Not just you.... but maybe Black resigned because he didn't see a defense to 26.Be5

Experiencing a few technical difficulties. Will try to update asap.

Updated, a move didn't properly register and threw things out of order.

All set,enjoy.

Thanks for viewing.

Hi John,
The game had ended at that point. I was busy in the skittles room and didn't get around to entering the result until much later.

On the DGT Board there is a unique way to enter the result by using the Kings on specific squares.

White wins = White King on e4 and Black King on d5 (White central squares)
Black wins = White King on d4 and Black King on e5 (Black central squares)
Draw = White King on e4 and Black King on e5

The technical aspect to remember is that the clock needs to be paused and the Kings need to be placed at the same time on the squares to enter the results correctly

I should have a print out next to the Board to informs player of the process.

Thanks for watching.

Hi Hugh,

For some bizarre reason move 9 didn't register. I finally figured out how to correct it ,after many frustrating attempts,despite playing a game myself. Luckily I won a nice tactical game after figuring it out.

Here are the final standings. A very impressive result was achieved by Quintin Lang in the U2000. Thanks Omar for the DGT coverage. I should know by Friday about our next one.
