An update from the tournament hall here in Radebeul...
The team are sitting on 50% after 4 rounds, having played 4 teams higher (3 of them much-higher) in the seedings!
Today saw a 2-2 draw with the Austrian team, having also drawn 2-2 with England 3 yesterday. The opening round's win was balanced by a close loss (2.5-1.5) to England 2 in round 2.
The pairings are out for round 5 tomorrow and we will face Sweden, who average 2100 rating, but could be a good chance for Scotland to take something again.
I have been allowed to play in this evening's blitz tournament, so have decided to turn my quick moral support visit into a 2-night stay!
The hotel is top-notch according to the team and the event seems to be organised very well, although there are a lot of teams and players to accommodate in the playing hall.
Further updates from the official website on the main CS homepage link.
