Thanks for posting Leonard. Great result for Nigel, who for once wasn't top seed.

Also worth keeping an eye on is the Andorra Open, now in progress. There is a link at TWIC and the top 4 boards are shown live. David Norwood, now a resident of Andorra I believe, is currently on 4/4. Lawrence Trent, chasing a GM norm no doubt, is on 3/3 with one result outstanding.

19(!) Scottish players. That's far more than would play in the British Championship or Major Open at the British Championship Congress in recent years.
