The first games

Slav and Ryan finished out their games with wins.  Edmond is in control.  Ahmed is crushing his opponent, up a Knight, a Bishop and a pawn.  He spent his time (he is down to 15 minutes while the other player still has 43) wisely, so he can demolish the opposition.  Alex is in the thick of things.  Liang is up on time, and up a Rook to a Bishop.  Christian is behind on time, but he just forked the Bishop and King, followed by another check -- looking strong.  Aamir is up a rook, and his opponent just offered a draw.  Smile :-)
