A review of the games

Concluded the Fifth round:

the Blitz tournament is championed by Omega. Congratulations Omega (ujeqaf).

At this point, with only one round missing in December, the table of positions of the Blitz tournament can't be altered by any result. IH-COL can't accumulate enough point to reach Omega, and Jwocky can't accumulate enough points to reach IH-COL. The blitz tournament will end with the ranks: Omega(1), IH-COL(2), and JWocky(3). The games, nonetheless are expected to be played on the second Saturday on December 2017 for the Blitz tournament Clausure.

The Standard tournament is headed at a 4 - 1 draw by IH-COL and JWocky.

IH-COL is expected to take the left-point, since SHM abandoned the tournament before the first move. While Keith is currently in a position unable to reach the headers, the game Keith (W) - JWocky (B) to be played on December 2017, offers an interesting positions. A draw, or a win by Keith will make IH-COL champion of the Standard tournament, but a win by JWocky will force an end-draw, and games to be followed to determine the Championship on the second Sunday of December 2017!
