European Club Cup 2013
#11
From the official website of the event -

Quote:According to FIDE regulations, the European Club Cup offers the possibility for players to achieve GM, IM, WGM and WIM norms based on 7 games.

I reckon for an IM Norm Jonathan requires a draw against IM Mads Andersen who's played board 1 throughout for Edinburgh West's round 7 opponents.

Andersen's had a good tournament as well and I think a win for him would give him a GM Norm.

So it looks like one of them is going to finish tomorrow with a Norm from the event.

Am I missing something from Jonathan's game today or is b6 just a horrendous blunder. Leaving aside BC6+, I can't see what black was thinking they could reply to Rxa8, that looked good enough to persuade them to play b6. Did they simply forget there was a white bishop on g2?
