I did thanks Mick, though I picked up a bug during the minus 15 temperatures in Katowice beforehand, derailing my plans of doing Hastings.Mick Norris wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 9:07 pmhe needs to find his own favourite moveKeith Arkell wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 7:51 pmI knew it was a mistake telling him that g4 is my favourite move.

Lalic - Hebden looked an unkind pairing in round 3, but it seems to be right. Black players on 11 and 12 swap as Petrov has already played the higher rated of the pair.

Don't know who Mr Waldhausen is, but he does have a 2069 elo rating and he played on today against a 1472 (presumably a kid), until he was mated with Q and K against K. I can't imagine what the reason might be for that.
