Will the winner participate in Dortmund later this year? And if so, would it be Bacrot or Moiseenko?
Bacrot is back !
On the official site Bacrot is 1st and should be qualified for Dortmund. But the site is very bad, imho, and therfore I’m not sure. Due to the rules there should have been a tie-break …
official website:
Tiebreak systems for tournament A1, A2 and B:
1. The number of games played with Black. Byes and forfeited games will be considered as games played with White.
2. The average of the opponents’ ratings minus the highest and the lowest rating.
Bacrot has had 1 more black game than Moiseenko (5 vs 4) and a slightly better avg opponent rating according to the website.
Unfortunately Ray Robson seems to have lost his 3 last games in a row …
