Hello everyone) today I looked through the top 100 prize-winners in the marathon, and surprisingly saw what I didn’t even think to see. the masters got places in the top 100 not deservedly, or there is some explanation why they are there)) I would read. Interestingly, these are only privileges for masters, or any player can buy a place in the top 100, maybe this is a program crash))) I'm very interested in how it turns out)
judge for yourself
ibb.co/fC5tS1dNo, there are no privileges for masters. The incorrect standings come from the fact that some people got marked for computer assistance _after_ the tournament, and this affects the pairing list and scores of the cheater's opponents. The rankings, however, would have to be re-calculated on the server and this does not happen at the moment. (They only get re-calculated if the tournament is still ongoing.)
In this case, the IMs had faced (and won against) a player that got marked for using computer assistance after the Marathon.
Only 2 players who started with below 2000 ratings finished top 100 i think thats impressive of them cos if you saw the starting lineup the 100 players were above 2200+
