Ta. So if I get set around 10 am your time I shouldn't miss anything.

The results sheet failed to show Stephanie du toit as a female, so she won the u10 girls championship instead of Anita

Thanks for this spot! I've amended the article accordingly

I've noticed there's been a few incorrect gender assignments, but this one slipped my radar I'm afraid!

I think that in future years, play-offs should begin at a given time. You can't really advise people to come and watch online "after the prizegiving" - they're going to want to know when.

he probably wants to get his head together before the next game now, as I doubt there is much of a break before the second game?

yes, I thought Jones was doing ok, since bg5-b2 was illegal. I guess he is too shocked to resign

That was unexpected. All Stephen needs to do now is find a gap in the position without allowing too much counterplay.
Lose one queen and it is a disaster, Lose 1000 queens and it is just a statistic.
