Early on, Christian, Slav, and Ryan are up on time, while Max, James, and Ronald are down on time, and Richard and Phil are up. No telling what that really means -- I won't be surprised if this goes down to less than five minutes on nearly every board. Max's board is filled with pieces, Christian has traded and cleared out a lot more space.
Evanston is playing Benet Academy, who played WY tough. Evanston coach Ken Lewandowski talked to me about how they won't get a lot of tiebreaks for beating Benet, since Benet already lost one. Remember I was noting yesterday how tough our opponents were, while Evanston got some lighter opposition? At the time it seemed like Evanston was getting a break, which came from their 3rd seeding as opposed to our 2nd. Now we have higher tiebreaks because we faced, and triumphed over, the tougher competition.
By the way, I think Evanston should worry about winning against Benet, not how many tie-breaks they are going to get before their eggs are hatched. I think Benet could well upset Evanston.
As Slav adroitly pointed out last night, however -- if we win seven games, tiebreaks don't matter.
