Griffiths - Hawkins, draw. You would have thought that Hawkins could have played on without any realistic chance of losing, even if he still couldn't press home his majority later.

I thought that Paul - might you must remember we are weak.

Yes, John! Hawkins (243) outgrades me by 58 points and Griffiths (215) by 30 points. And it is their game, so my half-witted bungling commentary counts for less than the proverbial fetid dingos kidney.

Aaron Summerscale battered by Short. Summerscale obviously didn't like castling queenside, so he brought his king back to the kingside...

I played through that just now. Brutal.

I thought Pert might have wanted to try and pick off Howell's pawns with Qh1, but there's probably a good reason why he didn't choose that move!

Queen sac by Gordon, winning a pawn (at least) ...

24... Kg7? Surely that can't be right, can it?

25... Qe5?? reckon Susan Lalic has blown a gasket. Surely Nxe5 Rxe5 Nb6 and goodnight, sweet Josephine? Re7 only defends temporarily as it is not possible to unpin.

As predicted.

Good game by Tom Rendle. Reckon he'll beat Adam Hunt.

Is Howell showing his class here? Is he actually making a decent attempt to win with his exposed king?

Quality by Adams. Anyone want to bet against him now? Long way to go I know...

What is going on with the live link of the official site is anyone able to get it?

Rendle - Hunt, draw? Reckon Rendle missed something. Was he in time trouble?
