| Movement One of the old French Army generals, #16 Paul Maes, decided to return after several years in exile. His first task was to raid his favourite Castle for 2 new PRs, and then battle in the Colosseum for two more. Paul passed ex-champ #17 Jonathan Steel, but remains the 5th ranked Frenchman. The fourth of the lot above him, #14 Tristan Eyma, is 1.6 AF pts ahead. #65 Ivo van der Stap also considered a comeback. He started with playing WS, no doubt trying out various Borijn tricks, and made 2 big PRs. He wants to sub 1'40, so he says he'll keep playing. Ivo was last active 6 months ago. Near the top-150, #151 Dan Walker passed three players. #184 Paulo Roberto Presotto is distant -- about 30 places back -- but sort of in sight because he reached Expert A level, same as Dan. Paulo moves up 16 spots, breaking into the top-200. Liam Stanton is closing in on that same barrier, passing 6 players to reach #204. Outside the top-200, Ben Davis continues to fulfill his promises of PRing and ignoring MKWii. He made a 21pt AF cut. Two fellow Americans around him, #223 Vincent Chen and #232 Ian Gee, reactivated themselves and raced some PRs. Ben and Ian reached Expert B this week, but Ben appears to be more active and may leave Vince and Ian behind next week. Instead, #243 Joost Coenen will keep them company. The Dutch player moved up 10 places to break into the top-250. Recent addition #463 Bram Reitsma had reached the top-500 a few weeks ago. Being a Dutchie, we're just waiting for him to catch the PR virus. This week's 33pt AF cut was a little less than his 55pt cut when Alvin was newsreading. New Records No new records.
