Take a bit to knock Hebden off his perch I would say Dave although it's quite strong again this year!

Howell must be a bit of an unknown at this speed of play?

Is there a full list of the stars playing?

Will be very interesting to see how Howell does

Keith Arkell was pretty determined on Thursday night to win this weekend, so I wouldn't bet against him

Does look like he is going to win since clearly the speed issue isn't a problem

Plus his age does not give a clear reflection on his grade - watch this space (and live games...) to decide :!:

Looks a bit of a massacre to be honest...

1) David played fryed liver? , 2 he took on c6?!??!?! I refuse to believe the colours were wrong here. I think the result was 0-1 and david was black, thats my view, on grounds that Bd3 is the move you play I believe.
