Another fine win from Craig today - fascinating to watch! Tomorrow he meets his old foe GM Vasiukov from Russia. In 2011, Craig won on top board in European Seniors Team Championship with a memorable Sicilian and in 2013, their game was drawn in the European Seniors Individual. They play tomorrow on Live Board 3. Ian Marks had another good result today with a draw with Black against Austrian friend Klaus Nickl to reach 4.5/9 with prospects of a good increase in his FIDE rating - he next will face Russian FM Stanislav Zhelesny. Philip had an early draw whilst Douglas eventually lost in what must have been a long game against Russian Yakimenko.
