The BBOers September Festival started yesterday, and one of the regular highlights is the Stars & Platinum Robot Individual. It's a monthly opportunity for top players to compete in a large scale, high quality game. This month with 1138 players, it's a big one; so let's take a look at the current standings.

After the first day, Maxim Silin (bigmax) from Boston MA, has taken the lead with a very impressive 68.07%. Even as a top player, things still get in the way of bridge (a common problem unfortunately!):

I am living near Boston, MA, a part of the USA with excellent local bridge clubs. Unfortunately, my work as an industrial scientist interferes with the full-time enjoyment of bridge.

Hot on Maxim's heels in second place, is Jingsong Liu (zilon) on 68.03%, and in third is Jenna Rivet (jennakaya), on 67.91%.

The leaderboard always sees significant changes from day to day, so it'll be interesting to see how everyone fairs on day 2. Check the newsfeed tomorrow for the next update.

See the full leaderboard below.
