Re: British Championship 2023

Might we see another draw offer from Mickey soon? Fernandez is getting thumped. Could be an incredible norm (and outright 2nd!) for Jones after all.

Re: The Chess Pit Podcast

After a false start to Episode 59 we mark International Women's Day by celebrating Koneru Humpy and Vera Menchik while bemoaning the lack of equivalent opportunities for contemporary British female players. Otherwise, Jon is svelte, Phil is triumphant, and Chris is silent.
