Gormally lost to someone graded 192 today (Simon Fowler). He's become the tournament whipping boy, I wish I was playing him tomorrow!
The game between Aagard and Stephen Gordon is stuck at move 41 (with Black to move) on the live games website. I suspect Aagard may have resigned as even I could win for Black in that position. I think Haslinger may lose a ...[text shortened]... which case there could be several players in with a chance of winning the tournament tomorrow!
That leaves Aagard and Gordon on 7.5, and a bunch on 7. Rowson's still got a chance of making it 4 in a row.
Two hours into the final round. Both leaders are the exchange down, but Aagard has two pawns compensation and Gordon one. I think Aagard is worse and Gordon better, but both games could go either way. David Howell has a horrible position and I'll be amazed if he survives.
Here is a weird game - Storey vs Jack Rudd:
1. e4 d6 2. h4 Nf6 3. Nc3 c5 4. d3 Nc6 5. h5 h6 6. Rh4 e5 7. Be3 Be7 8. g3 d5 9. Bd2 d4 10. Nce2 Bg4 11. f3 Bxh5 12. Rh2 Bg6 13. Kf2 Nd7 14. Bh3 O-O 15. Bxd7 Qxd7 16. g4 c4 17.

Have to admit it now looks very good for Aagaard. Flear has clearly gone wrong badly somewhere. If Gordon beats Kosten - and I think he will, it's been a helluva game - he will tie for first with Aagard. Would that mean a tiebreak tomorrow morning for the title?
Originally posted by cludiI expected him to say that if he won he was Scottish (and take pride in that) and if he had lost he would claim a Dane had failed to win the British championship. People are normally disowned when they are not doing so well not when they are winning. (Ask the tennis fans about Greg Rusedski.)
That's what you say!
In my mind he's still danish...LOL

If you had an ounce of sense, you'd understand that a Dane cannot win the British Championship.
