I wonder if the news that Sue Maroroa, Gawain's wife being denied a spousal Visa might have had something to do with his lacklustre showing. Vietnam will be a tricky fixture, it will be interesting to see what team selection will be made.

[Christopher Kreuzer]

Vietnam. Tough, but winnable.

Care to make a prediction this time, Paul?

[Matt Mackenzie]

Nice to see Corke get an excellent win, though

[Jonathan Rogers]

Nice to see Corke get an excellent win, though

Indeed, to be provocative for a moment, then - excluding just Short - Corke's result today appears to be the second best individual result of all our players so far ...

England v Czech Republic

[Christopher Kreuzer]

The Czechs are clearly too good for us and will win easily.

All joking aside, this time you could be right! Though I hope England do manage to win.

I see from the official website that the Turkish-themed Olympiad party for tonight has been cancelled following the depot explosion that killed 25 soldiers:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19499146

I also noticed an unofficial list of titles here:

http://results.chessolympiadistanbul.co ... =1&flag=30

Are those actually new titles, or title norms?

[Andrew Bak]

New titles - as scoring a certain percentage automatically gives you the title.

I listed the British and Irish title recipients in my latest report.

[IM Jack Rudd]

To be accurate: the FM and CM lists are new titles - scoring a certain percentage automatically gives you the title. The IM and GM lists are final norms.

I can confirm that the Irish party did take place having just returned from it
