IM Norm Tournament at the 2020 Oakville Winter Chess Championship

[Aris Marghetis]

FM Liang and FM Posthuma - good work both! - hope you got a good sleep and have enough energy to continue!

what about "the staff" lol

[Fred McKim]

Is there a link to a crosstable ?

What is the score needed for the IM norm ?

[Hans Jung]

I figure you guys would be spelling each other with naps - so you would be fresh as daisys.

[Hans Jung]

Rd 4 Mark Plotkin first to the post with a forcing finish.

[Hans Jung]

Mark stopped Liran Zhou's winning streak (+3) and now leads with 3.5/4.

[Hans Jung]

Tomas Krnan - Mark Plotkin round 5. Stay tuned.

I've dropped a note to Ken (pairings guy this weekend) but he's scrambling preparing for the concurrent Oakville Winter Open this weekend. Should be posted within a few hours.

That IS funny Hans!

King and pawn endgames, young Nicholas, good to study
