Does Glenn Fear have some problems here? 13..Bxe2 14.Qxe2 h6 allows 15.Nxf7.

13..Bxe2 and anything else allows Qxe4-h4 and Bishop retreats allow Bc4.

Coming back to the crucial de Coverly-Mordue clash, Roger looks to be under a bit of pressure on the queenside.

Any news on the commentary? Technical issues or am I looking in the wrong place?

And I notice that Charlie Storey did not play the Sniper.

Charlie Storey hasn't been playing the Sniper for a while now, nor does he play the White Sniper

I think Black is fine after the munch munch munch munch stuff.

I thought white would better in the 'munch munch' line with Nxd8. Anyway white has gone a different way.

My mistake. Roger has drawn, a decent result given the disparity in ratings. But I'm not sure this game will bring the spectators rushing back to chess.

Judging by the comments on here I would say there are plenty of spectators - many of those not spectating are actually playing, and some might even be at work.
For the record I think I picked RdeC's game to be a draw, with most others going according to seeding.

No, I can't see it either Andrew - maybe try tomorrow

BTW, looks like Jack Rudd has scored the first win.

I am physically in the commentary room. Andrew Martin mentioned at the outset that he and Ravikumar were not broadcasting on the internet today but hoped to be doing so tomorrow.
