Hi,
From now on, please send your emails to chess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Round 5 deadline is Saturday, December 19, at 16:00 UTC.
Johannes, please supply the links.
As for white and black, David Schuh has had one white, 2 blacks and a bye. In
Round 5 he gets white.
Everybody else has had 2 whites and 2 blacks. Johannes Grib, Schuh's opponent
gets black of course.
The other ten players in Round 5 will be given color determined by the
following procedure. If the last digit in the Monday closing Dow Jones Average
is odd, the colors will be as given below. For example, if the DJ Average
closes at 30246.27, the last digit 7 is odd. Then Getting white would be
Deville, Saponara, et cetera.
If the last digit is even, the colors would be reversed. Getting black would be
Deville, Saponara, et cetera.
Soon after the Monday close, I shall email our list with the color results.
The Round 5 pairings are:
Deville, Slagle.
Saponara, Trivedi.
Cockayne, Hague.
Graham, Le Brun.
Ibanez, Ryan.
Schuh, Grib. For this game, the colors cannot be reversed.
Rosenkoetter gets a 7 point bye.
Best wishes, Jim Slagle
