    Ah, I see it (I think)
    You gave me -6 for predicting that Murray would beat Ryan, when in fact he lost. That isn't a landmine.
    I'll have a goo later on so.

    The scoring should be made simpler for us mortal sub-1900s :)

    Fox win(should be bonus points for picking the Fox to win!)
    I find it hard to disagree so triple points for any Fox win (starting in rd5) BUT( just to make it interesting) if you pick him to win and he draws you lose 5pts

    Looking good for the brave folks who predicted Trisha to win.

    Coming up to the six hour mark now; Mark is evidently hoping it's past her bedtime?

    ... Ah, he's just resigned. She has claimed a lot of scalps lately.

    One draw correctly predicted today (3 pts), no landmines, so I have 4 points now.
    I should have made some braver predictions evidently.
    Hoping to catch up, I will try for tomorrow:

    Wins for Shane Melaugh, Peter Cafolla, Stephen Moran

    Alas Lyons-Cafolla the draw was a landmine - won by the lower-rated player, so a deduction of 3 points drops you back to 1.

    I have you on 11 points, not 17. Difference is the Jonathan O'Connor draw v Henry Li (actually won by the lower-rated player, so -3), the -3 for Alice to draw today.

    Likewise, I have you on 3 points, not 9. Is it the unknown Moran win in round 3 which is the difference?

    zeitnot, alicechristina, Retd.LoyolaCpt and anchor4208 have all posted their scores after the round, which agree with mine. So table after round 4 to follow now.

    Thanks; I wanted to encourage you. It's not nice when everyone says you will lose.

    Actually I was going to raise another point.
    I think the landmine penalties should not apply when ratings are close - say 50 points or less between the players? As it stands I would lose 6 points if Jacob beats you but you are only 2 FIDE points higher than him.

    Boards 13 and 18 are also quite close on rating today and this is liable to happen more and more towards the end of the tournament,

    As per pdemp's recent analysis, maybe a higher-rated player with black should be counted as a lower-rated player if the rating difference is less than 50 points. And vice versa...
