Andy,
That was much better in round 2, feed only failing near the end of play when both sides short of time. Some good games already,
Robin.

Fantastic to see the live boards in use at this event. Forget the Tal Memorial, this is where the real chess is! 8)

Really enjoying the live games. There was a cute win that black missed in Shafi-Ramazanov round 5. 19...Ra8! 20. Bxa8 Rxa8 21. Qd4+ e5! and there is no way to stop mate on a1 without losing the queen. Or 21. c3 b3! 22. Qd4+ e5! and the same trick again. Very refreshing to see main lines being played in nearly all the rounds.

Andrew,
There is hope for us yet! Just back from Culzean and both Paul, Declan's father and myself had spotted it,
Robin.
