Analysis
The top two are still in the same place as before; Polychroniadis won Paris last year, Cananis the tour finals. Two players with 12k+ points in the same year is not something you see often. I still think it's likely Cananis takes the #1 after Paris ... but whether he still has it at the end of the year is questionable.
It also remains the case that Paris will likely determine the fate of Ben Faille. He inches ever-closer, but has not been able to catch Reimann just yet. And of course Ale Ballok has not completely fallen out of contention yet - but it's close. Just biding his time, hanging on by a thread.
