Mas in SloveniaSlovakia

With so many events going on the last few weeks, Mas quest for grandmaster title in Europe took a back seat. The current standings are:

IM SIMACEK Pavel 3.5
GM KRIVOSHEY Sergei 3
GM STOHL Igor 3
IM MAS Hafizulhelmi 3
IM MICHALIK Peter 2.5
IM JURCIK Marian 2.5
GM POLAK Tomas 2
FM CSIBA Dominik 2
IM HIRNEISE Tobias 1.5
FM STRUNSKI Andreas 1

However, Mas still have one game outstanding from the first round against Jurcik which has yet to be played. Theoretically he can be the leader provided he wins this postponed game.

With three points from four games and another five more to go, Mas definitely has a chance to gain his first GM norm.

I wish him all the best in the forthcoming games.
