Bangkok Open 2016

Post by Martin Crichton » Thu Apr 14, 2016 1:40 pm

Nigel Short is having a tough time losing again this morning to IM Wynn Zaw Htun- rated 2407 (I drew with him in 2004 when he was rated 2460).

that appears to be the end of Nigel's chances of winning the tournament. He is now on 4/6 with 3 rounds to go.

Stephen Gordon is on 5/6 and well in the running...the BKK open is fast becoming one of the top tournaments in the world...it was always no.1 in my opinion for quality of venue and playing conditions.
