Candidates start today - Andy Howie - 17-03-2020

For those looking for a Chess Fix, the candidates start today.  Games are being broadcast on multiple platforms but Chess24.com looks the most interesting with MC providing some of the commentary.

As well as myself out here, Alex McFarlane has been selected as one of the reserves for the Appeals Committee.  Fantastic to see two Scots involved with such a prestigious tournament.

We have 2 medicals a day to check for Covid-19 as well as a formal test on day 1 and 10.  I have just been told my results were clear (as has everyone so far).  Fingers crossed it goes well, we don't have to postpone and we can all get home at the end!

I have arrived home safely (some 40 hours after I left!). Thanks everyone for your kind messages. It was really appreciated
