European Team Championship November 2023

[Jonathan Rogers]

Back now, and yes Carlsen is bust!

[Christopher Kreuzer]

Time control at move 40?

[Jonathan Rogers]

might be four draws in the men's match; Luke looking more comfortable now. But Toma is in swindle mode in the womens' match!

Is the technique of Queen against Knight and Bishop fairly easy (with some kingside pawns left as well, which will help)?

[Jonathan Rogers]

as you say, Black's loose pawns on the kingside matter. I understand MC playing on, but a hold would be remarkable even by his standards (and I remember his remarkable hold v Kramnik in the second London Chess Classic).

top seeds Azerbaijan on course to lose again!

[NickFaulks]

I hope Bjerre doesn't lose, that would be a shame.

[LawrenceCooper]

Four draws in the England-Germany match but sadly the women have lost their match with one game still in progress.

The Magnus game was a draw.

[Jonathan Rogers]

Another for the Magnus collection ... I did assume that a 2650 odd would convert, but admittedly I am not in the habit of meeting (or showing) Magnus levels of resistance.

[Christopher Kreuzer]

France losing in the Women's event.

According to Sesse it all went in one move really - the 41st of course!

That is becoming like following the England cricket team!
