Some good news today as Friends of Chess have kindly offered some money which will allow me to play another Open event over here!
My game yesterday was amusing - my opponent has probably the worst opening repertoire of anyone I've seen for a long time, and used only 13 minutes for 40 moves!
Two tough draws today against 2100+ Ukrainian opposition - not ideal but I'm playing reasonably well.
