Well, ninety minutes to go to the first round. We are all here and safely installed in a great hotel a few minutes walk from the playing halls. No pairings published yet, however...

They are under way and there seems to be quite a few British players on the live boards

Great result for Amy - a win in 19 moves against a 2300+ player who was the top seed!

Yehhhhhhh! Everyone off the mark on round 3! Looks like there are some very under graded juniors amongst our opposition?
