Keith did very well in this last year from what I remember, hopefully he and the others will do so this time

Thanks. I see Keith has a minority attack position. I wonder if his 2058-rated opponent is prepared for that?

[Barry Sandercock]

Probably not.

[NickFaulks]

I've played Keith only once, many years ago, and I was fully prepared to meet a minority attack. Didn't do me any good.

[Angus French]

In Keith's game: 24 Nf4 looks good to me (Black has to be careful with his queen).

[Barry Sandercock]

Keith's won already. Simon Williams well ahead on the clock with a good position.

[Barry Sandercock]

Simon's won now.

Leif Hafstad, England junior, is playing in the B.

Not too clever of me to miss a player who plays for both my J4NCL & 4NCL teams

[Barry Sandercock]

Keith and Simon both having harder games today. After three hours both games look equal,but G.M`s generally win in the endgames.

Simon William`s game has an opening variation of the Queens Gambit I have never seen before.
