Had an e-mail from Shannon mid tournament and she wasn't happy with all the draws, particualarly one which was a win where she allowed a perpetual in time trouble.
However she doesn't appear to have played anyone lower rated than herself (apart from one unrated player), and her performance rating was quite good.
She has loved travelling in Eastern Europe and says Slovenia is beautiful and Croatia too.
She comes back to Aus next weekend via London and I will try not too stress too much about bombs. :)
