          Thank you Vlad. Enrico always plays interesting chess. Will be interesting to see what he pulls out of his bag this tournament.

                    Here is a CBC article. I know that there was a newsclip as I heard some people talking about it but I haven't seen it yet.

                        The crosstable still has an error on a Humphreys - Haessel result.

                          Sorry, my fault, corrected now. I noticed the error about an hour after revising the crosstable, then had a computer problem which didn't allow access to the server.

                            Last round howler

                            Either player fatigue set in or there was an error in the transmission of the following game from the last round:

                            Haessel - Arruebarrena



                            Clearly White has no winning chances and the game should be drawn after 68 Nxa3 Kxa3 69 Kxc3. Instead 68 Na1??? appeared on the board, gifting a point after 68..Kxa1 Kc2 Ka2 0-1. Good lord!

                            And that wasn't the only puzzling outcome of the round...

                              No transmission error there.
