Andy Howie has a copy of all the games and they should appear soon.

Can I thank everyone who turned up to play or spectate.

Both visitors, especially ECU President Danailov, were impressed by Edinburgh Chess Club. There was one criticism was that it is not promoted enough! They both went to their hotel but came back for another brief visit before having a meal and a whisky tasting session!

I think my favourite moment was when someone (It was either David, Neil or Geoff) pointed out to GM Topalov that he had just played in the same club and signed in the same visitor book as Capablanca et al (they even showed him the signatures). He was literally speechless Big Grin

I took them with me to enter at the weekend. I have been entering them this morning and have 7 of the games entered. I can't make sense of 2 of them. Aiming to have them done today / tomorrow
