The live commentary is very intermittent. Anyone know of a mirror?

Can't say I'm a fan of Gawain's position.

Jones looks lost.

Things gone a bit astray for Gawain, but looking good for Mickey

Currently looks more like Adams struggling and Gawain has much better drawing chances than a couple of moves ago

Yep, Gawain is right back in this now.

What are the time controls for the TB, btw?

Thomas Rendle · Post by **Thomas Rendle** » Tue Aug 13, 2013 2:46 pm

I think 25 10

Fritz says Adams is busted, but I fancy him to hold it.

Doubt it, 33. Bxg6 looks like it's just over to me.

Looks like Gawain might hold a good draw, but Mickey is pretty much busted.

34. Qh3 was +5, now back in the balance.

First result a win for the home hero Hammer against a player rated 100 points higher - no-one could have predicted that one

Yeah, I hadn't seen ...Qe2, definitely the best practical try. 34. Qh3 is a bit unnatural so easy to miss I guess. Let's hope he holds from here!

Unbelievable escape from Mickeym his young opponent will be kicking himself
