Board 1 has concluded in six moves, just before board 3 started.
Sensible result for both players
Yes and a few hours rest for the super blitz (currently round 2 in that).

No norms gained today then but the pairings were not helpful. I mean - one would have to be a very strong GM already in order to expect to beat Ameet with Black.
Matthew has gained more rating points and is heading for 2500, which is half the battle

Marcus crossed 2500 during the event, if he plays the right sort of events he can get the norms

We seem to have quite a few decent players at the moment

Albeit Marcus had to play a 2552+ so it was all he could hope for.
