We think the rule should be slightly amended to say; In Division 1, teams must comprise - a female player I wonder what people think to this change? This seemed like a sensible suggestion to me, but I don't know much about the UK Equality Act, etc. So I consulted AI, which came up with the followin...

Luke is sadly losing. Both our women's team and India 2 have won again.

Fantastic news!

Ravi is currently winning (-6.38). If he converts, will this clinch his GM title?

Congratulations to Ravi for his final GM norm, and to Zala for the IM norm!

This would be his 2nd GM norm according to the FIDE site. Needs 0.5/2 for the norm, against Hebden & Harvey.

So what is the point of testing if a negative is met with "you might have it anyway, so you're out"? To me, the real point is that both of the female players said they felt unwell, so not playing was a sensible decision. The tweet states that they both felt well, not unwell.

Federico is one of Hendon/Barnet Knights' talented juniors. He's currently the London U18 & U21 champion.

Yes, this was a fantastic event - superbly run, and I would highly recommend it to any schools thinking about entering.

Many thanks to the organisers and to St.Catherine's for a great day.

I was about to post the women's pairings - is there any way of doing it without it taking about a thousand years cutting out all the gaps?

Speed it up by first pasting the text into a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and replacing the 'tab' character with a single space.

Thanks for the heads-up Paul.

Alex - will the usual downloads be added soon?
