God stops play at the e2e4 Brighton International

[Sean Hewitt]

Play was suspended for 10 minutes this morning when a local church group meeting in the hotel started singing and praising The Lord with the aid of a rather loud PA system.

Play was stopped whilst the hotel staff moved the church group elsewhere.

Gibraltar may have to deal with the local power generating authority but here we have to contend with The Authority!

[John Sargent]

Can you confirm it was indeed a church group and not a gathering of Zhou Yang-Fan's seconds and supporters? What a tournament he's had!!
