The first one has started. There are only five players in this one. I don't know what TER means in the fifth column from the left, but the important number is the Rating column, which tells everyone the strength of the player. I have the second highest rating in this tournament. Can you guess the countries of the participants from the flags? In order from the top they are Russia, Chile, USA, Hungary, and USA. Note the reflection time in the upper right hand corner of the table. Each player has 20 days of thinking time and each move must be made within 2 days of the opponent's previous move.

Update:
A second tournament has started. I have the fifth highest rating, so this tournament will be extremely tough. The countries are, in order from the top, USA, USA, Wales, USA, Australia, Ukraine, and Russia.

That's cool. Does the players 1 - 5 indicate place...or is that just the rooster of players? I assume that you are in 2nd place...which is cool.
That's just the order in which the players registered. No games have been completed, yet.
I have always thought chess to be boring but I love hearing about your dominance of the game. The photo of Spock for you is very appropriate. Good luck and keep me posted on the out come of the games.
