Sergio must be the big favorite now that he is ahead by 4 points!

Dutch humor ... So far score is - 2 draws. FID kindly agreed to delay beginning of match by 1 day. End of 2nd game (when I logged in) looked like White Duke where Ron had red pieces and Sergio - white.

Score after day one:
King 0
Scarpetta 0
drawn 4
No blood yet, but still a long way to go...
Only saw the last game which was a standard Laird and Lady draw. Published play until the last move.

I caught some of the third game, but then had to go. It looked pretty interesting.

Re: World Championship Match : Ron King vs. Sergio Scarpetta
what is the score at the moment???? i watch the very first game and it was great to see Michele Borghetti watching and giving the rest of us insight .... unfortunately i don't have time now to stay up all night like with the 3-move championship.
Good luck to Sergio & Ron ... may the best man win

Danny, after two days of competition, the score is 0-0-8. In baseball cadence the anouncer would say "At the end of eight games, no wins, no losses, eight draws."Danny_Alvarez wrote:what is the score at the moment????
