Terminita

still nothing from whistler.  He has not been on in a week either.

finally played our game, and to everyone's great surprise Terminator beat OopsyWhoopsy

Hey Terminator, congrats on your belated win.  Now, let's try to get our 2nd round game in before Wednesday's deadline.  I'm on Meta time, 9 hours earlier than you, so I propose we play on Tuesday, 9:00am Meta = 6:00pm Lebanon.  Let me know if that works.  Or if you need to play in the morning, then I'll plan to stay up late one night.

Round of 32 Preview.
 
Well folks, two of our games were played already. Both games saw the favorite advance, in Hielco and tecato.
 
Our two remaining games could offer up some fireworks.
 
#4 Flyers7 ( Currently #17 with a Krach of 2778) vs #5 whistler (Currently ranked #19 with a krach rating of 2758)
 
This matchup is very close as the current rankings would suggest. Both players had a smooth run through their first round opponents and both players are looking to make the sweet 16. I'm expecting a real battle. These guys split their only head to head meetings on Jan 28th. Flyers won a short game and whistler won a 400 + move affair. It's a tough call to make here. I think Flyer's past tournament experience could give him the edge here in an otherwise dead heat. TNRockyraccoon's pick: Flyers7 > 500 moves.
 
 
#3 TheTerminator (Currently ranked #10 with a krach of 3620) vs #6 Xerxes (Currently ranked #28  with a krach of 1925 )
 
This game took long time coming together. Termi's home location has presented some problems with scheduling. This can be tough for both opponents. However, Termi managed to get the game played and has advanced to the round of 32 to face Xerxes for a coveted spot in the sweet 16. These two have never played, but both have plenty of tournament experience in the past. I'm expecting a slow progressing game where both players are very calculating. Key in this game is to play to win and not play to not get beaten. This one could be a tough one to get played but both players have worked the MB recently to schedule. Let's keep our fingers crossed. TNRockyraccoon's pick: TheTerminator <600 moves.

Hi Flyers,
I will be available this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon between 10:30pm to 1:00am Meta time.
