So the interview is at 10:20AM UK time? And the match kicks off at 1PM UK time?

Seems remarkable that they're playing.

That's correct yes, and absolutely.

In my opinion, both the interview and the Twitch stream are worth watching.

Kiev went on to defeat Dundee City 23-3 in Round 7 of the World 20/20 Online Chess League. Unbelievable that the Ukrainians played this match at all and it was featured on Sky News https://www.facebook.com/peter.hornsby. ... 4046016244

It is probably worth noting that also this weekend, Lviv University were unable to complete their fixture because the Captain and most of the players had gone to Kyiv to fight.

The whole thing is available on Youtube now (easier than Twitch as that deletes itself after 14 days)
