Re: World Senior Chess Championship S50
Mark has lost to both John and Keith at this event, but could do them both a big favour if he gets a result against Sturua tomorrow. It is not impossible for all three of the ENG grandmasters to finish in the top three. Big game on board 1 tomorrow!

Re: World Senior Chess Championship S50
There is a tie-break system for any place or title in the tournaments. In order:
1. Personal encounter, provided everybody in the tie has met everybody else
2. Bucholz - 1. that is deleteing the lowest scoring opponent.
3. Bucholz.
There are further tie-breaks if necessary.
Has there ever been a World Championship where English players were on boards 1, 2 and 3?
Sveshnikov 6.5 Arkell 7
Hebden 6 Sturua 7
Nunn 6.5 Bischoff 6
Barle 6 Stepovij 5.5.

Buchholz being the tie-break otherwise known as "Sum of Opponents' Scores".

Re: World Senior Chess Championship S50
Not quite going to plan. Nunn has drawn, Hebden is lost, Arkell probably level.

Must admit I hadn't seen 46 ... Qf8. Looks like Keith has done all he could do to randomise the position.

Re: World Senior Chess Championship S50
Sveshnikov has just blundered and Keith is suddenly winning!

Re: World Senior Chess Championship S50
You would have thought 48 Nf5 was the move but Keith had stayed in the game really well.

Re: World Senior Chess Championship S50
Indeed he does - well done Keith. So what are the important pairings in the last round.
