              Re: Some games from Varennes....

              Thanks for posting the games, and thanks to the organizers for having 4 games live via DGT.

              Bator's nice endgame tactic from round 3 is annotated on the CFC Newsfeed here:

                Re: Some games from Varennes....

                as of 2 pm EDT as I post this - board 4.1 is still in progress. Again - note that these moves are not final until I verify them with the original scoresheets.

                      The decisive game from Rd 5 with promotion into a Knight has been diagrammed and annotated by the FQE. Take a look for your viewing pleasure.

                      Thanks again Hugh for your tireless work and almost real-time positings! We gave all Rd 5 scoresheets to Michel who would pass them on to Richard after the holiday, so that you could retrieve the whole at the Stade.

                        Bator was actually playing Luis Manuel Perez on stage in round 3!

                          Thanks for pointing that out. There are a few other corrections I have been making to gamescores which will show up in the final file in a few days. Biggest problem is players moving the pieces on the DGT boards after the game is over, so some games on the top four boards will have a few moves cut off in the final version.
