Hey everyone! It's me again. This time I'm here to discuss the first round of the Club Championship Knockout! Only 16 players have made it this far, but only one of them can be the THINK Club Champion!

I hope you enjoy!

Odds

And now, for the Round 2 predictions. These predictions are based on rating, not actual skill or performance, so anything can happen! (Also I'm honestly not sure what will happen with the people who didn't play their games in Round 1, so this only includes guaranteed matches.)

@Windrunner315 57% - @luka3916 43%
@Eman1004 40% - @DanielJarlskov 60%

... and that's it! @greedydragon and @Dark-Bi5hop do not currently have scheduled opponents due to some games not being played. We'll see how that ends up being handled soon, but there's the current predictions in the meantime!

Interview

Finally, I had a little interview with THINK Leader @Eniacknight!
Q: What is your favorite opening for each side?
A: Depends on the mood, I enjoy switching between openings.

Q: How long have you been playing chess?
A: Hmmmm... I think I have learned chess around primary school.

Q: Who is you favorite chess player/streamer, alive or dead?
A: Me, 10 years into the future.

Q: What playstyle would you say you have in chess?
A: Attacking, weird and tricky.

Q: What is your favorite hobby outside of chess?
A: Anime and role playing games. Plus bike.

Q: What are your chess goals?
A: Have fun.

Q: Share a joke with us, please!
A: I thought it was Rankrotten's job? :0

Q: Tell us three statements about yourself: 2 truths, and 1 lie. It's up to us readers to guess which one is false!
A: 1) I was a member of a chess club in high school.
2) I once played chess at the cemetery.
3) I have family in Spain.

Thanks to @Enaicknight for the interview - can anyone figure out which statement was the lie?
