Even more so for those who found themselves being bumped off an overbooked flight, being put onto a flight into a different city and then having to endure their luggage going astray followed by a 4 hour coach ride plus a 2 hour wait to cross the land border between Turkey and Georgia. Still we are all here nowLawrenceCooper wrote:Especially those currently sampling an eight hour stopover in Istanbul airport

Hopefully, those affected had their flights on a single ticket from the UK so they can claim flight delay compensation under EU regulation 261/2004.Jim Wadsworth wrote:Even more so for those who found themselves being bumped off an overbooked flight, being put onto a flight into a different city and then having to endure their luggage going astray followed by a 4 hour coach ride plus a 2 hour wait to cross the land border between Turkey and Georgia.

Unless Sean patented his e2e4 chess website worldwide (I'd guess he didn't but open to correction) I'd hazard a guess and say some others have just set up another e2e4 site in another country.

Re: European Youth Championships 2014
Nice that we have so many of our best players available for this. In principle. But really, the ratings of their opponents seem lower than ever - and assuming them to be mainly under-rated, the event seems to be even more of a rating trap than ever (exacerbated by the new K-factor of 40).
And it is a further disappointment that there seem to have been three games already between English players. What do the coaches do in that situation?!
