Since I am presently unable to access the control panel, I'll write the
results hereafter.


The last game of Chess between Nicola Caridi and Thomas McElmurry ended in
a draw.

FD	4 points, SB=10, qualified at Xiangqi
JG	1 point, SB=0
TT	3 points, SB=5, qualified at Chess
SH	4 points, SB=8, qualified at Xiangqi
PP	0 point, SB=0
NC	4.5 points, SB=10.75, qualified at Chess and Shogi
TM	2.5 points, SB=3.75
NF	1.5 points, SB=1.25
AF	5 points, SB=15.5, qualified at Chess and Xiangqi
DP	2.5 points, SB=4.25, qualified at Shogi
GG	5 points, SB=12, qualified at Chess and Shogi

The overall ranking is    AF GG NC FD SH TT DP TM NF JG PP.

Hence the second-round games will be:
Chess  AF vs. GG, AF vs. NC, AF vs. TT, GG vs. NC, GG vs. TT, NC vs. TT
Xiangqi  AF vs. FD, AF vs. SH, FD vs. SH
Shogi,  GG vs. NC, GG vs. DP, NC vs. DP,
with the player named first moving first.

To qualify for the second-round play-offs, a player will have to tie for
first or to be just half a point behind (excepted for Nicola Caridi who
qualified at Chess with a win and a draw). So, if a player wins all his
games in a variant, he will be declared Champion for that variant.

I am also directly qualified for the third round with the Chess Champion,
the Xiangqi Champion and the Shogi Champion, with Gary Gifford, Nicola
Caridi and Fergus Duniho as possible substitutes in case of overlap.
