"I expect Keith must have pretty much wrapped it up already. Did he stay up all night then? When, oh when, will he act his age? "

"Can we make him keep playing until you score something against him? "

Clearly not, now 0-18, but he was struggling in one of them! I'm beginning to think he's better than me... Fantastic score by Keith in the event though, 728 points (from 248 games!), when nobody else beat 400.

And I have to report a possible TN in the Morra, After 1.e4 c5, 2.d4 I mouseslipped with 2....c4, leaving me a pawn down with no centre whatsoever, but still won. However, I doubt it's worth doing deliberately.
