Overall, the team is in good position, but the excitement is in the details.
Liang, Edmond, and Ahmed have won their games.
Christian is up a pawn, but his position looks a little scary to me.
Jayce is working with two rooks and a bishop against a queen. On paper, he has a clear advantage, but the mix of pieces confuses me, and the position is not so clear that I can tell the other guy might not have something up his sleeve. Nonetheless, my money would be on Jayce.
Alex is in a really tantalizing endgame. He is down a rook, which sounds bad, but he is up three pawns. If one of those queens, the game changes, so I'll have to see where his game goes.
Slav has the only queen on the board, and there are only Kings and pawns on the board besides. His opponent has one pawn more than Slav--both on the 6th rank, accompanied by the king. But Slav's pawn is on the 7th rank all by itself on the other side of the board. So it looks like Slav has the game in the bag.
