ENGLISH BLUES
A tough round for the English players. The brothers Pert and John Emms all lost, leaving Wells, Williams, Davies and Hebden best placed to score a home win. Given that the Isle of Man is not synonymous with England, and we are talking about the British Isles, I should add genial Scottish grandmaster Paul Motwani to that list. But there are seven grandmasters ahead of them: Korneev, Iordachescu, Fridman, Kuzmin, Agdestein, Kogan, Sulskis all have 4/5.
Top board Barsov-Korneev ended in only ten moves but there was a bit more competitive spirit on board two where Lputian tried hard to beat Zatonskih. The former Ukrainian, now US, woman grandmaster had to show her best defensive abilities to withstand a lot of positional pressure but she proved to be up to the task.
The last game to finish was Jonkman-D.Porat in which the untitled 17-year-old from Israel overturned the form book and overcame the Dutch grandmaster. It ended at 8.28pm at which time the arbiters breathed a sigh of relief and went off to have dinner. I am afraid that two of the game scores completely defeated the keyer-in - all four score sheets were illegible after move 30.
