Clearly not, now 0-18, but he was struggling in one of them! I'm beginning to think he's better than me... Fantastic score by Keith in the event though, 728 points (from 248 games!), when nobody else beat 400.

And I have to report a possible TN in the Morra, After 1.e4 c5, 2.d4 I mouseslipped with 2....c4, leaving me a pawn down with no centre whatsoever, but still won. However, I doubt it's worth doing deliberately.
