    To keep updating my crosstable might be very challenging. I certainly will not do that. :D
    Actually I have not told the parents yet...but I would appreciate a hand :). So I met with the great folks at Monroi and they did their best to teach me....we will see how good a student I am :). The tournament has been created on their site. Go to Monroi.com. And click on chess games. If it asks for password and stuff just click ok.

    So if all goes well you will be able to follow the games live there. Chesstalk will be the place for the chatter and where you can go if things get screwed up :).

    Looks like at least 9 have a chance to win it depending on who's hot! If only that could be determined in advance! What a field!

    No. I am not in Cegep anymore and I study physics, mathematics and computer science.
    However, nothing is more competitive than life sciences in Cegeps. Since the students can directly enter in medecine at university (no bachelor degree is required like in the rest of Canada or the USA), there is huge competition for the few spots in medecine (one needs to be in the top 5% to have a chance of getting to the interview).

    Then, based on inside info, I change the result for Louis to win his 1st round!

    I guess it's hard to make any predictions on this tournament. We'll just watch and enjoy!

    Maybe Qin and Wang will draw in round 1 and see who can beat the most opponents in the rest of their games.

    Funny. I thought the championship game would be the last one : Jiang-Wang
