Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
This is a very exiting tournament.
you should say “The action heats…” not “The actions heat…”
Is it true that monroi is in full support of the .pgn view & paste utility recently linked to your site below?

If it takes Monroi 100+ hours to fix their Hotel connection to the firewall, then perhaps they might wish to consider updating their .pgn’s to the central server outside the hotel for review?!!!???!?
Coincidentally, I also cannot get streaming .pgns of round 4 yet, an hour after the round start (did they just get up and walk out of the premises altogether?!!?!).
Maybe they’ll still be recognized as a fault-free electronic version of a score-sheet, but given some of the illegal moves seen in a game in round 2 (a King walked into and stayed in check for 5+ moves), but next time, I’m instead considering the purchase of a dgt board, even if I need to purchase 8 extra Queens, Knights, Bishops and Rooks, separately.
You can see the Canadian Open live games on ICC, if you are a member. It has only a few games, but looks very good. Get a one year membership for only $59.95 today. You can also replay some previous games using DGT Theatre. It is really better to carry dgt board from tournament to tournament. At least it looks like a dangerous wooden tool, and not like some state of the art pocket electronic recorder (you can’t even hit a mosquito with it). Get ready to install 3 million feet cable from the board to your home computer for live games.
thanks. That scrolling action control on the mouse sure makes it quick to get through all ’em short, pre-arranged draws, like Short.
