Intrigue is on the way

AM

[Ingo_Zachos]

Thx to Myles and Alex,


and

Go, Igor, gooooooo!

[Alex_Moiseyev]

Go, Igor, gooooooo!

Igor is very good tough player but I don't believe in magic First place - R. King, 2nd place - S. McCosker

[Ingo_Zachos]

I have translated the table above into round results and a total score:

Round One:

Dobbins-Moran 2-2,
Young-McNally 2-2,
Oliphant-Hannigan 4-0(!),
King-Lovell 4-0,
McCosker-Doyle 4-0,
Martynov-Kee 3-1,
Logue-McIlkenny 2-2,
Phillips-Kierans 2-2,
Cronin-O'Driscoll 4-0 (!),
Bye(2 points): Cunningham

Round Two:

Dobbins-Phillips 3-1,
Young-Kierans 2-2,
Hannigan-O'Driscoll 2-2,
King-Oliphant 4-0,
McNally-Logue 4-0 (!),
McCosker-Cronin 2-2(!),
Kee-Lovell 3-1,
Martynov-Moran 3-1,
McIlkenny-Cunningham 2-2,
Bye(2 points): Doyle

Standings after two rounds:

1. King 8 pts.,
2.-5. McNally,
McCosker,
Martynov,
Cronin 6 pts.,
6. Dobbins 5 pts.,
7.-12. Young,
Kee,
Oliphant,
McIlkenny,
Kierans,
Cunningham 4 pts.,
13. Moran 3 pts.,
14.-18. Hannigan,
Doyle,
Logue,
Phillips,
O' Driscoll, 2pts.,
19. Lovell 1pt.


I also think that Ron King in the absence of the Italians and Turkmeistans is favorite, since he will take a few rounds 4-0, but I predict that Igor will give Shane a good race for 2nd place, though you can also expect Francie and Sean and Bill to do well.

Intrigue in Master Division is almost over Igor lost both games to Ron and cleaned him a way to 1st price.

According points it seems like Intermediate players play more consistence and scientific checkers Only one match ended with 2 wins, rest - only 1 win or drawn match.

Suki got 22 points out of 24 only drawing two games with young Ireland star Shane Mccosker. It looks like Suki is well prepared and armed for the upcoming QT ... way to go, Ron ! Fun is growing

[Ingo_Zachos]

so 4 games in Ireland now per match?

No, two games (one ballot). A win is 2 points, a draw 1 point, a loss 0 points.

I think it will be 8 rounds with repairing in the last round.

There were 10 rounds when I played here in 2007. However 40 entrants in 3 Divisions is very good turn. Congratulations to organizers. Also congratulations to Ron, Shane and Igor for well done on very strong field. Congratulations to winners of Senior and Intermediate Divisions.

Should we have a chance to see games ... at least in Master Division ?

[Ingo_Zachos]

Congratulation to Ron King for a very fine performance. Also congratulations to Shane McCosker, the best Irish Player and to Igor Martynov, who scored the best result any German ever scored in a major event. He is like the old wine: getting better each year.

Also big congratulations to my Irish Draughs friends. This year I failed to join them, but I will be back!
