It's been showing 1-0 since the start of the game so nothing to worry about.

I noticed that my former county junior and university collegue Clifford Shaw, now of the Cayman Islands, is playing in the Over 65. Today he won a piece on move 8 in a rarely seen trap, but could only draw after according to the lichess Stockfish missing a couple of forced mates.

Here's the first 8 moves.

1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nf3 Bb4+ 5. c3 dxc3 6. bxc3 Be7 7. e5 Ne4 8. Qd5

8. .. Ng4 has to be played although it's not very pleasant. Most players reaching the move 8 position found it.

Ketevan drew but with Pia Cramling Keti's lead is now 1.5 with two rounds left.

Ketevan drew in round 10 so will be at least a point clear heading into the last round where she will have white. Cramling is the only player who can close to within a point of her as Klinova has just drawn.

Pia has drawn so Keti has won gold with a round to spare!
