It was a very eventful day both in the tournaments and on the fantasy front; while yesterday was very draw heavy and didn’t change things much, a nearly all decisive result day has shook the fantasy standings up quite a bit (enough to bring your reporter back in the thick of things, fourth place.) While at this point, most of the names on the leader board are destined to be repeats, our overall leader has been changing basically every day which makes it nearly certain that it will come down to the last day to decide who the winner is. The keys to success also had a fairly major change with three of the five most important picks losing and now, as might have been guessed, the two tourney leaders are the most important roster members. These are the current standings. Overall Standings by Points: 31 Points: 1st 30.5 Points: 2nd 30 Points: 3rd – 6th 29.5 Points: 7th – 14th 29 Points: 15th – 21st 28.5 Points: 22nd – 31st 28 Points: 32nd – 64th 27.5 Points: 65th – 95th 27 Points: 96th – 146th 26.5 Points: 147th – 196th 26 Points: 197th – 239th 25.5 Points: 240th – 290th 25 Points: 291st – 340th 24.5 Points: 341st – 392nd 24 Points: 393rd – 433rd 23.5 Points: 434th – 459th 23 Points: 460th – 478th 22.5 Points: 479th – 488th 22 Points: 489th – 506th 21.5 Points: 507th – 512th 21 Points: 513th – 518th 20.5 Points: 519th – 520th 19 Points: 521st 18.5 Points: 522nd 18 Points: 523rd – 524th 16.5 Points: 525th 11.5 Points: 526th The Top Twenty One teams are: 1st Place: Ilan Meerovich (2553.8571) – 31 Points Alex Onischuk 5 Yury Shulman 6 Katerine Rohonyan 4.5 Sergey Kudrin 5 Tatev Abrahamyan 5 Josh Friedel 4.5 Sergey Galant 1 2nd Place: Paul Clift (2555.0000) – 30.5 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Anna Zatonskih 6 Yury Shulman 6 Eugene Perelshteyn 4.5 Josh Friedel 4.5 Michael Langer 2 Sergey Galant 1 3rd Place: Karl Bodenheimer (2546.5714) – 30 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Anna Zatonskih 6 Sergey Kudrin 5 Tatev Abrahamyan 5 David Pruess 3.5 Michael Langer 2 Sam Shankland 2 4th Place: Arun Sharma (2550.8571) – 30 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Yury Shulman 6 Sergey Kudrin 5 Josh Friedel 4.5 David Pruess 3.5 Iryna Zenyuk 2.5 Sam Shankland 2 5th Place: Severo Caluza (2553.4286) – 30 Points Yury Shulman 6 Katerine Rohonyan 4.5 Sergey Kudrin 5 Alex Yermolinsky 3.5 Batchimeg Tuvshintugs 4.5 David Pruess 3.5 Larry Kaufman 3 6th Place: Jordan Langland (2554.8571) – 30 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Katerine Rohonyan 4.5 Sergey Kudrin 5 Tatev Abrahamyan 5 Tsaagan Battsetseg 3.5 David Pruess 3.5 Michael Langer 2 7th Place: Rita Mirchandani (2539.1429) – 29.5 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Yury Shulman 6 Tatev Abrahamyan 5 Josh Friedel 4.5 Iryna Zenyuk 2.5 Daniel Ludwig 3 Sam Shankland 2 8th Place: Harrison Leven (2552.0000) – 29.5 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Julio Becerra 4 Tatev Abrahamyan 5 Josh Friedel 4.5 David Pruess 3.5 Daniel Ludwig 3 Larry Kaufman 3 9th Place: Nicholas Karas (2553.3857) – 29.5 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Alex Onischuk 5 Sergey Kudrin 5 Josh Friedel 4.5 David Pruess 3.5 Daniel Ludwig 3 Sam Shankland 2 10th Place: Mark Fortunati (2553.7143) – 29.5 Points Alex Onischuk 5 Yury Shulman 6 Katerine Rohonyan 4.5 Tatev Abrahamyan 5 Josh Friedel 4.5 Iryna Zenyuk 2.5 Sam Shankland 2 11th – 12th Place: Janani Ramachandran (2553.8571) – 29.5 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Anna Zatonskih 6 Alex Onischuk 5 Yury Shulman 6 Daniel Ludwig 3 Michael Langer 2 Sergey Galant 1 11th – 12th Place: Gerald Roberts (2553.8571) – 29.5 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Alex Onischuk 5 Yury Shulman 6 Varuzhan Akobian 4.5 Josh Friedel 4.5 Sam Shankland 2 Sergey Galant 1 13th Place: Michael Aigner (2554.4286) – 29.5 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Yury Shulman 6 Julio Becerra 4 Josh Friedel 4.5 David Pruess 3.5 Daniel Ludwig 3 Sam Shankland 2 14th Place: David Hater (2554.7143) – 29.5 Points Yury Shulman 6 Sergey Kudrin 5 Jesse Kraai 3.5 Alex Yermolinsky 3.5 Josh Friedel 4.5 John Fedorowicz 4 Daniel Ludwig 3 15th Place: Tatev Abrahamyan (2539.2857) – 29 Points Yury Shulman 6 Katerine Rohonyan 4.5 Tatev Abrahamyan 5 Josh Friedel 4.5 David Pruess 3.5 Iryna Zenyuk 2.5 Daniel Ludwig 3 16th Place: Robert Cousins (2549.1429) – 29 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Yury Shulman 6 Katerine Rohonyan 4.5 Josh Friedel 4.5 Dean Ippolito 2.5 Daniel Ludwig 3 Sam Shankland 2 17th Place: David Reading (2551.4286) – 29 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Yury Shulman 6 Varuzhan Akobian 4.5 Katerine Rohonyan 4.5 Jesse Kraai 3.5 Larry Kaufman 3 Sergey Galant 1 18th Place: Daniel Bryant (2552.2857) – 29 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Gregory Kaidanov 3.5 Yury Shulman 6 Sergey Kudrin 5 Daniel Ludwig 3 Larry Kaufman 3 Sam Shankland 2 19th – 20th Place: Bob Halliday (2553.4286) – 29 Points Varuzhan Akobian 4.5 Katerine Rohonyan 4.5 Sergey Kudrin 5 Tatev Abrahamyan 5 Jesse Kraai 3.5 David Pruess 3.5 Larry Kaufman 3 19th – 20th Place: Kevin Hyde (2553.4286) – 29 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Anna Zatonskih 6 Alex Onischuk 5 Katerine Rohonyan 4.5 Daniel Ludwig 3 Larry Kaufman 3 Sergey Galant 1 21st Place: Joseph Freiberg (2553.5714) – 29 Points Irina Krush 6.5 Anna Zatonskih 6 Katerine Rohonyan 4.5 Tatev Abrahamyan 5 Tsaagan Battsetseg 3.5 David Vigorito 2.5 Sergey Galant 1 Just as the day full of draws made for a non-impressive set of daily scores, a day full of decisive results did the opposite, with one person managing the very first perfect 7 / 7 day, with another achieving 6.5 / 7, and twelve tabbing 6 / 7.
