Its 9am for Juniors and 2pm for the main event. We were in a world of pain yesterday and it took us a good hour to get things going properly. Were better organised today (and less stressed!!)

Is the current draw going to stand despite the MacQueen-Kelly result originally being incorrect?

Think the point is: gxh3 Qh4 Bf2 Nxf4 Bxh4 Nxd3 hitting the rook and knight.... maybe!

Haven't seen that game David, going to have a look now though.
What about Pritchett v Bezuidenhout on board 16, draw agreed in the final position shown, but isn't black completely winning?

Yea Gupta's sac seemed pretty creative, especially when it looked like his position was crumbling.
Yes Pritchett is totally lost there I think! Maybe its an error? Or maybe his lowered rated opponent whimped out!?
Can't see a defense for Craig - Kf1 Rb1 Re3 Qc3! is nice
