In spite of popular demand, <OhioChessFan> thought it necessary to post a recap. <amw> continues his strong run toward a Triple Crown. <GE> continues to lead the Bonus Ranker, but has been caught by <WinKing>, who managed to tie for the lead there.

As expected, <Switch> passed the hapless and hopeless <chessmoron> and <OCF> in Moves+Bonus Ranker. Both of them have given up hope on this contest, so they won't make any more appeals to the tournament director to have rest days every other day. Wikileaks released this high level espionage conversation between the two:

<chesmoron>: Let's just get this over with.

<OCF>: Maybe we could have another rest day to have time to come up with a plan. Do you think people would get suspicious if we had 3 a week?

<cm>: It's not like all the rest days we've taken is helping us anyway.

<OCF> : Can't you pencil whip us into contention?

<cm>: No, not so long as that pesky do-gooder <WinKing> keeps watching my scoring.

<OCF>: Maybe we can disqualify him.

<cm>: No, <amw> would never stand for that.

<OCF>: Let's just get this over with.

Moves Ranker (# of 1st place UNDER/OVER) - Through <Round 12>

Score,UserID

Things got really exciting that round, as half the contestants hit a perfect. Obviously those contestants didn't include the also rans <OCF> and <chessmoron>. <amw> still leads 3 Rankers but other people are within striking distance in all 3 cases. <lostemperor> and <wordfunph> in particular are close on his heels. <WinKing> moved past <GE> for the lead in Bonus Ranker.

Please be patient with <chessmoron> as he is suffering from severe depression at his feeble efforts in this contest. When he works up enough energy and willpower to post the final scores, he'll be sure to do so with his usual aplomb.
