George Neave Wrote:I confess I am struggling to follow this event. Tables are in one thread, games link in another, neither present on the link from home page. Also found another webpage somehow with player interviews. There is a lot of good material here but I can only assume this is some sort of Xmas hide and seek quiz to keep us all on our toes? Latest mystery - Clement Sreeves playing today. Did someone drop out? Did Andy Burnett know in advance? If not that would have been very funny (nice game though)!
I did know George, although I prepared for Andrew Green the evening before and only then found out it would be Clement! Had played Clement recently so didn't really need to prepare - he played 1.c4 b6!? anyway =o which I would never have expected.
Must confess that I thought I was completely winning after Ne4...will check today what, if anything, I missed. Tough tournament but very enjoyable - hopefully events like this will become the norm
Happy New Year to everyone and big thanks to David Oswald and Andy Howie in particular =)
