Hmmm - it seems they slightly modified the rules from last year. "Excluding match points" seems new.

The score doesn't matter - WYD is out. Remember, it is only if players tie on match results that the game results matter.

Paranang gave Hina a tough time at Asian Cup. She has good chances here as well.

Ady is playing so well...

Or maybe the ranking is just not precise enough to distinguish players that close together in level. This isn't pure mathematics and their results are consistent with just about any reasonable probability model based on such rankings.

It's mathematics, 47>53 in WR.

Where does Odo get all her power from? She is even more atomic than Mima with her topspins...

Yeah, they made him a custom blade but with the VCO handle to sell the VCO :D.

Or he kept his blade, changed the handle to the VCO handle, and EJs are not any wiser but feel better.

Remembering from last year, the only points that matter are the ones between the players who tie with each other. So if Dang beats Cifuentes, the only thing that matters is the Qiu vs Jha match and who gets either more games or in the case of a 2-2 tie, more points in that specific match...

WCT gives himself a chance... probably moot in the end, but a chance is a chance lol.

Well, this world Cup format has its plusses and minuses. More inclusive, larger event and shows some potential in terms of its organization. I do have some nostalgia for the old event.

It happens in the World Cup (football) and Olympic games too, people should not take it personally lol.

Yeah the WTTC is not for ranking what it used to be. Very much a shame IMHO, but let us see how it goes.

We have TTR here so serve controversies are good.

Over the Hill MLTT player Wang Eugene reminding us why I said it was really silly to talk about MLTT players in terms of age instead of skill level. All the arguments I made about Kou Lei could be applied to him as well.

Youtueba chats: Uda overrated... Uda daydreaming...

The US was independent in chess in 1970. Pal Benko gave up his spot to Bobby Fischer in the candidates and the rest is history. You don't need a country to have a CNT structure for Kenji to do the right thing. And no doubt, Cho may have beaten Sora. That's besides the point unless you are...

I don't think Kanak has beaten Qiu before. But of course, he only has to split games unless Qiu beats Cifuentes even worse.

Cifuentes looked a bit off. Unfortunately for him, it doesn't get any easier.
