Since no tie-breaker is needed,will all schedule be advanced one day?
I don’t thinks so… They will have probably day off
I think they will just have a rest day.

Cramling deserves the achievements so far. She will be in the final.
Cramling really enjoys playing chess and puts her reputation and rating on the line year after year.
This is the sort of chess start you can really respect.
Why doesn’t Cramling have anyone with her? No coach and no second not even a relative, that’s pretty sad.
