British Championships at Leicester July 2023

As no one has yet posted any news, here is the progress of members so far in championship events. For Toby Cox and IM Andrew Ledger in the British Championship proper you can follow the games live here: https://www.chess.com/events/2023-british-championship/games and even look back at all the moves in previous rounds. Andrew is in = 12th position (63 entries) with 2.5/4. The leaders Michael Adams and Harry Grieve have 3.5/4. Toby had IM Jack Rudd on the ropes in Round 1 but could not knock him out (computer evaluation was +5 at one point) and eventually lost. He is currently on 1/4. Steve Ledger has 0.5/2 in the O-50 with brother Dave on 1/2. I have 1/2 in the O-65 after losing to top seed Terry Chapman in Round 1. Ramsey Dairi started his U-12 campaign today with a win. As I have posted all my games here in previous years I am hoping someone else will get going if they have had some interesting ones or some great scalps.
