Welcome to new player All-A Benevolance. CT3* is our most agreeable player. All-B Andonishiki is our most disagreeable closely followed by Chishafuwaku and All-A Benevolance. Eleven matches have one or more X picks with a high total of 40 X's. Days 14.5 and 15 should be very interesting. Goeido's win will be helpful to Andonishiki only.

It's time to get this thing rolling! Edited March 11, 2016 by Asojima

[CT3*]

CT3* is our most agreeable player.

Not sure what that means, but I hope its good!

[Asojima]

CT3* is our most agreeable player.

Not sure what that means, but I hope its good!

It is the player whose picks have the most other players who agree with them. Statistically, it is neither good or bad.

[Profomisakari]

Hello friends!

This was a fast start into the new basho.

Akiseyama won against Kitataiki.

Only three players had this guessed: Suwihuto, All-B-picker Andonishiki and Chishafuwaku from the south-west of Europa.

After one bout decides the row of the postings as the second tiebreakers, so is this the row of the leaders.

All others follow with a zero number.

So we must no post the table.

Tomorrow we will have two bouts.

After five days without any game 21 bouts today was (only) one bout.

Seven players had him "X" picked, among them the until today leading Gurowake.

But the bout took place!

So have we a new leader: Achiyama per tiebreaker before Fujisan and CT3*.

But there are 13 open bouts and especially the many X picks let the game be totally open.

Tomorrow we have again only one bout.

Chess picks doesnot work this basho :-S

[Profomisakari]

I see what you tried.

But the knight's move is made for the horse in chess, not for game 21.

It could also turn out to be a catch 22.

On day 12 only 9 bouts! Thats record!

Today's one bout did no much change in the ranking.

The same leaders group with Achiyama as best per second (!) tiebreaker.

And Peeter has as ever only one point!

Tomorrow will again only one bout be!

But the last day makes much hope.

After 13 days we have only nine bout - and tomorrow we'll again have no game 21 bout!

But tomorrow we'll get the decision about many possible X bouts.

And many bouts, especially in the upper region will be on Senshuraku.

Toda's bout brought us a new leader, because the whole leaders group had voted for Takarafuji.

From the pursuers had only Chisaiyama voted for Kotoyuki.

And Peeter has now two points.

But I think, next two days will totally scramble the ranking.

Let us see, which corrections tomorrow's 5 bouts bring!

But as it looks now, we have a very clear favorite for the final win.

I am sorry to say, but I don't like the "X"option in this game. I never use X.

It turns 21 from a game to predict who will win a definite bout to a game to predict which bout won't happen.

The concept is totally changed.

The result of all this for me personally is going from #2 to #15, and who knows when I'll end up after Senshuraku.

The demolition effect of this system will make me reconsider my future participation in 21 game. And this was one of my favorite games and I had one of my earliest Yusho, if not the first one.

These are just my thoughts.
