All games running smoothly.

Alex Mc. why don't you and Carl have a game on the spare
Khandelwal v Greet board and transmit the moves.

You two are doing nothing at the moment - why not have a game of Chess?

Given the time trouble, it was lucky that that period of play was almost forced.

We apologise for the late running of the bulletin. Circumstances outside our control continue to conspire against us.

Seems to be theme of the Championship so far with the technical difficulties, rain/wind stopping the simul/balloon, fire alarm going off soaking everything.

Maybe someone should go and shoot an albatross for luck?

Your wish is my command - but it may be this evening when we have a decent link.

I am "monitoring" even though I should be doing my real job, there is some minor errors on the third board being displayed but I don't think users are seeing any problems on that one
