My first walkover Mein erster kampfloser Sieg

Round eight, and I never played a move. Nurija Hasanovic didn't show up, and the arbiter told me he thought the round started at 17:00, not 16:00. The weekend rounds start two hours earlier than the weekday ones, so that's the whole story: a mixed-up start time, and a point that's mine without a single move.

Five from eight now, my first walkover of the tournament. I didn't win this one at the board. There's nothing to analyse either, because there was no game. The rank list only just caught up too: 24th after round seven, 14th after this one, ten places in a day I didn't play.

Round nine is Sunday morning at 09:30, board six, White against Marc Rukwid (1954), both of us on five points. A Monte Carlo model of the last round has me at about 64 percent to finish top ten if I win, and zero if I draw. So it's win or nothing tomorrow.
