Impressive, how he and Gawain have come back in this tough event.

Ah, the commentators! I went looking for that on the website...
Though I did end up finding this excellent article:

On Magnus Carlsen and Jon Ludwig Hammer winning the pub quiz. See if you can guess what their team name was...

Well done Dan! He joined Redhill Chess Club aged about nine and we thought he was a promising player, especially when his grade went from 106 to 161 in a couple of years. He very sensibly concentrated on education later, and thus neglected chess, but it's great to see him now closing in on the IM title.
