I will set up the Round 5 PMs now. Round ends 26 May.

A few announcements:
1. We expect a minimum of 2 games to be completed for a valid match, otherwise you are at risk of being awarded 0 points.
2. After an excellent suggestion, I am adding the current daily ratings to the PMs. Of course please communicate to your opponents if this is not an accurate reflection of your relative strengths.
3. I will set up the Round 6 PMs overnight on Friday 24 May as I am away that weekend. Round 5 still ends on the Sunday.

Good luck!
