MInd Sports International

Mind Sports International, Excel, London, 19-23 November. FIDE rated, 90 minutes per player + 30 seconds increment per move.

1...GM Keith Arkell .....2460..7.5/9
2-3 GM Mark Hebden....2527..7
2-3 GM Alex Cherniaev..2475..7
4 ..GM Tamas Fodor.....2502..6.5

Congratulations, Keith. Great result !

[Nick Burrows]

Well done Keith, you're on fire!

What's lined up next?

[Keith Arkell]

Thanks!

London Classic next, Nick. Rapidplay first, then 9 rounds classic time-control. I'm not looking forward to the rapid though - it's mega strong and my speed chess has definitely deteriated with age
