<OhioChessFan> is greatly sorry to all his adoring fans for missing a recap last round. He has received dozens of emails begging him not to let that happen again. <WinKing> was especially upset, and <juan31> threatened to begin a vuvuzela marathon if it happened again. <lostemperor> was found, and has decided to run his contest, although we can't get him to participate in this one.

As for the predictions, anyone who can figure this tournament out is either a genius or insane. <GE> and <wordfunph> are currently controlling the contest, as they continue to lead in 2 Rankers each. The reader is free to decide whether those 2 fall into the genius or insane category. 3 of the 4 Rankers are tightly bunched, while <GE> has a comfortable lead in Bonus Ranker.

Score,UserID

Still a really tough contest to predict. Who'd have thought So would win a game with Black and then lose 2 of the next 4? In our contest, <WinKing> has joined the leaderboard, as he moved to the top of the Moves+Bonus Ranker. <wordfunph> still leads 2 Rankers, and <GE> is holding to the lead in one. <Switch> is playing part time and still ahead of half the field. <Bubulli55> and <OhioChessFan> still don't have a #1, although it's considered rude to point that out.
