First game Shawn R-L had a tough maneuvering middle game and endgame until his opponent allowed him to create a passed pawn on c3 with surrounding tactics. After that Shawn mopped up efficiently.

Svitlana Demchenko had better placed pieces in the endgame and eventually broke through. -
Hans Niemann is the top seed. Some how I thought he was too old.Comment

It's an easy mistake to make if we think Carlsen's cheating accusation against Niemann in Sept 2022 was a mature response to an adult's misbehaviour.
But it was neither.Comment

Andy Woodward knocked out Hans Niemann in rd 3. I enjoyed the game, full of attacking moves.Last edited by Hans Jung; Saturday, 23 September, 2023, 10:24 AM.Comment

The nitty-gritty is over. Yesterdays two rounds in one day. All the Canadian contestants are doing well. Shawn R-L 2.5 out of 3 and Jonathan Han with a great 2 out of 3, considering he lost only to a GM. Svitlana Demchenko also has 2.5 out of 3.Comment

Painful losses for both Shawn and Svitlana in round 4.Comment

Rd 5 Shawn's persistent queen play pays off.Comment

After 5 Svitlana Demchenko is 14th with 3.5.
Shawn RL also has 3.5
Jonathan Han has 3 and needs to catch a break with the pairings. He keeps getting bumped up to GM's and then down to 1800's.Comment
