Would love to know how the Women got on against Russia...
Lots of technical issues today it looks like

I will hopefully have a round 1 report up soon on the home page. For now....
Round 2 Open Scotland vs USA!!! (Today Nakamura was board 1 but possible that Caruana will take over tomorrow!) http://chess-results.com/tnr232875.aspx?...=30&wi=821 Round 2 Women Scotland vs Zimbabwe ( A slightly less-daunting task than the one they faced today) http://chess-results.com/tnr232876.aspx?...=30&wi=821

Great rd 2 ties ... for differing but equally motivating standpoints. Go for it ... both teams!

Round 3 Open
Scotland vs Ivory Coast -a strange pairing given our score, but it transpires that Ivory Coast's 1st round opponents Mexico got their dates wrong and appeared to day instead! The 4-0 default puts Ivory Coast a lot higher up the draw than they might have expected. http://chess-results.com/tnr232875.aspx?...=30&wi=821 Round 3 Women Scotland vs Norway -A toughie against an experienced Norwegian squad - another good test for our women! http://chess-results.com/tnr232876.aspx?...=30&wi=821

The live feed from the official site and chess24 has slowed to a crawl and now has completely gone. Andy, can you ask them to put a Qapec in the meter!?

Round 4 Open
Scotland vs Turkey A tough reward for our victory today - but that's exactly why the boys are here: to test themselves against strong opposition! http://chess-results.com/tnr232875.aspx?...=30&wi=821 Round 4 Women Scotland vs Trinidad & Tobago Another part of the whole Olympiad experience is meeting teams from far-flung nations, and the girls are on to their 3rd continent in 4 rounds! http://chess-results.com/tnr232876.aspx?...=30&wi=821

Looks like Ali is going for the kill!
