Round 4 underway Gawain v Mickey

[David Shepherd]

I had a quick look at the rules re entry and maybe I have missed something. I don't understand why there wasn't a clause in the rating lower limit with a Fide rating to allow players living overseas to enter when they are a similar standard. Maybe this is covered by wildcards.

How many players in the World are there who are not born in England, are FIDE registered as ENG and live overseas? (Beyond the hypothetical of somebody who may not be registered at all, have no connection with England, and just register as ENG for the purposes of playing in the tournament?)

Round 5 Board 1 of the English Women's Championship has been frozen for more than an hour on lichess and hopelessly garbled on DGT, with no sign that anybody has noticed.

On Board 2 I really hope Peter's clock is wrong, but fear it isn't. Half an hour on 12. exd6?

[Keith Arkell]

The problem for Gawain is that they have landed in a position in which it is impossible for him to generate a way where Peter might go wrong.

[Keith Arkell]

I spoke too soon!

Play-off at 3!
