[2005-11-14: I've edited this table after the recent and long-dreaded demise of the Black army in Gifford-McElmurry. Just a few minutes later I'm already feeling withdrawal and hoping the last few games will be assigned soon. Has anyone heard from Fergus lately?]

I've been keeping track of the results, and I think the following is correct, although it's possible that I've made mistakes. The last column is the Buchholz-Solkoff tiebreaker, which is guaranteed not to break ties when the tournament is complete.

1Gary Gifford+10 =1  -010.5/11+10 
2Antoine Fourrière+7  =1  -17.5/9+6 
3Andreas Kaufmann+8  =0  -38/11+5 
4Roberto Lavieri+5  =4  -17/10+4 
5Fergus Duniho+6  =0  -36/9+3 
6Carlos Carlos+6  =1  -46.5/11+2+1
7Michael Madsen+6  =0  -46/10+2-1
8Joe Joyce+2  =2  -53/9-3+11
9Thomas McElmurry+3  =0  -63/9-3+10
10Greg Strong+3  =0  -83/11-5+12
11Michael Nelson+2  =1  -72.5/10-5+8
12George Duke+0  =0  -70/7-7 
13Hans Henriksson+1  =0  -101/11-9 

64 games have been completed, and 14 (listed below) remain.
