11 Bxe5 mate looks like a careless move on the live boards.
John Pearston you could have played
11 dxe5+ Kc5
12 Na4+ Kd4
13 0-0-0 mate
a beautiful finish
Re: Ayr Congress - Andy McCulloch - 27-05-2013
Still a few problems with the live boards perhaps? At present rounds 3, 4 and 5 are all showing round 4, and the games are very incomplete.
Re: Ayr Congress - Andy Howie - 27-05-2013
Hi Andy,
Just checked and I am seeing games from 1-4. Can you try a link and hit control f5 to clear your cache. I will have the round 5 games up when I have worked out the pairings. I could not get my work laptop to connect so had to pull the games as they finished. Was entirely my fault
Re: Ayr Congress - Andy McCulloch - 28-05-2013
Sorry Andy, still not working for me.
Now, no matter how many times I try control f5, I get what would appear to be round 3 for rounds 3, 4 and 5. Not only that, but board 1 shows Clement Sreeves losing, which is also wrong.
Re: Ayr Congress - Andy Howie - 28-05-2013
Not sure why that is happening. Is anyone else getting this problem?

The links have been put in two areas: on the home page news under "Live games from Ayr"; and also at the start of this thread. The latter links look more correct.
Re: Ayr Congress - Andy McCulloch - 28-05-2013
That makes some sense. I was looking at the link to live games from the CS home page. Rounds 3, 4 and 5 are identical, really round 3 with the Sreeves result wrong. This is still the case, despite numerous refreshes.
Going to the forum link gives different results. This shows rounds 1 to 4 with what I recall as the correct results, but no round 5.
Before anyone comments, I have been unable to get to sleep.
Re: Ayr Congress - Andy Howie - 28-05-2013
That explains my confusion. How on earth did I manage to do that???

Hello Phil,
I do not understand your comment.
I feel insulted by your comment when I would have expected praise for finishing in one move.
Why does Bxe5 Mate look careless.
It wins in one move.
John.

John,
because you had a chance to play 13 castles long checkmate on a live board.
And Castling to give checkmate is incredibly rare especially after so few moves.
Does anyone out there know of know of an actual game where castles delivering checkmate happened as early as move 13 ?
