Paul back at the British

Two disastrous knight moves at 21 and 22 caused my very rapid downfall in Round 1 of the 0-65s. Even the thought of a ‘Swiss Gambit’ doesn’t cheer me much.

Big stars missing from the main championship, even though the whole congress was started later to let them return from the Olympiad in Chennai. Nick Pert top seed, but only Danny Gormally on 3/3.

Lots of games on the live feed from the tournament website, even all the Seniors on ‘smart’ boards.
