  1. "Good afternoon Giovanniland! It's been three days since our last Chess Report, which means we are just starting another one today, in order to cover Matchday 3 of the Giovannilandian Chess Championship. I am your host Vanessa Desniana, and together with my colleague Karlo Nakamura-Edrense, I'll present the match results and group standings for the games that happened during June 23rd and 24th." Group A Group B Group C GM Gianna Superbo-Legia, 2669 0-1 CM Artorio de Silva, 2421 GM Antonio Ambrosio Borba, 2557 1-0 Gabriella Ambroso, 2277 IM Gratia Frigiva-Lukio, 2483 1/2-1/2 Amanda Gilvano de Valle, 2301 GM Sergio Amorante-Aquilano, 2701 1-0 CM Lukia Aquilano-Severino, 2415 GM Gustavo Takeda, 2601 1-0 Vanessa Gravanda-Edrense, 2243 IM Markia Allamore, 2505 1-0 CM Lorentia Gavione, 2376 GM Karlo Neurine-Sousa, 2675 1/2-1/2 CM Serena Agrikola, 2393 GM Giulietta Quintana-Altada, 2576 1/2-1/2 Giordano Ilveno-Ferage, 2178 IM Gioseppa Saliflumo, 2479 1-0 Vittore Urbano-Allamore, 2311 Group D Group E Group F GM Lavinia Pasquale-Arbone, 2753 1-0 CM Flavia Altokastro, 2391 GM Guillermo Uryde-Amorino, 2541 1-0 Elvidio Violetto Prasino, 2251 IM Gepelle Gormo-Pasano, 2487 0-1 Amando Nevio-Karpo, 2296 GM Giovanni Amdo-Gyatso, 2678 1-0 CM Basso Purpurio-Urbolina, 2400 GM Severo Spindola Giordano, 2622 1/2-1/2 Felige Numeriana-Velio, 2222 IM Filippo Ottaviano, 2494 0-1 CM Tommaso Koliva, 2354 GM Raffella Quadrigaro, 2787 1-0 IM Pietro Maldonato-Violetto, 2443 GM Giuliana Flaviano-Emina, 2636 1-0 Sebastiana Glendora, 2255 IM Aurelio Vindemia Orfeo, 2520 1/2-1/2 CM Tiberio Serano-Bruttia, 2355 Vanessa started commenting on the results: "Matchday 3 saw a higher amount of wins and a lower amount of draws compared to the previous two matchdays. No group had its matches only result in draws, while Groups B and D did have all of their matches result in wins for either side. Starting with Group F—this group saw two wins and one draw, which went fairly as expected if we take a look at ratings, with the two grandmasters reaffirming their strong position in the group by winning their matches. However, Group E saw some upsets today, such as the draw between Grandmaster Severo Spindola Giordano and Felige Numeriana-Velio, with a difference of 400 points between their ratings. Furthermore, still in the same group, the lower-rated Tommaso Koliva was able to defeat Filippo Ottaviano. Going on to Group E, this was one of the two groups to not have any draws as I said earlier. Matches went mostly as predicted, except for the upset when Amando Nevio-Karpo defeated the higher-rated Gepelle Gormo-Pasano." She stopped for a while and then continued: "Meanwhile, Group C was also full of upsets today just like Group E. Both grandmasters of the group, Karlo Neurine-Sousa and Giulietta Quintana-Altada, were not able to win against their lower-rated opponents, instead only managing to draw. Finally, Group A saw a match called by some as the biggest upset of the tournament so far—Grandmaster Gianna Superbo-Legia's defeat against Candidate Master Artorio de Silva, with a difference of 248 points, beating the previously biggest upset. Today's match was surprising because Gianna could not win in either game that composes a tournament match, meaning that she lost both with white and black pieces. Finally, all matches in Group B went as expected, so there's not really much to comment. My colleague will now present the updated rankings!" Group A P W D L Group B P W D L Group C P W D L CM Artorio de Silva 2 1/2 2 1 0 GM Gustavo Takeda 3 3 0 0 GM Karlo Neurine-Sousa 2 1/2 2 1 0 GM Antonio Ambrosio Borba 2 1 2 0 GM Sergio Amorante-Aquilano 2 1/2 2 1 0 GM Giulietta Quintana-Altada 2 1 2 0 GM Gianna Superbo-Legia 1 1/2 1 1 1 CM Lukia Aquilano-Severino 1 1/2 1 1 1 IM Gioseppa Saliflumo 2 1 2 0 IM Gratia Frigiva-Lukio 1 1/2 0 3 0 IM Markia Allamore 1 1 0 2 CM Serena Agrikola 1 1/2 0 3 0 Amanda Gilvano de Valle 1 0 2 1 CM Lorentia Gavione 1/2 0 1 2 Giordano Ilveno-Ferage 1 0 2 1 Gabriella Ambroso 1/2 0 1 2 Vanessa Gravanda-Edrense 1/2 0 1 2 Vittore Urbano-Allamore 0 0 0 3 Group D P W D L Group E P W D L Group F P W D L GM Lavinia Pasquale-Arbone 2 1/2 2 1 0 GM Giovanni Amdo-Gyatso 2 1/2 2 1 0 GM Raffella Quadrigaro 3 3 0 0 Amando Nevio-Karpo 2 2 0 1 CM Tommaso Koliva 2 1 2 0 GM Giuliana Flaviano-Emina 2 1 2 0 GM Guillermo Uryde-Amorino 2 2 0 1 GM Severo Spindola Giordano 1 1/2 0 3 0 IM Pietro Maldonato-Violetto 1 1/2 1 1 1 Elvidio Violetto Prasino 1 1/2 1 1 1 IM Filippo Ottaviano 1 0 2 1 IM Aurelio Vindemia Orfeo 1 1/2 0 3 0 IM Gepelle Gormo-Pasano 1 1 0 2 CM Basso Purpurio-Urbolina 1 0 2 1 CM Tiberio Serano-Bruttia 1 0 2 1 CM Flavia Altokastro 0 0 0 3 Felige Numeriana-Velio 1 0 2 1 Sebastiana Glendora 0 0 0 3 Karlo started speaking as the rankings appeared in the screen: "One more matchday has passed, and we can see the bigger picture unfolding! Reminding everyone, in this Giovannilandian Chess Championship the top two of each group and the four best 3rd-placed players advance to the knock-out stage. In Group A, the four top players seem still capable of entering the knockout phase if things go well for them, but Amanda Gilvano de Valle and Gabriella Ambroso are trailing behind and must fight back if they want to advance. As for Group B, Gustavo Takeda has built a clear lead and has almost surely guaranteed a spot in the next phase, but not much can be said for the rest, as only one point separates the 3rd player from the last." He sipped a cup of coffee before continuing: "In Group C we can see five of the six players still aiming for the coveted spots, but Vittore Urbano-Allamore has been all but eliminated, not even able to fight for a 3rd place spot, because the currently 3rd-placed player Gioseppa Saliflumo has a better win rate. The same can be said for Sebastiana Glendora and Candidate Master Flavia Altokastro in Groups F and D respectively, groups in which the other players have close point differences and still have fair chances. Finally, for Group E, it seems that every player could still qualify, although some must hope that their possible 3rd-place ranking is better than in other groups. This happens due to the highest rate of drawn matches out of any group of the tournament, only three out of nine matches haven't resulted in draws. But that's all for today, our chess players will play the Matchday 4 during the weekend so stay tuned for the next report edition after that!"
