Train strikes tomorrow will make internal travel more challenging for those English based players heading for airports.

David Howell doing the commentary. His picture on Chess24 makes him look increasingly like a young Vishy Anand to my mind. Probably my eyesight is going.

Wood Green have got a tough pairing in round 2 - Offerspill - the number 4 seeds and their women’s team have an even tougher pairing in Superchess - the number 3 seeds.

These are the pairings that make going to these events worthwhile though and at least it means they will be on the live boards.

"Ravi has black against Magnus!"
Ideal pairing - nothing to lose and should have white next game.

Re: European Club Cup & Club Cup for Women 2023
Celtic Tigers in round 2 have been paired against the Irish team Gonzaga.
https://chess-results.com/tnr774133.asp ... ES&flag=30
Interestingly, there are five Irish teams, and the number of IRL players overall is 32, more than Norway and England, and the hosts Albania, and the country with the third-most number of players, behind the Netherlands (42) and Germany (60) - there are six Dutch team and seven German teams.
(I know that some of these players are playing for clubs from another country.)
Impressive total of 599 players.
(Those are the stats for the Open. In the women's event, 121 players, the largest number of players (9) is joint between England, Sweden and Ukraine.)

Re: European Club Cup & Club Cup for Women 2023
I thought the Knight sac Haria played in it was a bit suspicious but his position seemed to be getting steadily worse before it. Hardly surprising since he didn't generate any counter play. I'm certainly not an expert but I have played the French all my life and even I know if you don't generate counter play, you are going to get squashed and sat on. Definitely not a good idea to sac a knight when all you are left for back up for the queen is a bad bishop that isn't even in the game.Nick Burrows wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 12:41 pmMagnus Carlsen Vs Ravi Haria

Possibly he reached a stage with which I am very familiar, "Groan, what do I do now? Oh let's try this."
