| 22 February 2010: "Kouider pushes the pedal down again" |
|---|
| Movement #5 Kouider Benarioua had a killer week, scoring 7 strong PRs (of which 6 were gods). He was very close to Marijn last week and passed him this week with his 0.5 AF pt cut. He also closed the gap to reaching Andreas to just 0.06, so another PR might be enough to move up yet another position! Another PR might also be just enough to reach the ARR summit: Kouider made a 0.163 cut to lower his ARR to 0.009, so he is tip-toeing on the god line. He should become the sixth player to reach God status... any day now. #16 David Schiering passed Alex Hantson, slipping into the sweet-sixteen behind Tristan Eyma and Bo Garman. Only 0.5 AF pts keeps David away from taking Tristan's 15th place. David could probably do that in 1-2 weeks, but the next German target, #12 Marius Mollenhauer, is further away and a long-term target. David's three PRs included a MCT lap that was G+5 and in the top-10, making it his Dave's new best time. #22 Christian Wild, not too far from David, passed Marc Schwartz on the combined chart and tied Jean-Christophe on the 60Hz chart (both are 13th place). #314 McHenry Calrson passed 18 players to shift closer to the next round barrier. In 60Hz, he moved down to 233rd from last week's 250th place, making sure that he won't be falling outside the top-250 anytime soon. McHenry was very close last week to leaving the Advanced ranks behind, and this week's 0.34 cut in ARR sealed it and promoted him to Expert D. New Records No new records. New Players Welcome to...
