All of 'Team A' have now arrived at the Chongqing YuCai Middle School, which is also the venue for the chess. We are just waiting for Zheming and Jake to arrive in Team B. Accommodation is basic, but most importantly is air conditioned and the team are in high spirits. The chess will start tomorrow with a single round at 3.30pm (8.30am UK time) after an opening ceremony and team meeting.
