I imagine there will be thousands of rugby and chess fans unsure what to do and then realising they can probably watch the rugby with a time delay.

They start at the same time presumably. But yes it’s a real dilemma, stuck here with my brand new black and white tv, and the radio batteries run out.NickFaulks wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 1:29 amWon't the rugby be over by the time the chess starts?J T Melsom wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 11:34 pmI imagine there will be thousands of rugby and chess fans unsure what to do and then realising they can probably watch the rugby with a time delay.

Ah, I see now. I was relying on Chessbomb's tournament information - really should know better by now - but it's actually one of those dreaded early starts.

I understand the reticence to comment until the fifth hour of play. But it is looking very good.

It really does. Very solid from Mickey, and Gawain seems to have spotted a trick, negating some of the technicalities of the endgame!

This is where we were against Ukraine. Couldn't happen twice!

Luke has drawn so 2-1 up with board three still in play.

I'd recommend a look at Dubov - Svane in the top match

Great result
I assume Russia - Germany will be drawn, so we'd have
Russia (12) v England (11)
Germany (11) v Ukraine (11)

Re: 22th European Team Chess Championship 2019
Given the match position, was there no way for Sargissian to play on? The other way round, I bet that Luke would have done.LawrenceCooper wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 2:30 pmLuke has drawn so 2-1 up with board three still in play.

Re: 22th European Team Chess Championship 2019
I suspect that stronger players than me would say that the position is equal, but not drawn. I've certainly seen him grind out wins albeit possibly not against anyone as strong as Luke. Maybe he made the mistake of starting to try and work out what was going on in David's game and then had no energy left for his own gameNickFaulks wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 3:09 pmGiven the match position, was there no way for Sargissian to play on?
