Three of the top four matches in round 2 ended with 4.5-3.5 scorelines so plenty of hard fought chess.

It really is the most open event in terms of picking a winner. You would still think that Wood Green and Manx Liberty are the strongest by some distance but they hardly asserted themselves today. Perhaps they are just happy to win against plausible opponents. Cheddleton and Guildford impressive but not properly tested yet.

Shame about the defaults in other matches but realistically the season could well continue like this - and the important outcome is that it continues at all.

anyone else struggling to follow the games so far? only chess 24 is showing anything for me, and still there are several missing games and indicated resignations on move four or five which seem most unlikely.

alas I think there are still several transmission problems. Simplest example is the reported 9...Bc6 10 Bd5 here

but plenty of others too

Tim Dickinson must be delighted with his GM title though.
