Victor’s first match tomorrow will be against a 1-kyu from Venezuela. His opponent was one of only 3 players to score an upset in the tournament so far, defeating the Costa Rican representative, a 2-dan, in the first round. Despite that, Victor should have no trouble dealing with him.
Unfortunately for Victor, this pairing means that his SOS is likely to be even further damaged, with his opponent seeded 63rd. As such, it is probable that if Victor finishes with 6 or 7 wins, he will have the lowest SOS among the players with the same score (i.e. he would place last on the tiebreaker).
