Good luck to all the English players in Paracin.

Unfortunately the tournament has started about a week too soon for Matthew Wadsworth to have been able to play as an IM.

Wins for Justin, Matthew, Joseph, Marcus, and also Carl Strugnell (apologies, hadn't spotted him earlier). Draw for James and a loss for Sam. Round 2 tomorrow at 0830 UK, round 3 at 15.30 UK also tomorrow. No doubt the lads will all be early to bed given early round time and double round day.....

McPhillips (3.5) is White on board 2 against top seeded GM Ivan Ivanisevic (3.5) in round 5

Joe drew that one, good result, and followed it with a draw against an FM; he then lost to a 2400+ FM

Ivanisevic is joint leader

[Jonathan Rogers]

two all-Brit/IRL pairings in the last round, in case any of them want to finish early.

[Mick Norris]

Joe won to finish 8th which as 29th seed is a good result; he seems to be playing very well at the moment

Ivanisevic won

[Jim Wadsworth]

Great result for Joe (6.5/ 9), and good tournament also for Marcus (6). The guys fly home tomorrow.
