Three live games now underway: http://api.livechesscloud.com/live/5613 ... 8a96bc0803

All good stuff, but I'm not entirely convinced about the value of transmitting such mismatches live - save to give a couple of juniors their moment in the sun? Might it not be better to start transmission in later rounds, when the field will have settled down a bit (which would also have the benefit of giving the technical team more time to iron out any potential glitches).

It looks like all four boards in operation for round 2: http://api.livechesscloud.com/live/5613 ... 8a96bc0803

An entertaining struggle between Joseph McPhillips and Jonah Willow has ended.

Worthy of a post-mortem.

Are there any results online? I've followed the live boards but it would be interesting to know if there are any other 3/3s etc

[John Upham]

I wish I could bring good news about on-line results but I doubt if they are available.

You can imagine a conversation I might have with Mike about this!

We have scores showing on the live boards so I call that progress

Round 6:

Wadsworth (15) Kalavannan (13) Game drawn so Matthew wins the 2015 UK Chess Challenge).
Foster (12) v McPhillips (12)
Taylor AA (12) v Golding A (12)
Isaksen (10) v Herring (12)

Challengers:

Brewer (15) v Vir (13)
Ashworth (15) v Grieve (13)

I suspect an error in the scores for the Challengers

[Mike Truran]

A bit of a lottery without increments.

Any ideas where live games or results or pairings can be found for the 2016 event this weekend?

[John Upham]

I believe that David Clayton was not available for the 2016 Terafinal and therefore no live game coverage.

2016 features a great opportunity for Akshaya to break the male monopoly on the Strat title.
