Re: Scottish Chess Championships
Thank Carl
You just beat me to it. I wasn't sure we could set up in time as we are in a building I have never been in before and the first job we have to do is move tables.
Anyway, it all looks to be working OK after 1 hour.
Tomorrow is a double round, with the morning round being at 9:30.
Hope you all enjoy the games.

Re: Scottish Chess Championships
I can't believe Greet's hxg6 works.

Re: Scottish Chess Championships
The Scottish Championships is interesting - Round 4 has 1900s playing Gms and Ims. Actually I have enjoyed the live coverage and thanks for that. James Doyle seems to have drawn with Colin McNab yesterday and he's having a hack against Andrew Greet. Where is that Geoff Chandler when you need him.

However, he just overlooked an elementary stalemate with 62.Qf4+ - after apparently thinking for some time on that move too.

Re: Scottish Chess Championships
Yes due to the length of time he was thinking, I thought he must have seen it but was worried about what happens if Black doesn't take, though the drawing lines look fairly straightforward I can sympathise with him wanting to take a pawn. I haven't run it through a comp but I feel he should be holding after that as well somehow. Where the decisive mistake was (if indeed it was holding) I am not sure.

Re: Scottish Chess Championships
Well, nobody seems to have noticed, but Andrew Greet won the Scottish Championship.
He was undefeated on 7.5/9. Along the way he beat the two Scottish GM's competing, (including one of his bosses), and drew with the only other GM taking part.
Sadly not enough titled opponents for a norm.
