    Another snakey draw?

    I suspect sodacat has taken up the c3 Sicilian with all these half points... :)

    You forget that I was joint leader with one round to go in 2012. I may be six years older now but on a good day I can still play a few decent moves.

    Big money won on the Lopez win against Sam.

    No predictions from Tim, Ciaran or Past_Pawn - so a bye point to each.

    I have the following now. Two clear leaders after appearing.

    13 - EnPassant
    12 - Retd.LoyolaCpt
    9 - ChessPlayer123
    7 - Reunion
    6 - Zeitnot
    6 - Sodacat
    6 - cdeb
    5 - Tim Harding
    5 - Rathminor
    3 - Ciaran
    1 - Past_Pawn_99

    Round 4 is here

    I think I need to gamble a bit to get back into this - so going all in here. Dermot Nolan, Paul O'Neill and Mihailo to win.

    CDEB your scoring is wrong,,,,,,Lopez is lower rated than Collins so 5 pts for those of us that predicted an Alex win!!

    I've given you one point for round 3, and you've given yourself 3 points - but I think it's actually 5?

    A prediction of a win for Lopez, who was the lower-rated player? So you should be on 10 now.

    In fact, ignore my table above; it's nonsense.

    A massive 13 points for En Passant!

    I'm conducting a stewards enquiry after allegations that En Passant has been using a crystal ball to make his predictions. If the charges are proven he will of course be disqualified.

    I strongly reject the accusation that I have been using a crystal ball. My predictions are entirely based on reading tea leaves.

    ChessPlayer123 (9)predicts win for Manojlovic, draws for Nemeth and Fox.

    Also in the game on board 3 between O'Donnell and Murphy they're both rated 2336. What points will people get as a result of a prediction from this game?

    3 for a draw and 5 for a win BUT if you pick a player of equal rating to win and he loses then you are deducted 5 points. Who will be brave enough to gamble??

    A win for Lopez, a win for Fox, and a win for Nolan - is what absolutely won't happen now that I've predicted it...
