Correct. My point was that she was supposed to play Wednesday, get 2 days off, play Saturday and Sunday, get 2 days off, and repeat. So, there are 2 free days before the Wednesday and Saturday games, but no free days before the Sunday games. It's a little tougher to play back to back days of real consistent chess. I expect her to lose both Sunday games due to the pressure of the Saturday games (that is IF they start it up again).
