Scottish Championships 2013 - Day 6 - TV Success


We did it, by George we did it.  After 6 days of  sweat, blood and tears, we finally got the 4 large screen TV's to work and display the games in progress.  I can now go home safe in the knowledge that I have completed my task...

And finally...

Day 6 seemed to be the hottest day so far.  It was not down to the temperature, more down to the humidity.  I suspect there have been some corking blinders made purely down to the heat.

Game of the day had to be the board 4 clash between young Andrew McClement and GM Imre Hera.  The game ended up with a position where both players had a forced mate on the board.  Andrew was mate in 1 and Imre mate in 2.  Unfortunately it was Imre's move which gave him the win in a thoroughly entertaining game.



 Today was a really strange day, both Alex and I were really tired.  I have never seen the two of us make so many mistakes in admin.  Thankfully, mainly down to Alex's insistence, we are using the computer to check our draws so we can instantly spot when we do something odd (like writing the score the wrong way around!)

Time for food, sleep and an early night as tomorrow is the Longest Day!!
