Thanks Hamish, don't expect it to happen every event, it will depend on number of games to be able to publish them this quickly.
And we were fortunate that the entrants, for the most part, produced score sheets that could be read and mostly accurate, which makes a change.
One of the most common errors being not defining which of 2 knights or 2 rooks can move to a common square.
