Round 7 live games underway here: http://dl.skaksamband.is/mot/2011/MPRvi ... r7/tfd.htm including Luke on board 1, Simon on 2 and Gawain on 4.

[Thomas Rendle]

Simon had a good win yesterday - playing a weird sort of GPA and beating a 2640. Today we see Gawain playing a Dutch (although his opponent played a sideline). Good to see English opening flair on the top boards
