Please post the match timings and results here.
My colleague @Cflour deserves congratulations for the tables he made
Don't forget that in this stage of the candidates, a match contains 10 games, even if a player reaches 5.5, all 10 are played because they count for the tie
Round 1 starts right now and ends next Sunday around 17:00 UTC
The order of matches is posted on the forum for all 5 weeks
The first 2 who will play cross-match in the semi-finals qualify
Good luck everyone!
