Looking at the webcam - has Simon's banana been there since the start of the session? If so it's held out rather longer than a couple of titled players....

A delay in updates on boards 1-6 for some reason, notified IT on site

14-16 died some time ago though.

The banana still looking untroubled. Grace under pressure.

I suspect Salembeni - Mason was a win for white and Qd1 was resetting the pieces. Either that or there had been a mistake earlier, there wasn't a queen fork, and now the board has got confused
True glory lies in doing what deserves to be written; in writing what deserves to be read.

On site it appears...

You would have to commit seppuku if you used the DGT software for a couple of weeks on site

I presume Ste G won, as Fritz is saying he is +4 in the final position

Are the Major Open Rd 1 results correct? On boards 1-14, the seeded players scored 5 draws and nine losses :shock:

Bob,
I don't think Ne3 work because White does not need to exchange the dark squared Bishops. I expected 43....h4 when of course White has an advantage, but it will be hard work.

My result on board 12 is incorrect as I WON - but they got it right for today's pairings. In all the others the seeded player drew or won.
