A nice quick win to end a long fortnight of chess. I make it to 50%. The finish was perfectly avoidable, I'm sure, but Richard was moving a little too quickly and missed an obvious tactic. After my last move, I glanced over to my right at Paul Spiller who looked at the position then gave me a small nod of approval.

Well done Amiel - you deserve it after all your hard work blogging. :)

seconded; Amiel's coverage of the Doeberl and SIO has been much appreciated.
I can't help thinking how good it would be if Amiel could do the same at the Olympiad in Dresden... maybe Aussie chess fans could set up a separate appeal for a ticket for TCG? :-)
