Yesterday's was C) 39]]> 2022-02-01 00:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2022454583 athrvgupta5 https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2022461153 With some of the top players sitting this tournament out, some of the lower rated players stand a better chance!

- Anthony Chen: In my opinion Anthony is the most likely to win. With a rating upwards of 1700, he is a force to be reckoned with, and was the only one to defeat OCC Season 3 Champion Anish in the last tournament.

- Mouniswar Vasam: Winner of OCC Season 2 and a regular in these tournaments. A member who was actually there back in the original OCC. A 1200 who beat Matthew Bailo twice, who was the runner up in Season 3.

- Kyle Tew: A 1300 placed in a very difficult group. Although he would definitely rank 3rd in terms of chess skill, he has to face both Anthony and Athrv. In the last tournament (and practically every OCC Tournament) Athrv and Kyle wrestled to get into elimination round, and both have won on separate occasions. Who will it be this time?

Put your thoughts in the comments down below!]]> 2022-02-01 00:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2022461153 athrvgupta5 https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2022502849 Henry Y. vs. William W. : From opposite sides of the US come two players for the first game of OCC Season 4! A very tense and exciting game, with a blunder early on by William. At one point mate was inevitable for Henry, but a poor premove decision cost him a piece. Now neck and neck, both battled, with William running very low on time. However, it was a very unexpected checkmate from William! A game that was dominated completely by Henry was eventually won by William. Good job to both sides and we will see more games tomorrow! ]]> 2022-02-01 01:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2022502849 kyleytew https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2022731634 Day 2: The chess action kicks off at 4.00pm! And our first clash in Novi vs Novi is... Ishaan S vs Mouniswar V . This will be no close game, as Mouni is favored over 3:1 in my opinion. However, anything is possible, especially after yesterday's game.
     Coming off a tough loss, Henry is looking for a win over Ryan Q in Henry Y vs Ryan Q . There is 0 question on this as Ryan is also heavily favored. But, we all remember in season 2 when a 900 (William L) had 12 blunders in 1 game (8 were missed mates), so anything is possible.]]> 2022-02-01 06:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2022731634 kyleytew https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2022733853 a) Hudson

Yesterday's answer was a) Hudson]]> 2022-02-02 14:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2025476563 kyleytew https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2026720640 Mouni V. vs Ishaan S.  : The first game of same location players ends in a very expectable fashion! Mouni beating Ishaan. However, Ishaan lasted far longer than how him, Mouni, and any of us expected. A 49-move game with almost all time being run off.
Henry Y. vs Ryan Q. : The fan-favorite, Henry Y, has lost twice. However, disaster struck when the moderators realized that he has been eliminated from the tournament. We hope you will do better next season, Henry!]]> 2022-02-03 03:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2026720640 kyleytew https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2029199558 On Day 4, we will have 4 games, 3 in Group A, and the first of Group B. In Group A, We have 2 deciding matches, Aarnav G vs Henry Y and Ryan Q vs William W and Aarnav G vs Ryan Q. Out of the 8 possibilities, most of them lead to Aarnav and Ryan advancing to the quarter finals, and most likely one of them in the bye. Aayush S vs Anthony C will be the first game of Group B. This game will have a very favorable outcome in Anthony's favor.]]> 2022-02-04 10:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2029199558 kyleytew https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2029210358 William W vs Aarnav G: A very deciding game, ended it expected fashion, a great game won by Aarnav G. William has almost no chance of getting in the tournament.]]> 2022-02-04 10:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2029210358 kyleytew https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2030640324 Aarnav G vs Ryan Q along with Ryan Q vs William W, ended in expected fashion with Ryan easily defeating both of them. Aayush S vs Anthony C also was a quick game as Anthony easily swept Aayush, giving him the lowest ACL in OCC History! A score of just 21! A surprise game, Kyle T vs Aayush S took longer than expected 27 moves longer than expected (20).]]> 2022-02-05 13:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2030640324 kyleytew https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2030641852 Today is a big day for Group B, as the matchup that will be the big game, Athrv G vs Kyle T, will occur. However, almost nothing is to be playing for if the outcome of: Athrv G vs Aayush S, results in a draw or in Aayush's favor.]]> 2022-02-05 13:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleytew/occofficial/wish/2030641852
