Robin,
I was speaking with Stewart Reuben who is the Sector Arbiter for the U-8s. He has been impressed with the level of play too.
He told me of one game which he (circa 2200) thought was a dead draw. Indeed it was agreed such. The 'losing' player then showed the opponent how the game could have been won.
We went round a game reserve with one of the Mongolian kids yesterday - a totally normal kid for his age.
