Our two representatives have done superbly in this tough tournament. Craig will play Mishuchkov tomorrow with Black - he is a strong FM but Craig is playing well, especially with Black and it will be good to watch this game on the live boards. In the 2011 Euro Seniors Team Championship, we played the Russians when Craig had a fine win on top board with Black against GM Vasiukov. He beat Mishuchkov in superb style in Dresden 2010. Philip had an interesting game today (shown live) against GM opponent but ran short of time and lost his first game, but he has a chance to bounce back tomorrow in last round against lower rated Russian opposition.
As George has said, both Craig and Philip have done Scotland proud and deserve all of our congratulations :-)
