I am unsure if the FIDE list is up to date

In my experience the list is normally no more than a few days out of date. However, it is a list of title applications received by FIDE from National Federations.

The column on the left gives the date on which the application was published.

Hamish Olson has qualified for the British under rule E of those regulations (as have Dong and Bezuidenhout if they are eligible).

Just a quick note to thank Tim Wall and the rest of his team, including Paul McKeown who was the arbiter in the event I played, for a very well organised tournament.

Is there somewhere I can download the games?

This week's The Week in Chess has 196 of the games, probably the top 22 boards in each round, bar a couple where the game score is missing.

Thanks - perfect!

Do we know the norms that were achieved from this event?

None in the Masters, according to this tweet.

Thanks, Peter. It was an interesting tournament to be part of and to observe. The top boards of the masters involved some real fighting chess - you were certainly part of that!

Good to see plenty of titled players at the event.
