The womens' match is interesting. Admittedly there is a risk of being mated on board four, but chances on 2 and 3.

I like David's position, even if the computer can't see anything concrete. White's king looks shaky.

Anything could happen in Luke's game, as is normal.

agreed though at their level there will need to be something concrete.

Draw with White, try and win with Black? (Along with the expected time trouble, I am not going to watch the time scrambles!)

Does it look like other teams will catch up if this match finishes 2-2?

Without wishing to sound like a broken record, David's clock...

Yes, I just edited my post to say that. Time for a lie down!

Some of the other clocks have been corrected, so probably board 3 is wrong.

I cannot get updates on chess 24. Is it just me?

I have and it is still loading (forever). Presumably my internet connection then.

Seems to be back now, but really annoying.

No, not your connection. A known problem, but of course they will deny it.

More likely at Chess 24's end. Loads of extra people for the time scrambles!
