I don’t get it. How come Konrad isn’t on the list? Did he withdraw? He did win two of the three qualifying competitions… So how does this work? And where is Ben Gale?
They’ve both already qualified for the Contenders’ Tournament. The top 4 from this Candidates’ Tournament join the top 4 from last years’ contenders’ tournament in this years’ contenders’ tournament, which is an 8-player round robin. Konrad and Ben, together with Cheng and Julius were in the top 4 at last years’ contenders’ tournament.
I see I’ve been demoted to 2-kyu on the website’s list of qualifiers. I know I don’t scare anyone, but that’s just plain mean.

Hmm – it seems you and Bob were in the table the wrong way round. But it’s been fixed now.
