On ChessBomb's live Arena there are so many live games - it means it's very rich association, they can afford 50 electronic chess sets amazing.
I played in one of the weekender tournaments, no live boards at that level ????. I came 3rd, +3 =2 in 5 games.

Is anyone watching, or playing, at the venue cymru?
I watched this afternoon's play.

Originally posted by @mchillI remember when I was younger, my dad asking me which sport resembled chess. The answer being American football. A lot of the opening plays all being pre scripted. And I'm afraid I'll be heading to washington over Xmas to watch the Broncos play the Redskins as well as catching Ravens and Eagles games too!

Back to the chess though and I've been watching the top games live all week and loved it, the highlight being the round 5 game between Luke Mcshane and John Merrion. I don't know how to present the game but it's well worth looking up.
