Re: Gawain Jones in European semi-final 7pm TONIGHT
I was lucky enough to play some 2 minute chess v Navara on lichess a couple of months or so ago. His rating was lower than expected and I said I would have expected him to be 2800 (on Lichess), but he said that 2700 was nearer the mark because he got too nervous when very short of time.
We were talking about 2 minute chess though - I only just noticed this and don't know what this speed is.

nice blitz game by Gawain, presumably Black is just winning when he plays ...Nb2 rather than having his knight trapped!

Well done Gawain! And possibly slight favourite against Shirov?
