England 1 (without me) had a great result in Round 8 beating 6th seeded Denmark 1 2½-1½. They now lie 3rd equal (6th on tiebreak) compared with their seeding of 17th.
Unfortunately this means that in the last round tomorrow they will be facing the top seeds Belarus. Live games starting at 8 am BST should appear at
