Is anyone in with a chance for an IM norm ?
There are five IMs and I looked up when they got their titles

Hi Andy,
I've changed computer and cannot at the moment log in to the forum as I cannot remember my password.
In answer to your question, yesterday's draws killed off everyone's norm chances. We had 4 or 5 players needing 2/2 to achieve a norm (unfortunately with the field it was always going to be 7/9 that was needed realistically).Whilst Murad can still get to 7 he would need to play a 2402 opponent in the last round.
