Why no photo of the women's team?? (Jackson, Lauterbach, Fink-Nunn, Regan.)

I have seen plenty on social media. As one of the team is an ECF director I suspect that one will appear at some point.

The Guardian chess column today has more details:

There was even a third English team gold. England women 50+, fielding Sheila Jackson, Ingrid Lauterbach, Natasha Regan and Petra Fink-Nunn, were awarded a world title despite being the only team in their category. Seeded 17th out of 23, they finished 13th, defeated male opponents from Norway and Poland, and were ahead of two of the four England men’s teams. Jackson was part of the England team which won silver at the Haifa Olympiad in 1976.

If you mean my last game, Justin, she was already World Champion when I was just 1 year old!

I played another World Champion in Jon Arnason, but that game was a draw.

A slight downer, for me anyway, was that they made a mess of my gold medal for player 5, accidentally awarding me bronze instead, but this is in the process of being corrected. So 4 of us managed individual gold, which I guess doesn't happen too often.

From Keith's Facebook page:

"I'm pleased to report that the issue over the Gold medal for my individual performance has now been resolved, and it will soon be in the post to me.
Many thanks to ECF International Director Malcolm Pein for interceding for me."

Congratulations to all concerned.

Will you now all be aiming for a repeat performance at the European Senior Team Championships (Dresden in October/November)?
So far it's nearly all German teams that have entered.

Yes, Tim!
