British Championship 2023

[Joey Stewart]

I'll go full out with my prediction - white wins on all three top boards.

[Andy Stoker]

What happened in the Shaw-Rudd game yesterday - an abrupt finish in a position which looked equal-ish - did I miss something - or was there a phone incident or similar. I see Shaw is paired for today.

[Andy Stoker]

Boards 1 / 2 / 3 --> white win / draw / white win

[Mark Howitt]

Ra1 was blunder from Shaw.

I'm looking at the Rd 6 game which supposedly finished 12 Bxg4 0-1

Ah - thank you - I was watching on chess.com

[IM Jack Rudd]

Shaw's position is very hard to play in practice there, even if the engine says it's equal.

[IM Jack Rudd]

I'll go for

Adams ½-½ Pert
Fernandez 1-0 Hebden
Grieve 1-0 Dong

[Graham Borrowdale]

Adams 1-0 Pert
Fernandez 1/2 Hebden
Grieve 1-0 Dong

I thought he played fine up until Ra1. That was a strange move.

[Mark Howitt]

Well when I say fine I mean not too bad...

[Joey Stewart]

It was looking like my 3-0 prediction for the white pieces was going fine until just now in harry grieves game - worst part about it is that on twitch the commentators were championing that dumbass Rf1 move without seeming to even consider h4 was the best (and pretty much the only) move for black and now he's looking likely to get swindled.
