Notes
Ratings
  • FIDE ratings are from the February 2024 list
  • ICU ratings are from the February 2024 list
Discrepancies
  • Many of the round 4 games and results from live boards do not match the results from Chess-Results and rating reports. Perhaps there were crossed wires somewhere? To be on the safe side, no round 4 games are given in this report. The games can be played through on Livechess or Lichess (see above), and are also available in this pgn file. Any confirmation of which games should be attributed to which players would be greatly appreciated.
  • Verlekar - Baird, round 1, is given as 1/2-1/2 on live boards but as 1-0 in Chess-Results and rating reports. This report uses 1-0.
