Fellow Chessers,  

Five games have been completed in the past two weeks and are shown below.   With many more games to play, the race is very wide open and everyone is in contention. I'll be putting out the round 5 matches in a couple of weeks.    (And let me note that my no-loss mark will soon be marred.)

Almost half of the games are complete. jvila has won 7 of his past 8 games, has lead of 4.5 points, Divil has won 3 in a row. On the other side, Kirby Castle is in a poor run of 5 games, and I (Charles) have dropped 4 of 6 games. See the eniola:jvila match, it is quite interesting (game 39269) . The first three rounds are complete and round 7 starts 01 August (pairings below).
