It seems that Alvin still some chances to win the gigantic freestyle tournament named "Freestyle Battle" played at InfinityChess server :

He is now second, Anson Williams is first... Wish him good luck for the last 2 rounds :)

Yes, excellent performance by Alvin.

Anson Williams is interesting. I can't find him on any correspondence sites. I believe he is English but I cannot find any record of an English Chess Federation or FIDE rating for him. The only type of chess he seems to play is freestyle and he seems to do very well at it. He must have a lot of natural talent because there are some strong OTB and correspondence players in that tournament.

Good luck Alvin for the last round :)

For 1/2 point at the end, is that right?

I had my chance on the penultimate (round 28). Anson was leading by 1/2 point, however, he managed to win his game while my game was a draw thus at the end of the tour he was 1 point ahead of me.
