Today (Friday) is a well deserved rest day for our team in Turkey. They are all heading to the Lunarpark for a wee day out. Ali says that this is the first tournament she has played in where the venue is in the mountains and is a ski resort. She says it is a wee bit cold ! Ali also said that she did consider 16...R x N in her last game but thought her opponent had a defence. Tomorrow we have Moldova for opponents (or partners as the Russians say) at 10am local time. The good news is that, at last, they do not have a reserve so prep should hopefully be straightforward, with no need to guess who you are playing. They are having a good time and are socialising with the other teams. Team spirit is high after our last couple of very good results so hoping for a nice finish.
