Jack beats Glen House in
Rd 3 and may well end up being in the joint lead with Daniel Abbas who is currently much better against Mark Hebden.

I glanced at the games earlier and saw that both Glenn and Jack had 1:22 left. A second later it became clear that Glenn had 1 minute 22 seconds whilst Jack had an 1 hour and 22 minutes

Ah yes, Glenn is a terrific player but clock management has never been his strongest point

I think the clock times are more a reflection of Jack's speed than Glenn being slow.

Life is good. It's a pity this tournament isn't a little bit stronger so that I would have GM norm chances, but I'm not complaining.
