There are links to about 10 live games and "Chessresults.com", so you can find results.

Play starts at 2 pm, except Saturday, when it is 0930 (groan).

Three lead on 3/3, and top board is Mark Hebden vs Alexander Cherniaev, which will be keenly observed by chess fans.

3. .. Bf5 is a way of avoiding Mark's idea of forcing you to defend a Pirc.

Round 6. Mark Hebden has a difficult ending to win ( move 58) Looks like it will be a draw.
