Board one (Gavin Wall v David Howell) has frozen. Is someone able to fix it? If so, thanks in advance

1st= Richard Bates, Stephen Gordon, Luke McShane 5.5/6.
Re: Kings Place Chess Festival Saturday 8th July
Congratulations to the winners.
I was hoping that the final-round game Rendle,T-Bates,R would go 1.f4... W may have later regretted not doing so, but it was an exciting Sicilian instead -

I had contacted said Director about that before I read this thread.Neill Cooper wrote:Which is likely to be County Championships Finals day, as it is the first Saturday in July, unless varied by the Director of Home Chess.
I anticipate that the Counties Championships Finals will be on Saturday 30th June.

Re: Kings Place Chess Festival Saturday 8th July
This is a very good point - I would not want to clash with the finals. Therefore if they were to be held on 7 July I would consider 14 July as an alternative date.David Sedgwick wrote:Adam Raoof wrote:ON THAT NOTE - NEXT YEAR’S DATE - is Saturday 7th July 2018 - stick that in your diary!I had contacted said Director about that before I read this thread.Neill Cooper wrote:Which is likely to be County Championships Finals day, as it is the first Saturday in July, unless varied by the Director of Home Chess.

Luke won the trophy ahead of Stephen Gordon, who had to beat Howell?

Re: Kings Place Chess Festival Saturday 8th July
Adam, thanks for arranging the live boards. I had the pleasure of watching the last 2 rounds. Was pleased to see John Merriman going well who I chatted to at Hampstead the week before.
Personally I think there are very good reasons for playing at Kings Place on 7/7/18. The 13th anniversary of the 7/7/05 terrorist atrocities. My director and the planning members were responsible for all the development in the area. For those working in Camden at that time I know that was my worst day at work ever.
ECF ought to get the final of the 17/18 County Championship into the correct grading season so ought to plump for 30th June.
Personally am looking forward to playing chess on 7/7/18 and meeting old friends at memorial services.
