A beautiful attack from Matthew to take down Jules Moussard, who sportingly gave him mate on the board. Congrats to him.

[Kevin Thurlow]

And Peter Large won as well.

Which got me thinking, does anybody - ever - still "announce" mate these days?

There was a time when it was far from unknown even at master level.

Well played Matthew, I think that takes his rating back above 2470

[Mick Norris]

And Peter Large won as well.

Well done Peter, that's a decent rating gain of over 50 points

[Ian Thompson]

He now finds himself facing Andrea Botez so his game is being streamed to more than 15000 viewers on the BotezLive Twitch channel with commentary by GM Jon Ludvig Hammer.

Should he have the right to refuse to take part in that? I think he should if he doesn't want to.

I'm not sure about this specific event but, in general, opponents of streamers can ask not to be on camera and I can remember at least one case of a streamer's game not being broadcast because the opponent requested it not to be.

Probably no opt-out as the tournament regulations say

"Photographs of players may be taken during the tournament. Additionally, players can expect to be on camera while playing on live DGT boards. By participating in the competition, players acknowledge and agree to these conditions."

[Jonathan Rogers]

Hmmm. Whose camera, and for what purposes, though? I don't regard the clause above as readily applying to one party to the game seeking financial profit.

Matthew finishes joint 2nd, 6th on tiebreak

Peter is top over 65, 21st on tiebreak or joint 9th
