Ewan Gray appears to be on boards 3 and 4. I guess 4 is correct?

Realise your busy - if you get the chance could you post scores please or picture of scores thanks
Re: Edinburgh Live Games - andyburnett - 10-04-2016
Enjoying the coverage of the live games from Edinburgh too, but as Alex says, can somebody post some scores please?
I'm sure I used to see the scores on the live board lists before [e.g. Tate (3.5) Arakhamia (3.5)] which makes it much more interesting knowing what everyone is playing for!!
Cheers,
Andy

(On a serious note, from what I could see the organisers and arbiters had their hands full all weekend. It could be worth asking around to see if any enthusiastic volunteer would be interested in providing scores, the draw, and maybe even a pic or two. I can immediately think of two who post on Facebook, there must be others as well.)
Re: Edinburgh Live Games - Alan Borwell - 11-04-2016
Yes, even simple camera shot of results and next round draw posted on facebook would be appreciated :-) Congress was very good with spacious venue, excellent catering, bookstall and free car parking available.
Re: Edinburgh Live Games - Alan Tate - 11-04-2016
That's a really simple solution. Couple of photos with a smartphone and pass on to a volunteer or post online. Would take 5 minutes tops.
Agree about the venue. I actually prefer St. Tams over Heriots (more space, no floorboards from hell) although numbers were seemingly down this year so perhaps not everyone agrees.
Re: Edinburgh Live Games - Adam Bremner - 11-04-2016
Venue was really nice, definitely numbers won't be down for that reason! Seems in general the venues for tournaments in Scotland are getting better these days.
Re: Edinburgh Live Games - George Neave - 11-04-2016
The Chess Tour folks seemed to have worked it out how to post the draw and results within minutes - not sure why Edinburgh could not emulate? For sure the viewing pleasure for the online audience is diminished without this. Seems a shame to get the technology all in place then miss this out That all being said, the allergo finish of Tate - Arakhamia fully stands up as quality entertainment all on it's own :p. Also have to wonder how well Mr Green slept last night after Black's Houdini act in same round. I doubt Neil Berry's can quite believe what happened to him in round 4 either.
