The first round of the Stellenbosch Handicap has been completed, with three of the 13 players obtaining promotions from their games. Since ranks are “fixed” for handicap tournaments, players promoted during the tournament are usually the ones in the running for the top positions.
Two of the promoted players, Wim (24k) and Andre (28k), will be playing each other in the second round. The other promoted player was Hanno (16k), who will be playing Louis. Jaco unfortunately lost against David by time (they had opted to play with a clock). Handicaps in the second round, which officially takes place on 2 March, range from 2 to 4.
First round results and secound round pairings are available.
