            ALL REGISTERED PLAYERS should have just received a critical email from me. If not, please check your spam. If still not, please email Victor Plotkin ASAP.

            Thank you, Aris Marghetis, Chief Arbiter.

                Bizarre that you think people will read ChessTalk before their email - lol

                Seriously, email is not always a reliable method of communication in an emergency
                - you might want to consider sending Shiyam and Michael a text message
                (assuming you have their mobile phone numbers...? and that you don't pay for text messages.... etc etc) Always extra pitfalls!
                ...Mike Pence: the Lord of the fly.

                  LOL, one of the things my email asks for is their cell number ... and I sent the email before posting here (see late last night)

                      So we had the Technical Meeting last hour, and among other things, we did the classic Drawing of Lots. The Open section will be a 12-player 11-round single-round-robin, followed by 4-game playoff matches between the top 4 finishers (1v4 & 2v3). The Women section will be 5-player 10-round double-round-robin (no playoffs). I gotta get up really early for Euro chess, so I'll issue the official itemized schedule later this weekend. In the meantime, people can plug in the following numbers into classic Berger tables. Thank you to all the players attending this evening, and good news for chess fans, in addition to streaming some games on Twitch, I should be able to post almost all games here at ChessTalk within an hour of their completion. And here are the Berger #s:

                      1 - Joseph
                      2 - Raja
                      3 - Rohan
                      4 - Mark
                      5 - Razvan
                      6 - MaxR
                      7 - MaxG
                      8 - Shiyam
                      9 - Victor
                      10 - Michael
                      11 - MaxC
                      12 - Evgeny

                      1 - Qiyu
                      2 - Julia
                      3 - Svitlana
                      4 - Ngoc
                      5 - Carina

                            None. Not rated. But I'll gladly post the results here after every round.

                                Hans, I really appreciate that! A few people have thanked me, and it makes a world of difference. In the last couple of days, I've met privately with every single player, and we met as a group last night. I had to temporarily play "bad cop" in reading out the Fair Play regulations, and now I'm so looking forward to the action. These 17 players are such a wonderful group of people, spanning decades of age, logging in from all over the continent, and apparently all really excited to play against other top players. Like I mentioned above, I expect to be posting here a lot after every round.
