The elite blitz (to decide the draw order for the London Classic proper) kicks off in about half an hour...

Thanks, John. Looking at the website, the results (in the table) and the standings and the results shown for the games don't quite seem to match up. Adams is shown as losing his last two games in the table, but won them in the PGNs?

Presumably a typo on the official site as the table at item 4 of the latest TWIC report backs up that Adams won both games vs Giri http://www.theweekinchess.com/html/twic1048.html

I think there might have been wrong-way-round names set for the game when it was initiated but it was rectified during the course of the game. Understandably, not everyone picked this up.
