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:

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.

Re: Some games from Varennes....

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.

Re: Some games from Varennes....

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

Re: Some games from Varennes....

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.
