Peak rating wasn't 2567 either. FIDE and Wikipedia don't go back further than 2000.LawrenceCooper wrote:" Mark Hebden, aged 65"Adam Raoof wrote:I'm told that the organisers have invested in a couple of DGT boards and will be broadcasting the top two games from the Masters here;

Re: Jersey Chess Festival 2013
Due to unexpectedly high demand to watch Justin Hadi's game, we had a technical hiccup! Now fixed, though we might have to pay for extra bandwidth on the server...Barry Sandercock wrote:Is there a problem with the live games ? I'm unable to get them.

Re: Jersey Chess Festival 2013
I think Lawrence was playing in the hope of pursuing a GM norm - but as far as I can work out that's not possible even if he plays the strongest possible field.Jonathan Rogers wrote:With all due respect to the competitors, if there is a chasing field at all then it is Lawrence Trent ...Adam Raoof wrote:I'm told that the organisers have invested in a couple of DGT boards and will be broadcasting the top two games from the Masters here;

Re: Jersey Chess Festival 2013
PS a selection of photos are here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/adamraoof/
Brendan O'Gorman is taking photos and they'll appear soon
Lawrence Trent now writes a blog for chess.com
http://www.chess.com/blog/LawrenceTrent ... ing-cherry
and is going to be writing about the Festival.
Dates for 2014, provisionally, 12th March for five days
Out of interest why is this event not on the ECF calendar, when Guernsey is?

My guess would be that Guernsey made a successful application to be an ECF-graded event, and Jersey didn't.Adam Raoof wrote:Out of interest why is this event not on the ECF calendar, when Guernsey is?
