Hi David, One thing I would suggest and have wanted for junior events for some time, is a couple of intensive training weekends say 2 weeks before the event. I think it's important to get everyone as close to match fitness as possible by round 1 as early results often determine what kind of tournament you will have.
Colin and John were the strongest performers but who knows what they could have done with some Dvoretsky training beforehand! As for my performance well let's just put it down to a lack of practice against strong opposition this year.
