We’re midway through the Equinox Swiss, currently in round 3 of 5, and the competition is fiercer than ever. Ed Kline is leading the pack with a perfect score of 3 points, setting the stage for a highly anticipated match against Tariq next week. This showdown is not to be missed as Ed edges closer to breaking the 2,000 rating mark once again, showcasing his skill and dedication.
