Re: London chess-FIDE open
Does it suffice that the invitation be printed monochromically? I mean not in color, just Black/White

The games were available as pgn files. I don't think they ever posted any annotated games other than the coverage in various magazines.soheil_hooshdaran wrote: ↑Sun Nov 19, 2017 8:41 amCan I find the annotated games for pre4vious events?

Yes. For example, http://www.londonchessclassic.com/2016/ ... deop15.htm will give you a link to download the PGN file from the 2016 event.

Re: London chess-FIDE open
They are. The backroom team at the London Chess Classic has neither the time nor the energy to annotate 100 games per round.
If you want to have a go yourself at annotating some of those games, I'm sure it would benefit your chess.

With this tournament starting tomorrow, it might be as well to remind participants of the unusual small print. By that I mean the requirement to register before 6pm today to feature in the first round pairings to be published before midnight. There's also a need to take along the ticket thing that came with the email after you entered.

Unusual for England perhaps - it happens quite a lot elsewhere.
