I hope Thomas Debarre will do well. I read he defeated Catalin Taranu and Fan Hui recently. And he's still young :)

If you have Twitter, you can follow tweets with the #wagc2010 hashtag to get results and updates. Bit surprising that Thailand rep beat Romania's.


How do I do this?

I don't, sadly. Maybe this will be the thing that finally makes me create an account.

Unless the content is the same as http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23wagc2010

Thanks for the heads-up. :)

Ranka has some results in their latest article as well, from which I gather that Nikola Mitic has defeated Geert Groenen :(

Martin Stiassny is posting the more interesting results in the german go forums.

Here his news from the second round:

Northkorea wins against japan

Bernhard Scheid (austria) beats Ondrej Silt

Thomas Hsiang (USA) wins against Thomas Debarre (france) by 0.5 points, both of some stated that they saw themself ahead the complete game and were wondering about the close result

Sadly Thomas and Ondrej both lost :(

Pairings for round 7 can be found at: http://kamyszyn.go.art.pl/wagc2010

Tough pairing for Ge Yongfei, he's already lost to both Koreas, and now he gets Hong Kong. I wonder why they're pairing the player with the highest SOS up :-?

South Korea's Song gets a relatively light pairing in Alexey Lazarev.

Silt vs. Sato is interesting, I think Silt should have a chance there.

Fredrik should be a shoe in for 5 points, paired against the only 1d on 4 points.

Anyone on only 3 points is out of the running for the top 10.
