Icc will be covering the live games from the British chess championship. so get ready to kibitz away.

HOW MANY BOARDS?

Lyon(*): The Top Boards. Probably 4-5 boards per round. If we get requests for a particular game/player, and his game is being relayed on the official website, we might as well relay that one, though.
Peleus: Can you relay
(told Lyon, who is busy or away from the keyboard. Please leave a message or type: /showadmin for an admin on duty)
Peleus: S Hegarty

Not sure, as usual I am hosting with Dave Clayton on site doing all the hard work - he will be able to answer your question?

just hope they get it right at round 1 this year as in previous years round 1 been a nightmare with connection problems.

To be honest the DGT equipment is a complete pig to setup - so a lot depends on how much time is allowed on site before round one begins

Most tourns do top 15-20 now. Surely the Biritsh must follow suit.

Can I propose a vote of thanks to Carl hibbard and Dave Clayton for organising these games being transmitted online. I'm looking forward to watching some of them. I really appreciate all your hard work.

Appreciated thanks, not sure if that is the full list - Andy Howie and Stephen Connor will also be involved

Too deep for me that one?

It looks like they are testing with the rapidplay at the moment, luckily I can watch...

If "we" are doing that then it's just an ICC call to make...

icc will not be covering the under 16s tommrow just the british championship games.

Andy Howie and I have spent today setting up and we we ran the last two rounds of the quick play on the sensory boards.

Currently we have 3 seperate displays, boards 1-5, 6-10 and 11-19. We may be able to increase this, but some of the boards are failing to pick up some pieces.

We hope to be out live on the U16's in the morning.

Cheers

Dave
