Well done England a Great Result -Played very Well and only blip on the card was the loss to China. However they outgraded us on every board so was not unexpected. If Mickey had been on form we may have even won it.

The New grades are now out and updated on system. However there is still a 500 code error on some pages but you just have to refresh the page and it then works (for some reason). However the games which go with the new grades are not working at the moment probably due to the amount of data that has ...

Okay Richard I understand its an error but when is the new grading list coming out as I understand its imminent.

Thanks

I have not read all of the comments on here so apologies if someone else has said this already. But here goes Who the hell is laura barnes ? She may be chief arbiter but she should keep herself to chess matters not what someone wears at a presentation. Who gave her the right to make that decision an...

Can anyone tell Andrew there is no sound on his broadcast for internet viewers- lose connection it would seem

yep I know they are brothers but after 9 moves couldn't they at least try a little bit harder!!!! Why? With the higher rated brother being black and five rounds still to go it seemed to make sense for both of them. Loz hi surely Short Howell could have said that yesterday or Adams Howell today. I t...

That would be a great pairing later on if they have to play each other!!! Good luck to both of them and I do beli...

I have Sorted it out I now represent Nigeria for FIDE events !!!!!

Sorry Alan but all credibility went out of the window when you started harking on about Birmingham as a venue for the WCC Finals. Having been to Birmingham on numerous occasions through the years -I'm afraid to say apart from a few places its a dump. If you are going to have it anywhere it has to be...

Sean out of interest why has Colin Crouch got two 1/2 point = in round 4 and 6 is this normal?

John I think that you are twisiting my words slightly as i think you know i was talking about DGT boards. Do they not transmit the moves played to a computer which could then send the information (i.e the moves) to another Computer. Therefore I assumed that this information could be sent in bulk by ...

Guys I take your point but at least my comments have raised the debate. As I see it the guys that make the DGT Board are ripping off the normal chess player as I am sure they could charge half of that and still make a tidy profit. The only problem is that until a competitor comes along and offers an...
