I never mind playing juniors, as I usually beat them.

I only meant adults don't like playing juniors! So it's the second half of the sentence that applies...
Just win a pawn, they switch from having 4 pieces aimed at your king, to totally falling apart :wink:

Last junior I played at the British played a Catalan against me, I don't understand this world any longer :roll:

We're now up to 60 entrants already, which puts this event on course to be huge. I'm already trying to negotiate extra rooms!

As I suspected, this is going to be a big event. We're now at 150 entries, with 20 players graded over 200 in the Open. Having visited the hotel yesterday, the refurbishment is superb and I'm sure it's going to be a great event. I'll look forward to seeing a number of your there. I advise you to enter quickly because I'm sure we're going to sell out all the space that we have.

By being unable to e-mail Sean unable do you mean you don't have a current e-mail address or that you aren't getting a reply? Other ways of contacting him are shown here: http://www.e2e4.org.uk/contact/contact.htm
