Ravi is currently winning (-6.38). If he converts, will this clinch his GM title?

Re: 2021 World Cup

So what is the point of testing if a negative is met with "you might have it anyway, so you're out"? To me, the real point is that both of the female players said they felt unwell, so not playing was a sensible decision. The tweet states that they both felt well, not unwell. By the way, Ravi is +4 ...

I see Fernandez lost rather quickly, although they played a lot of moves, to Rocco who seems to be having a good tournament.
Federico is one of Hendon/Barnet Knights' talented juniors. He's currently the London U18 & U21 champion.

Yes, this was a fantastic event - superbly run, and I would highly recommend it to any schools thinking about entering.

Many thanks to the organisers and to St.Catherine's for a great day.

Yeah I thought of that, but no tab character.
Inside Notepad, I copy and paste the first tab character from the pasted text (from Chess Results) into the find and replace window, and that works ok for me.

I was about to post the women's pairings - is there any way of doing it without it taking about a thousand years cutting out all the gaps?
Speed it up by first pasting the text into a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and replacing the 'tab' character with a single space.
