Thanks MIke
We had a draw for Robert yesterday but losses for Stuart, Andrew and KIrsty. All 4 played for around 3 hours. Kirsty is struggling badly with her end game - every game she has played has been for over 2 and a half hours and her game seems to be even until the end game where she makes a blunder. Andrew just cannot get a win and he was really dispirited yesterday. A big thank you to Andrew Green for speaking with Andrew last night and for helping him regain some confidence. Not being a chess player I can't really comment on the games themselves.
It's another hot hot day here. The kids have finished their prep (thanks again Derek) and are relaxing with the 3 lads from the Welsh delegation. Once again they are all upbeat about their games today........fingers crossed =)
