Pretty grim after white re-takes with the f pawn though I should think.

Or alternatively just roll over and wave his paws in the air like this, of course. Am I going mad? 24...gxf6 25 Qg4+ Kh8 26 Rg3 Qxg3 was possible, wasn't it? No-one's dream, but Black might yet be quite hard to break down.

Given that he now has to resign, he probably should have done...

Nf5 must be tricky to cope with in Mason / Wells

Qxc5+ followed by dxe6, and pray you haven't missed something? That's what I'd do anyway :)

White will play the Zwisch Nh6+ though I should think

Wells and Ghasi's time trouble would give me heart failure...

Yeah, that's what I'd missed, looks good for White. Don't see any other defence though.

Incidentally, the ECF's own RdC is doing pretty good so far.

Peter will be far better in the time trouble than Don though and the position is quite complex.

Told you! And Longson is fighting hard against Hawkins - surely he must be able to hold this, no?
