We're off and running in Sinquefield 2018. <Robin01> stunned the field with a 22 point round. Nobody else did much worth mentioning.

In other news, guest scorer <WinKing> is hoping nobody can find scoring mistakes to chide him over. <OhioChessFan> encourages everyone to take every opportunity to do so. <Diademas> was wandering around the playing floor, asking people where the Live Game page is, and people were too embarrassed to tell him that there isn't one. <WinKing> spammed the contest page with like a gazillion pages of rules about how there can't be any draws this tournament, and then predicted all draws! <wordfunph> and <OhioChessFan> were the only two contestants not to score a point that round, and both blamed falling asleep trying to read all those boring rules <WinKing> spammed all over the game page.
