5.5, including both Raja and GM Quang.

                              I haven't been able to find any games in the usual sources either - are they blocking them to the public?
