Candidates Thread

Since many of you might think that I am trolling again, disclaimer -- this is not a troll

With a huge help from JannLee, all the differences have been resolved, and I'll be playing my first match soon. I apologize to all the participants for the delayed start, hope it doesn't affect the results of the tournament.

Fumitoks -- opperwezen, Saturday, October 13th, 12pm GMT (noon)
woahhh!!! Jann is the man, kudos to you both! Good luck!
Great to have you back in Fumitoks! Look forward to streaming this very interesting match up live.

To our close community, please continue supporting this great CWC event by showing up to watch the games! A reminder that if you would like to contribute directly to the candidates, you can donate to the Candidates Appreciation Fund on my twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/jannleecrazyhouse

To date, the community has raised $375 out of the $1111 target. Meeting the target will provide $101 to each of the 11 candidates to acknowledge all their preparation and dedication that has gone into the completion of this very competitive round robin stage.

See you at the next stream!

Great news! Another 10 high level matches to watch! One more obstacle for @opperwezen to pass, so the Candidates competition becomes open again!

What about the match played vs @gsvc? Was it just a friendly one or it's counted in competition?
Gsvc was told it counted although he wasn't 100% sure Fumi wasn't trolling and he won it fairly. Despite both playing troll openings I think it was a quality match. So gsvc is now on 8.5/10. Opper needs 1.5/3 to catch him.
I've been informed that the gsvc vs Fumitoks games played a few weeks ago were only friendly matches.

Fumitoks vs opperwezen is the first officially scheduled candidates match for Fumitoks.
I also understood my games with fumitoks were friendly, since he was not in the candidates when the match was played. I will schedule the official one after I get back from my tournaments.
