SCTLC 2013 Commentary: Round 1

[ ]

Go to: Before the Tournament, Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, Round 4, Round 5, Round 6, Round 7, Round 8.

40 players are competing for four places in the invitational, so you'd think we'd have 20 winners and 20 losers this round, but no: Evan Simpson (Eng) and Matte Dunn (AUS) played to a 411-411 tie.

Pairings for this round were random with exagony due to the short interval between the close of registration and difficulty in obtaining a current rating list.

In first place, with the biggest spread of +328, is Prithwiraj Mukherjee (IND), followed by Christopher Vicary (Eng) +243, Sammy Okosagah (USA) +223 and Steve Perry (Eng) +205. Perry's 555-350 win over John Barker (AUS) was the high game.
